Stonewell Cottage

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location we loved it!

Only issue we had was the cleanliness of the kitchen utensils and en-suite bathroom floor which needed a good scrub as feet got dirty coming out of shower ☹️ but none of this would put us off staying again, lovely property in a fantastic location.

Fabulous views from the cottage.

The property was clean, well maintained and comfortably furnished. Large bedrooms and lounge, with high ceilings which did not make the place claustrophobic. Oh! How about a Nespresso coffee machine please! We had a very nice relaxing time at Stonewell Cottage. Cheers!

We had a lovely time weather was great,location superb only a short walk from town centre.

We would like to come back

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

It is ideal for access to Stow on the Wold. We had a very relaxing stay and will definitely return m.

Highly recommend this property, the photos do not do it justice (the kitchen and living room furniture is also updated to that pictured).

The location is peaceful with beautiful views of the countryside (love the small undulating fields with retained hedgerows) yet less than a mile from town where you can find many places to eat. The property boundaries are secure for dogs, which meant we could relax when the dogs were enjoying the garden. We had a lovely time and it’s definitely somewhere we’d come back to.

The accommodation was great, very comfortable and also accessible for people with walking difficulties (except maybe for the gravelled slight slope to access the house after parking the car, not noticeable from the pictures nor mentioned in the description unless we missed it).

A bit cold on arrival, but easy to adapt heating if you need to. All instructions regarding equipments and information on the area received via the app and also printed in the house guest book were comprehensive and of great help. The place is so calm and the view fantastic, just a mile away from Stow on the Wold. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds.

Completely enclosed for dogs with peaceful patio to sit with them with amazing views. Situated on very quiet lane, so safe to walk dogs. Kitchen seriously well equipped with excellent pots, pans and plenty of crocks. Very comfy sofas and chairs in lounge. Cottage lovely and warm with hot water all day. Large fridge and freezer making self catering so much easier. My daughter and myself both had comfortable beds with spotlessly clean linens and towels. As you may be able to tell, we loved staying here and would definitely book again. Thank you to the owners and Sykes for the comprehensive instructions before the holiday and guides in the cottage.

We can’t help wanting to return to Stonewell Cottage.

Every aspect of staying here is just perfect. Beautiful location, beautiful accommodation, walking distance to Stow and other villages and so much to explore. We look forward to returning again soon

This accommodation is the most perfect location, very central and walking distance to Stow.

The village is just stunning. You have everything you need inside. This was our second stay and we wanted to book again whilst we was there but its fully booked for the dates we wanted. Hopefully we can come back again soon

This is our second stay in Stonewell Cottage and hopefully not our last!

We love the peaceful location and the uninterrupted view over the countryside. It is a pleasant 15 minute walk into the pretty town of Stow and there are many footpaths to explore. We appreciated how well equipped the cottage was- particularly the kitchen. We tend to do a lot of our own catering and it was perfect for us. The cottage is tastefully decorated, spacious, light and warm . Perfect for two couples or a couple and two friends. We enjoyed the log burning stove. There was plenty of parking space for 2 cars. Maps, playing cards and kindling wood were helpful extras as was the milk, biscuits and tea bags on arrival☺️ Communication was excellent and the beds were super comfy .

We really enjoyed our stay at Stonewell cottage.

I don’t think the photos actually do the cottage justice. It appears to have been updated since the photos were taken (new kitchen/ furniture). We visited in December and it was cold but the heating was pre set and generous and we were very warm. We visited with my 3 month old baby, two dogs and four adults and there was plenty of space and we all had a lovely time. Lovely walks from the property. Short walk into stow on the wold. Beautiful views over untouched country side and had the most beautiful sun rise and sun set. Kitchen well stocked and easy to self cater. Guide books very helpful. Perfect location for exploring surrounding area. Very peaceful location. Thoughtful touches such as torches charging around the house to use outside. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage last week.

Very well equipped and comfortable. I was disappointed that many pubs and restaurants in Stow were closed due to the Horse Fair. Whilst I understand the issues, I think I should have been warned that these facilities would not be open during my stay. The Fair did not reduce the enjoyment of our holiday though.

Excellent setting - splendid views!

Accommodation OK. Heating difficult to maintain at a suitable temperature. Traffic noise from nearby Fosse Way! Not sure about well in sitting room!

Location and walks were perfect.

The cottage is lovely.

Beautiful position- lovely walk to Stow - loved the patio and patio furniture- kitchen well equipped- chairs in lounge need replacing as uncomfortable but otherwise amazing stay - we were perplexed though as we had a gate into field in front of us and another gate to the side of us and were not sure if we could exercise our dog in either?

We would definitely return

Thank you for another lovely holiday at Stonewell.

We cannot fault our stay and thoroughly enjoy every aspect of this holiday. Accomodation perfect for us and so many wonderful walks from our doorstep. We look forward to returning

Wonderful location so close to Stow with beautiful surroundings.

The enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and the views stunning. Very enjoyable to sit out at the front in the sun. The gardeners planted some nice plants while we there. It’s well fitted out and a great base for touring the Cotswolds. Only criticism is the microwave wasn’t working and there was no DVD player as stated. Would highly recommend though.

Our 4th visit to Stonewell Cottage and we have never been disappointed.

We love the cottage, the views, plus the dog friendly accommodation with garden. Lovely quiet location with easy access to the wonderful villages and towns of the Cotswolds. We can’t wait to visit again.

We loved our stay and the location of the property, there are alot of very well thought out amenities.

The only small criticism is for a master bedroom a bigger bed (king) would be more appropriate. I wasn't comfortable the 1st night sleeping although I did get used to it. We still had a lovely time.

Another lovely stay at Stonewell Cottage, having stayed there last year as well and am sure we will be back.

The only point we would like to make is the access step as you enter the property. My husband is disabled so a small ramp would help but this is only a minor suggestion. We enjoy the area and the lovely view from the cottage and we were especially lucky with the weather this time.

If anything, the listing under sells the proximity to Stow (20 minutes walk) and lovely views across the fields/valley together with walks in several directions right from the door.

Cottage was warm, spacious and well equipped with a pretty much fully secure garden for the dog.

Lovely property and location.

Having some shower gel would’ve have been a nice extra as lots of other things provided which was a lovely. Main bathroom shower could do with changing as the water wasn’t coming out of all the holes. Outside was a great sun trap. Lovely to sit and have a cuppa in the morning. Overall we were really pleased with the property and would definitely recommend.

A beautiful cottage in a great location, within walking distance of Stow.

The cottage is spacious, very comfortable & dog friendly too. The guide in the property was very helpful. We enjoyed a visit to the Old Bakery & Tearoom in Stow. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Stonewell Cottage near Stow-on-the-Wold!

From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing getaway. The cosy yet spacious interior was the perfect retreat after days exploring the Cotswolds, and the well-equipped kitchen made self-catering a breeze. Our two dogs also had the best time—this is truly a dog-friendly stay! The secure garden gave us peace of mind, and the location was ideal for scenic walks right from the doorstep. We loved being just a short distance from Stow-on-the-Wold, with its charming pubs, cafes, and independent shops. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and have already decided to book again for next year. If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and dog-friendly cottage in the Cotswolds, Stonewell Cottage is a gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous Christmas at Stonewell Cottage.

The cottage was immaculate and very welcoming, including a beautiful Christmas tree. The wood burner was a perfect addition. An amazing location, beautiful walks and an incredible view. Our dog loved it so much he didn’t want to leave!

Very nice cottage, enjoyed immensly

Very good and clean property.

From the viewpoint of someone staying there it would have been a nice touch to have left a small welcome pack & with at least hand soaps provided in the bathrooms. As we stayed the last week in November & it was cold, it would also have been appreciated to have a wood supply for the wood burning stove with a log storage outside, as when you are visiting the area you don’t really want to be going out to buy logs! We felt that should really have all been provided, apart from enough to last one fire!

Inadequate heating, especially the timing thereof.

(Very cold weather!) 2 lights (bulbs?) did not work. Coat hooks behind kitchen door not secured. Feature well not appreciated (though we did know of its existence). Beautifully situated! A ‘summer’ cottage, not a ‘winter’ one.

Nice property although this time of year heating struggled to warm the lounge area with the open roof area.

Wood burner used but room filled with smoke on one day. But very comfortable and well equipec

Stonewell Cottage is in a great location, just 15 minutes walk from the lovely town of Stow on the Wold - which is great for evening meals and country shops.

We especially enjoyed eating at the Sheep pub. Other good things about the Cottage are that it's very quiet, has lovely field views, there's plenty of space and it is well equipped (although we didn't really cook). However 2 things to note - my friend had the main bedroom and found the mattress uncomfortable. I think that was mentioned in a previous review. Secondly there was only 2 days worth of wood left for the wood burner. When you are paying top rate for a cottage I think wood should be provided for the week, if needed. Overall it was an enjoyable week with easy access by car to all neighbouring towns and local Cotswolds attractions

We (Parents, son and daughter in law, had a lovely week at Stonewell.

Beautiful, no, stunning setting. Nice and quiet. Generous with heating and supplies. The windows could do with a clean inside and out, spoils the view a little. Other than that, everything was great. Would definitely stay again, probably for a fortnight next time to make the journey worth it.

The only minor problem was the main bedroom mattress was uncomfortable for us, it looked lumpy in the morning.

However this is our second visit and we will return

Property was extremely comfortable for 4 adults plus dog.

Location was superb and it was very relaxing stay. Only one minor detail, the walk up the drive is a little steep if one of you has a bit of a mobility issue.

Stonewell Barn is so beautiful as are the views.

The bed is super-comfortable too. The sofas are a little tired but not too bad. Location is ideal - 15 minutes walk into Stow-on-the-Wold and 10 minutes drive into Bourton-on-the-Water. We loved it so much that we have booked it next year.

We loved our stay.

Location and cottage are beautiful. We thought the garden would be dog friendly as stated enclosed garden but dogs can get out. Cottage was lovely although lots of cobwebs. There was also black mold in the small window in the bathroom that needs attention. But would stay again.

The property is absolutely beautiful throughout and in such peaceful surroundings.

There is just one thing that I would change and that is the seating in the lounge. We felt that this was the only thing we would replace as we felt that it was rather old and worn. Otherwise we could not fault a thing. The bathrooms, bedrooms, the kitchen and the decor were all lovely. We felt so relaxed and “at home” Highly recommended !!! Irene & Amy

Wonderful property that we describe as our Happy Place.

Out third visit did not disappoint. Situated, facilities,pet safety all just as we need. Peace and tranquillity.

Absolutely stunning views from a stunning cottage, first class all round.

Beautiful location with lovely walks.

Perfect to explore the Cotswolds.

Stonewell Cottage was the perfect retreat.

It was exactly as described and the owners seemed to have thought of everything, including plenty of sockets (sadly lacking in some properties)…….. The only suggestion we would make would be more mugs and plates, otherwise there was everything you needed. We had our dog with us and the surrounding area was perfect for her too. Overall an excellent property (and amazing views)

The barn was perfect for us as you literally could walk the dogs from the door.

We would happily recommend it to anyone. We walked to Stow each morning and had a relaxing time not using the car too often. The kitchen was ideal and had everything that we needed.

The property was great, the views were lovely.

The well was a cool addition, albeit quite creepy. Quite a few cobwebs in the bedroom. The only big negative of the property was not being able to control our own heating. We have a baby and it was very cold in the evenings so we ended up having to have the baby in bed with us as it was too cold for him to be in another room on his own. The set timings for the heating were also a bit daft as a lot of them werent needed as we were not in the house at the time it was being heated. We would have rather it be heated in the evening so we all could have had a better, warm, nights sleep. New mattresses are needed as the main bed dips in the middle.

A fabulous stay in a wonderful cottage.

Very clean and comfortable and ideally for a family of 4. Fantastic facilities and location.

Lovely staycation for us and our 4 year old and 3 month old.

We just spent 5 nights at this holiday cottage and had a lovely time.

The cottage is cosy and spacious and the views are incredible. We used the woodburner daily which kept us nice and toasty and the bed was SO comfy! The walk to Stow is very quick through a little short cut and there are lovely walks to be found directly from the cottage. It was the perfect base for us to go and explore further afield too as it was a short drive to everything. The only negative was that the ensuite shower didn't seem to get hot enough so the showers were very... refreshing! We would still highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a Cotswold stay and we would definitely stay here again.

Had an absolutely amazing time.

First time at Stonewell as we used to stay at Daisybank. Stonewell exceeded our expectations and can't wait to visit again October 2024. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage.

Stonewell Cottage is simply stunning!

The cottage is beautifully presented and the Well in the lounge floor was a lovely feature. The location is great as it’s only a 10 minute stroll into Stow and it’s a great jump off point for the rest of the Cotswolds. The view from the cottage is breathtaking and as it’s on a no-through road, it was very peaceful. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely setting, quiet, easy walk into Stow for shops and places to eat.

Very dog friendly shops and pubs. Recommend The Sheep for food and friendly staff.

Fabulous property.

Very well equipped - you will want for nothing here - and super clean, with large fluffy towels and comfy beds. Lovely position,very quiet, with beautiful views across the valley. Within easy reach of all the tourist attractions. Stow is lovely for a look around, and Sudeley Castle is well worth a visit. A cottage we are sure to return to. Thank you.

We came for my wife’s 30th birthday and she always wanted to come to the Cotswolds.

We came with 2 friends, our dog and their dog. We had a really lovely time. The cottage was stunning and the views were picturesque! The cottage was comfortable, clean and spacey. The rooms were a great size and the beds were to die for! Kitchen has been refurbed which isn’t shown in the pictures which was a pleasant surprise. The garden area was big and all enclosed so the pups couldn’t escape which was nice. The only criticism we would have as a group is that the shower in the main bathroom is poor. The water was cold and the water flow was very slow so it was hard work to have a shower in there and someone couldn’t be in the en-suite shower whilst the main bathroom shower was on as both showers would then work poorly. I think to pay that sort of money to stay for a weekend, a nice warm shower should be a given really. But genuinely, we loved the cottage and we would definitely stay here again and recommend to anybody, just the shower needs abit of seeing to I think.

Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed staying at Stonewell Cottage.

We all appreciated the cottage being clean, the beds were comfortable, the settees comfortable and the kitchen well appointed.

Stonewell was perfect in every way, cleanliness, equipment and position.

15 minutes walk from Stow and centre for the rest of the Cotswolds. It was equipped to a high standard and obviously the owner had taken care with its Equipment. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone

Turned up to this beautiful cottage in an amazing part of the country with stunning views.

The cottage was just how it was portrayed in the listings and in some cases better. Excellent layout and everything provided to make the stay very comfortable and appealing. Quiet surroundings but in easy walking distance to Stow. We will be back to stay in this cottage.

Initially property looked ok but then found fingernails in the bed, dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere, leftover food all around the kitchen and sides, other peoples dirty bottles, cobwebs and dust balls all over, dog bones under the couch, earrings, an infestation of bugs and eggs in the en-suite that we had to wash away daily.

We spent the first 3 hours of our day cleaning with 2 young children on our hands and knees as the mop provided was broken. I got 2 bites from sitting on the sofa so spent the rest of the holiday sat on a wooden dining chair when we were there. For a 5 tick rating property we less than happy so contacted the owners who offered an insulting amount of money back but then upped it to 10% which is the only reason we’re giving a single star. Such a shame because the property could be lovely with a proper clean coupled with the quietness and amazing views. As for staying here again, for us, it’s no.

The pretty property was extremely well equipped, perfectly located with stunning views of the countryside.

The area was very peaceful with no through traffic. The beds were extremely comfortable which were appreciated. A very short walk into Stow on the Wold, a pretty market town full of shops and restaurants. All you could want for a break away.

On first impressions I’d have given cleanliness a score of 4, but when you looked closer there was that much fluff and dirt, hence the score of 2.

The coffee table clearly hadn’t been dusted for some time and there was lots of fluff and dirt in the bedrooms and lounge. Really disappointing as all that was needed was a good brush or mop given it was wooden floors/tiles throughout.

We did have the opportunity to speak to the owner on one of the days but if we had to be picky the kitchen could be better organised for food as there were lots of crockery and not enough space for food not that many cupboards far too many pots and pans too many beer mugs and not enough drinking glasses could have done with a small vegetable knife or a tomato serrated one the beds were super comfortable and bed linen and towels of good quality it was very very quiet a short drive to Stow on the Wold but to far to walk unless you are a walker plenty of restaurants and coffee shops and nearby Bourton-on-the-Water -was a lovely visit also Broadway

Delightful cottage a short walk away from Stow-on-the-Wold - perhaps 20 minutes up a country lane.

Great for surrounding hills and walks. Good enclosure for dogs.

We had a lovely family holiday including our dogs.

The house is lovely and had everything we required including milk and cookies when we arrived. It is situated in a lovely village and close to many activities in the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this cottage for a stay in the Cotswolds.
