Cosy,comfortable cottage for four with a great kitchen, but road noise affected the peaceful setting

A lovely, cosy cottage and the perfect size for four people. The kitchen was particularly well equipped and had pretty much everything we needed for our stay. The main downside for us was the location next to a busy road, as the traffic noise did take away a little from the peaceful Cotswolds feel. There were also a few small maintenance points, such as door handles coming loose, and the dining area could do with brighter lighting. It would also have been useful to have more than one bin liner for a week-long stay. Overall, though, we had a really nice stay and found the cottage very comfortable.

Hello Maria, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your stay at Dotty's Cottage! We're pleased to hear that you found the property to be well-equipped, clean, and cosy. We're sorry to hear that you found the road noise disruptive during your stay. The owners have recently invested in triple glazing, so we're sorry to hear you didn't benefit from this. We appreciate your feedback and have passed this on to the owners to look into. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

High marks in the Cotswolds

Four of us (2 couples) enjoyed our stay at Dottie's Cottage. High marks for the cleanliness, high standard of the fittings, and walking distance to central Stow-on-the-Wold. Good communication and check-in, checkout process. Something to be aware of is the location is on a main road. Even with thick walls and double glazing, it can be loud in the middle of the night. Definitely tolerable in exchange for a central location.

Comfortable, characterful cottage in a central location but very very noisy and hot

The cottage is very well located for Stow being just off the main street. Parking outside isn't always possible but we easily found a space on the road nearby. The cottage is very characterful and comfortable/ well kitted out in terms of beds, appliances, etc., and was a good base for two of us for two nights. Welcome guide was helpful. Potential downsides to it depending on what matters to visitors: very very noisy being right next to the Fosse Way - the traffic didn't stop at all so it was hard to sleep. There's limited storage in the bedrooms and in the kitchen so if you're staying a while it might be tricky. Superficially clean but could do with a thorough clean and some maintenance - cobwebs everywhere, dirty windows, grouting missing or black in places, dirt in various places e.g. on the sealant around sinks, on the shower wall/ floor, visible signs of leaks and other maintenance needs. Courtyard garden not a great place to sit - lots of bins, lots of weeds. Way too hot - 10.5 tog duvet in a very warm house when it's 18 degrees outside and the sun is blaring through the windows is far from ideal! Had to make use of the aircon unit in April so hate to think what it might be like in the summer. Underfloor heating I'm sure is lovely in the winter but when it's spring and sunny it just felt way too hot and we had to keep opening doors and windows. We did turn radiators off and tried to adjust the bathroom underfloor heating but it was still hot.
