The property location is something of a double-edged sword. Very close to all the amenities of Stow but yards from the very busy A429, with its heavy traffic, including a fair few emergency vehicles hurtling past. Weather was warm but given traffic noise, opening bedroom windows wasn’t an attractive option. Property is either quaint or given steep stairs, low ceilings and awkward layout of 2 bedrooms in the eaves, a bit annoying, depending on your point of view, though to be fair, it was alluded to in the literature. It was clean overall but extractor fans weren’t working in the upstairs bathroom and there was some staining to soft furnishings. It was pretty well equipped and did the job but given the above, probably won’t return.

Thank you, Barry for your review of Heath Cottage. The property description does state that -'This property is laid out over three floors and guests with young children should note that the property has steep staircases, particularly up to the second floor, and the front door opens directly onto the road outside. There are also ceilings throughout and low beams on the stairs up to the second floor, which could make it difficult to carry an infant up the stairs.' The map under the location information does clearly show where the cottage is located. We are delighted that you found the property to be clean and well equipped.

Served its purpose but could have been better!

Although a very quaint cottage that is expected in the Cotswold, the property needs some touch ups. With it being dog friendly, you can smell this in the house and upholstery. There is also an issue with the upstairs bathroom (shower) leaking to downstairs. Although not a huge issue whilst being there, I am sure the landlord would prefer this to be fixed before it creates further damage. The cottage is located just off the main road and parking was fine, on street. There was plenty of crockery and amenities (although no coffee granules left). There is an M&S petrol station across the road which was handy. Located closely to the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold. The Porch House was lovely for Dinner! Overall, the cottage served its purpose but could have been cleaner.

Heath cottage is a fantastic find. A quaint old cottage. Spotlessly clean. Wonderfully comfortable. Very well equipped. Right in the middle of things. We would highly recommend.

Nothing to complain about here. Since being asked to review though, I'll remark that some decor could be updated and kitchen utensils are both rather worn and limited. As was the crockery (needed nice deep cereal bowls!). Really minor quibbles; this is a very comfortable cottage, warm and snug in the cold weather we had with nice outside space and well positioned for Stowe's amenities and for getting out and about. The kitchen is small and limited but we were fine with four of us. With six exclusively self catering it would have been a push, i think.
We really appreciated the local management (Sarah) being proactive and attentive. And so helpful, friendly and willing to assist with our enquiries. Huge thanks to her!

We've just had a great short stay and would recommend Heath Cottage without hesitation

Great location and lovely old cottage, which was warm and inviting when we arrived. However, there was no privacy in the living room as there was a window blind missing - this room faces the main road so anyone passing could look in. The ceiling lights in the dining room did not work but there were lamps that could be used instead, the thermostat was hanging off the wall. There was ample crockery but on the whole the kitchen was poorly equipped and in desperate need of a refurb.

Thank you Jennifer for your review of Heath Cottage. We are delighted that you found the cottage to be in a fantastic location. The property is due to undergo some renovation work early next year to improve the facilities for guests. We hope you will be back to stay again soon! Please note- this refurbishment was completed in March 2023. Heath Cottage now has a lovely new kitchen/diner, downstairs shower room and utility room

Great cottage
