    “Overall a good stay in the cottage, however some features do look a little jaded and could do with a freshen up (damaged walls, worktops etc).”

    During our stay we had the electric trip on the Sunday morning turning off the fridge & dishwasher etc, this was due to a substantial leak underneath the washing machine and cooker (junction box submerged in water). Although I appreciate this can happen to anyone at any property, it was quite clear this has been leaking for some time (black mould around rotten kick boards) and that the key signs weren't identified by property cleaners (mould & sound of running water near washing machine). I will ...

    During our stay we had the electric trip on the Sunday morning turning off the fridge & dishwasher etc, this was due to a substantial leak underneath the washing machine and cooker (junction box submerged in water). Although I appreciate this can happen to anyone at any property, it was quite clear this has been leaking for some time (black mould around rotten kick boards) and that the key signs weren't identified by property cleaners (mould & sound of running water near washing machine). I will say however that Louise was very efficient in sorting our issue (rectified within 3hrs) and was very helpful overall on the day. The property is ideally situated with the centre of Stow only a minute or so walk away so the location was ideal. Would visit again providing its given a little bit of TLC in the future.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the electric problem and are pleased that the owner sorted the issue quickly for you. We have passed your other comments onto the owner. We are glad you enjoyed the central location in Stow. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.

Note: The neighbouring cottages have right of access through the garden.

Note: This is an old property with character features, including steep stairs and low beams, which is laid out over two floors, and could therefore pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility.

Note: The property’s courtyard garden is enclosed; however, the neighbouring properties have a right of access through this garden, which could result in the gate to the road or the gate to the neighbouring property not being closed properly.

Note: Logs for the woodburning stove are provided under a fair usage policy (there is an honesty box for contributions towards the cost of logs used).

Note: A telephone is provided, with an honesty box for the cost of calls made (no international calls).

Note: Neighbouring property Spinners Cottage can be booked in conjunction with Primrose Cottage.

Note: The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted; Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed.
