Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot. The cottage had everything we needed and there are very pretty walks nearby for days you don’t want to drive. The host was gracious in accommodating some last minute travel arrangements.

The cottage and water tower were just perfect for our weekend away. Being tucked in a side street of Lower Swell meant we were in the countryside, away from the busy hotspots but with easy road access to Stow, Bourton etc. Would highly recommend.

Mike's home was just as described. It was very spacious and a great place to relax after full days of touring the Cotswolds. Stow-on-the-Wold is right at your doorstep. All amenities were readily available and the house was kept very clean. The check-in process was easy. Would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the area!

Lovely clean cottage with all amenities and in a great location as it’s near to all the villages. There are walks from the doorstep. We walked with the dogs from the cottage to Stow on the Wold. It was a good walk and all off road. The host, Mike, kept me updated with helpful information and the check in process was easy and smooth. We had welcome biscuits and milk, which was a nice touch. We will definitely stay again. Would highly recommend.

Such a fantastic stay! We stayed at this property for 2 nights and it met all our expectations. The rooms were clean and nice, a towel folded on each of the beds. The kitchen had all the essentials, the washing machine was great, and it was an amazing stop on our trip. Couldn’t recommend this property more.

We had a fabulous stay. We were a group of 4 with a dog.The property is lovely, light and airy. It was really cosy and warm and we had some pretty extreme weather during our stay but we’re toasty warm inside.The property is very well equipped. Load of cutlery and crockery, games, books etc.The beds were exceptionally comfortable.The property is well located to see all the sights.The host is really responsive and gets back to messages really quickly. Check in and out were exceptionally easy.The property is doggy friendly but you really wouldn’t know.We would certainly return.

Amazing location, minutes from Stow. We could hear the bells from the church in Stow, but didn’t have to deal with any of the traffic. The place was exactly as described, we loved it. Our son and his girlfriend stayed in the water tower and enjoyed having a little private area just for themselves. Mike was great with communication. We would 100% come back.

A wonderful property. Lived up to all its expectations. The host was super efficient, and easy to chat to. My only slight reservation about stopping again was something which the house and its owner could do nothing about it, and that was, the cars racing through the village. Our side road was quiet, but the B road at the bottom was dangerous especially if you had, as we did a 4 and an 8 year old. The village certainly could do with a 20 mph sign on the road or speed bumps.

The accommodation is located in a beautiful little town and has everything your heart desires. It is very tastefully furnished, and we and our whole family felt very comfortable. It was also very quiet at night, and we were able to set off on many wonderful excursions from there. Many thanks to the owners; we felt well looked after at all times.

We spent a great week in the cottage. Mike was easily reachable, the cottage has all comfort needed, the village pub offers great food and there is only a 30 minutes walk to stow. Great spot to visit the Cotswolds!

Such a lovely cottage, we loved the open plan of downstairs. The kitchen isn't huge which was tricky doing Christmas dinner but we managed!Beds and bedding were really comfy, the water tower was great for my daughter and her partner. Great having sky tv, furnishings were comfy and the cottage had everything we needed.Fab communication throughout with the host.
