Oxbow Cottage is the perfect bolthole for two people looking for a countryside getaway with beautiful walks through the rolling hills on your doorstep. Complete with log burning stove, beautiful views from the patio and Stow-on-the-Wold less than one mile on foot, this cottage has it all and is the ideal retreat after a day of exploring. One dog is also welcome.

We had a beautiful stay at Oxbow Cottage in the lovely Cotswold village of Maugersbury. This renovated cottage provided a serene, lovely spot from which to enjoy the surrounding English countryside. Everything about the cottage was comfortable and thoughtfully designed, from the very comfortable bed to the small but ample kitchen. The cottage provided very helpful walking maps that guided us in several lovely walks right from our doorstep. In the evenings, we could easily walk to nearby Stow on the Wold for dinners and strolls around the town. We loved the experience of getting up each morning to have coffee outside on a terrace that overlooked a small pasture, with gorgeous views of the Cotswold countryside. A memorable stay in this gorgeous landscape.

Nice little cottage in a great location to explore the Cotswolds. The secure drive & garden area was ideal for the dog to explore safely. However, the paddock to the left of the cottage which was exclusive to us for the stay had been left to its own devices which made it difficult to get in there with the dog & his ball amongst the stingers & long grass! This was a little disappointing as one of key reasons we booked the cottage. The cottage itself was comfy & well equipped. The bedroom was lovely ,cool & roomy. The bathroom & shower was clean & contemporary & very efficient. The only real negative was we experienced a problem with flies in the cottage whilst staying, which could have been due to to it being summer but did however seem a little over excessive ! Just not sure where they were all coming from!!!!Overall a nice stay which was ideal for a weekend getaway.

Thank you Joanne for your review of Oxbow Cottage. We are pleased to read that the cottage is in a great location, the drive and garden area is secure for dogs to explore and its an ideal location for a weekend getaway. We will pass on your positive feedback to the owner of the property. We will ask the property manager to cut the long grass and stinging nettles in the paddock for future guests to enjoy. We are sorry to hear that you experienced a problem with flies during your stay, however they are seasonal and unfortunately when the weather is humid they tend to appear. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

We had a very pleasant stay.The cottage was ideal for a couple and the proximity to Stow was very convenient being just a short walk away.

The surrounding scenery was lovely and we were fortunate to have lovely weather.

This is an excellent location as it is within easy walking distance of Stow on the Wold but in a peaceful setting. Small and compact but has everything you need.

Cottage was in a lovely location looks stunning from outside, sofa was not comfortable and the throw covering the sofa was full of dog hairs cutlery was dirty. Would be good to have spare battery's as we were struggling to use TV remote. Bathroom needs some work on it.

Oxbow Cottage is small but perfectly formed - it's not big, but it has everything you need in a beautiful location so you can go walking from the door, or walk into Stow to eat. it was comfortable, warm and very clean, and the design was well thought out, with good light, a cosy log burner and a great view while eating breakfast. My only slight complaint was that the induction hob was quite complicated to use by comparison with others, even with the instructions - but we had a lovely stay here.

We had a lovely few days at Oxbow Cottage. It was exactly what we were looking for. Check in logistics were simple and easy to follow. Upon arrival and getting unpacked we noticed the level of cleanliness was not up to standard. We had to clean the table, kitchen counters and all the cutlery and crockery before we used it. Looking closer even the dining chairs were very grubby, heaters dusty and the tv and some decorations in need of a deep clean. We would stay again and hope the cleaning shortfall is addressed.

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us, Stephen. We’re pleased that overall, you enjoyed staying at Oxbow Cottage and that you would like to stay again sometime. Following the recent report of some cobwebs, the owner has already picked up the cleanliness points with the housekeeping team and has arranged for a deep clean of the property and will continue to closely monitor things. We’re sorry that not everything was as expected on this occasion but do hope that you will consider staying again sometime soon

Cute cottage in idyllic location

Loved this cottage, great location and ideal with a dog who loved to run free
However the paddock stated being able to use was incorrect. This area is so overgrown and really does spoil it. Was incredibly disappointing having views almost taller than you are!
Cottage itself had everything you could wish for, clean and tidy.
Only downside was it was full of cobwebs! Clearly needs a good clean.

Thank you for the lovely review, Annette, also for your feedback which we have shared with the owner and housekeeper. The paddock below the cottage was due to be mowed and has been now. But the paddock above the cottage has access and was free to use throughout your stay. Overall, we're pleased you enjoyed the cottage and location, and found everything you needed for your stay. We hope to welcome you back again sometime.

Excellent stay
