  This will be shared with the property owner. Beautifully appointed and recent updates have obviously been done with a lot of thought to presentation and style (updated photos on the site would be helpful!) by the owners. Great location in heart of Stow with easy walk to shops, pubs and restaurants and all key sites in the Cotswolds within 30 mins drive. Use of church car park good addition as road outside the cottage busy during working hours. Cottage was immaculately clean, piping hot water at all times (we were there in a heatwave so can’t vouch for the heating!) good provision of basics and the wine and shortbread a nice welcoming touch. So, what’s the catch?? This is a typical Cotswolds cottage and the major drawback is that the cottage is absolutely tiny with room sizes and ceiling heights to match. My husband and I stayed for a week so the lack of decent wardrobe space or drawers was a problem. As a result would recommend 3 adults max. and only a couple if you want to spend your break in some comfort. The staircase was borderline dangerous (steep and slippy) and this should have been highlighted on the listing to help those with mobility issues. Couple of maintenance requirements - missing bottle shelf in fridge, shower head in en suite needs descaling/replacing and outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned to same standard as inside. I feel sad writing all that but the lack of comfort did take the edge off a lovely week’s stay.

  A small property which is perfectly good enough for a couple for a week.

  It is placed almost in the centre if Stow and there are many pubs, restaurants and shops in this lovely Cotswold town. Highlights for us were visitsvto National Trust houses Hidcot Gardens and, even better, Snowshill Manor. Bourton on the Water is lovely but best visited early on a weekday as it attracts so many tourists. Upper and Lower Slaughter are chocolate boxy villages very close to Stow and there are brilliant walks to be had through delightful countryside. Not far away are Cirencester which is the best town nearby that we visited, Tewkesbury was OK. Stratford-upon-Avon just trades on Shakespeare and the unremarkable theatre but apart from a good waterfront on the river and canal and a few old buildings is rather disappointing.

  The cottage was really lovely and the location is fantastic.

  One of the reasons I booked was because I had seen a lot of comments about how clean the cottage was. The towels and bedding were lovely and clean however some of the surface areas I didn’t think were very clean. The kettle was absolutely full of limescale, really badly in fact so we had to boil pans of water if we wanted a hot drink. The television only worked if you were using Netflix or one of the apps, normal television did not work. The double was was extremely uncomfortable, there seemed to be an issue with the mattress in that there was a bump in the middle of it, so good nights sleep didn’t happen. We were left a bottle of wine and biscuits which was a really lovely touch, so thank you so much for that.

  A lovely cottage, much improved by the owners.

  The improvements they have made look very smart against this traditional cottage. Great to have a good size welcome lobby to kick off your shoes and hang up your coats. Very cosy living room and practical kitchen with high tech appliances that are easy to use. Steep stairs but comfortable bedroom with an en-suite and the main bathroom. We had a lovely time relaxing here after days spent exploring the Cotswolds. Parking nearby very useful as well. Do take care when stepping out onto the road from the gated front garden as some drivers do tend to ignore this is a small residential street and drive too fast.

  Our stay at Coln Cottage rates as one of the best ever, please bear in mind I am now 70 years old!

  Everything was set up to be most welcoming, it was lovely and warm on a very cold day. There were lots of items there to help make the most of our time, e.g. an OS map places to see, lots of books and videos and even a 1000 piece jigsaw etc. The standard of everything was very high with a very comfy sofa and very smart high back dining chairs. To be able to park in a private courtyard was also a bonus. The location of the cottage meant easy access to the centre of Stowe with all its cafes, antique shops etc. There is no doubt that we will be back sometime in the future. This place is a gem.
