“The cottage has everything two people and a dog need.”

Having a secure garden and being in a quiet courtyard with private parking in the centre of Stow is perfect. Clean and comfortable. Tried turning the storage heater down but still red hot so turned it off and used the log burner - easy to light following the instructions. There were no instructions re putting the rubbish bin out and it was getting pretty full - but nobody else seemed to have put a bin out so hopefully we didn't miss it. It was an extremely muddy week and I hope we managed to ...

“Fabulous cottage in a great location.”

Everything you need

- Mr Charles, November 2019
“Excellent cottage in very good location , would go again.”

- Mr Price, September 2019
“Amazing cottage, great value.”

Great position to explore.

- Ms Read, September 2019
“What a lovely cottage, very clean and tidy, ideal location in Stow centre, but a quiet location with a lovely enclosed garden.”

Parking just outside the cottage was great. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would not hesitate to return again. Our week here was perfect and even the weather was too. We loved our time here and so did our dogs.....thank you.

- Mr Robinson, September 2018
“Property had been well designed providing everything a couple would require (plus their dog) for a few days stay in Stow.”

It was very clean and easy to use. Details of how to use items was also provided if anyone needed to check details. A small garden big enough to sit in should the weather allow was also appreciated. Provision of safe on site parking was a bonus and the actual location of the cottage was ideal for walking in and around the town.

- Mrs Frank, September 2018
“Loved it as it was!”

- Mr McGarvey,
“Stow on the Wold was an ideal location for visiting other villages - we also used public transport from Stow.”

The cottage was ideal - well equipped, great location

“Excellent location, well equipped.”

- Mrs Johnson,
“Lovely facilities, great location Ã¢Â€Â“ did not realise that it was a mezzanine style cottage, which meant it was difficult to watch TV with our young child asleep upstairs.”

- Mr Newman,
“Beautiful cottage had a great stay!”

Would recommend to friends and love to come back again. Our favourites are Stow and Bourton-on-the-Water, great places to visit. Thank you.\ \

- Pete & Karen,
“Here were a few little issues but other than that a great stay!”

Thank you. These were no outside light in the courtyard, the fire smokes a bit and the wood wasn't seasoned so couldn't sustain a fire, internet not wireless, cable only. All in all a good stay, however.

- Mrs B,
“Cottage well prepared, nicely furnished and owner attentive to our welfare(with welcoming wine/chocolates & card & midweek/departure e-mails).”

Cottage very well situated to take advantage of the town & local area.

- Mr Crowder,
“Great central position, warm and comfortable”

- Mr Hodgson,
“We had a very enjoyable stay in this lovely comfortable and cosy cottage.”

Weather has been warm and sunny all week and we have enjoyed some nice country walks. We couldn't have been in a better place to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary.\ Thank you for the nice wine and chocs, hope to stay again.\ \ \

- Donna, Rick & Teddy (Bichen Frise),
“It's a lovely cottage and the wood burning stove is a very welcome addition.”

Perfect base for walking - which is what we are here for.\ \

- Vivienne & Alex,
“Had a lovely stay at the Old Forge for our first visit to the Cotswolds.”

Lots of bike rides and walks around the area kept us entertained despite the weather. Lovely cottage, homely and warm, will hopefully return for another visit next year. Had a really good meal at the Bell (chocolate fondu is highly recommended) as well as a great burger at the White Hart and Paella at Kings Arms. Thanks for helping us have a fab holiday.\ \ \

- Holly & Alex,
“A lovely cosy cottage, that was just fab for a short break.”

Loved the open fire. The mezzanine bedroom was not a problem and just added to the character of the place.

- Mrs Zebaida,
“Very comfortable time at The Old Forge Cottage for our 3rd visit to the Cotswolds.”

The honey coloured cottages in the many surrounding villages are truly picturesque. Broadway, Bourton, chipping Norton/Campden are the jewel. Stow such a pleasure to visit. The rainy day spent any Gaydon Motor Heritage Museum was enjoyable. Need time now to work off all the cakes and scones. Cottage had everything we needed for a weeks relaxing time. Wi-Fi great. Thanks Patrick for your attention.\ \

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.
