3 & 4 Hawthorn Cottages has a lovely garden for guests to enjoy and it is important to the owners that guests are courteous and considerate towards the neighbouring properties. We politely request that guests do not disturb the neighbours and that loud music is not played outside after 21:00
The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling 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. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates
Charging electric vehicles at this property is not permitted
Please note there is CCTV to the front of the property and to the rear garden, overlooking the side entrance onto the main road and footpath

Lovely spacious country cottage.

Lovely spacious country cottage, good areas for cooking, dining and sitting. The outside hot tub was a nice feature. Situated close to the town centre, only a 5 minute walk to the shops. The place has been recently renovated to a high specification. Would stay again.

Could be better

The house was great and position is great for the village (note a bit noisy from the road). There were lots of cobwebs in the house and the sofas were really uncomfortable. The bedding and pillows were also uncomfortable and some of the windows did not close properly meaning it was quite cold at night. The radiator in the sitting did not work at all but there was an electric heater we used. It’s a great house but for the price it is not finished or presented to a high level. We had a great time and it is good but we have stayed in places which have been similar and the finish and quality has been much better.

Great apart from the hot tub didn’t

The accommodation was suitable for our needs, it was nicely decorated (apart from the inappropriate picture on landing) cosy and a great location as it was easily accessible to the town. The only downsides were the hot tub didn’t work and we had to contact the manager. It was only ready to use Sunday morning and we had to leave on Sunday so didn’t get our use of it and that was a one of the reasons we chose this accommodation. Also the heating didn’t work in the some of the bedrooms, there was some cobwebs and dishwasher tablets weren’t provided

We are sorry to learn about the issues you experienced with the hot tub during your stay.

He has also apologised that the heating was not working effectively in the downstairs bedroom and advised that heaters were provided to ensure your comfort. Regarding the kitchen supplies, the property manager has confirmed that a starter pack is provided and that four dishwasher tablets were left for your stay, with additional tablets stored beneath the sink. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Cotswolds in the future.

Great location, but property needs some attention

Lovely property overall & perfect for our family get together. Fabulous location, close to anything you need and more. It’s two properties joined together which has resulted in some issues with low ceilings where the stairs have been reconfigured. The overall living area, kitchen, dining room etc were great - and the bedrooms themselves were great too. Where the property lets itself down was the bathrooms and toilets. They are showing signs of their age and need upgrading - in terms of decor and also the toilets & sinks themselves etc. The windows throughout the property also need some attention - some were difficult to open, had rotten wood etc. Given the price of the accomodation we would have expected a consistent level of quality throughout. We did have an issue with one of the bathrooms actually flooding but this was dealt with by the management company.

Party of 5 ladies

The house is ideally located for the village and for exploring the area in general. There were some snags that we reported but they were promptly dealt with by Kevin. The bathrooms could do with towel rails for bigger towels and also some hooks would be useful. The WiFi was slow and the connection details displayed in the house were for the smart TV and not for our mobile phones!
