My two friends and I stayed for one week at Benfield Cottage. It is a charming, well located, well equipped cottage with a lovely conservatory room that brings much-needed light into the interior--brilliant addition. It is located on a very busy street in Stow, but once inside, you are not aware of the traffic that passes by. The cottage is equipped with every convenience needed and is quite comfortable and cozy. I cannot understand why the descriptions of this cottage list it as a three bedroom. It definitely has four bedrooms--two on the second floor (one double bed, one with twin beds) with one bath and two double-bedded rooms on the third floor with a bath/shower. Not mentioned in the list of amenities, but welcomed by my group were a washer/dryer combo in a small utility room off of the kitchen that also contained a small first floor bathroom and two hairdryers that were located in the bedrooms. We did not lack for anything during our stay at this adorable cottage!

“True English Cottage Experience , we loved staying in this cottage with everything to cosy beds and crooked floors.”

well equipped with everything you need, very comfortable and in the Main Street. Parking was a little difficult with a big car, okay early morning or late afternoon to get a spot. Overall excellent!

“An absolute gem of a place in the stunning Stow-on-the-Wold.”

Stayed at Benfield with my family to celebrate my Father's birthday and we couldn't have been more delighted with the quirkiness, shabby chic decor & comfortable beds at the cottage. The Aga, the log fire burner in the lounge, the bright conservatory and the gorgeous bedrooms - basically we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved exploring the area too - so many pubs! Ventured to The Wild Rabbit for lunch in Kingham (10 mins drive away) and had a mosey round the stunning Daylesford Farm Shop. Definitely worth a visit!

“Excellent Cottage in the Perfect Location!”

We rented this cottage through Manor Cottages and spent New Year’s Eve week here. It was wonderful. There was initially a problem with the Aga which they informed us about before we arrived and although not repaired, they brought us a temporary solution and gave us a partial refund. It was wonderful to work with such a great rental company. The cottage was lovely and ver character filled. We especially loved the small conservatory and fought over laying to read on the daybed in there. We couldn’t have had a better New Year’s week! Thank you.

“Just what we were looking for in the Cotswold's.”

.. perfect location in Stow. Clean and comfortable. The only problem was the oven which I'm sure will be addressed. THANK YOU.

“We loved the location and the cottage was exactly right for our holiday.”

It didn’t disappoint. We will be booking a manor cottage next year for our late Autumn break.

“Fantastic place for staying in the heart of the Cotswolds.”

With a car there are many things/places to see within 30mins drive. Stow is a beautiful small town, with plenty of shops (particularly for food) within 5 minutes' walk. Lovely, very old house (mind your head!). Aga stove for cooking and nice dining area. The kitchen is extremely well setup with loads of cooking pots and utensils (and, unusually, a really good set of cooking knives). Very cosy and decent-sized lounge, with stove burner in the fireplace. The hosts were very friendly and helpful in the lead-up to staying there, and everything was immaculate when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this place and these hosts.\ via airbnb, Stephen, October 2016

“My family and I recently stayed at the beautiful Benfield.”

The pictures online really don't do this fabulous property justice. It was super warm and cosy and immaculately presented. \ It had everything you could want and need and all of the rooms, especially the kitchen, were extremely well equipped. We even managed to grapple with the aga!\ We'd highly recommend, the perfect family getaway in a stunning location - we'll definitely be going back.\
Ms Cabal

“This cottage is beautifully furnished.”

It's so cool and cozy, it's almost beyond description. The living room reminded us all of the Gryffindor Common Room from Harry Potter, warm and inviting.
Miss James

“Beautiful cottage and village!”
Charlotte

“Cosy cottage in a great location in the centre of a market town in the Cotswolds.”

Everything was there that we could of needed a definite home from home with more than enough space for all of us. Great base for exploring the Cotswolds. We all had a great time and would definitely visit again! \ Charlotte, September 2016

“Great, cozy, cottage the heart of the Cotswolds.”

Rented for a Christmas with the extended family and Benfield did not disappoint! Right on Sheep Street, within easy walking distance of all that Stow has to offer, the cottage was as described. Can't wait for our next visit!â€
“Just to say we LOVED your house!”

It was so cosy and homely, with lots of lovely details. It lived up to the photos and was so clean. We would love to return next year at some point

The property

Set in the heart of Stow on the Wold, Benfield is a charming Cotswolds cottage.

Bedecked with Virginia Creeper, Benfield is a beautiful period townhouse which offers spacious accommodation spread across three (wonky!) floors, where the owner has created a stylish holiday home yet ensured that all the classic Cotswolds 19th Century features are retained, making it a truly attractive place to stay.

A large open fire, an Aga, beams, flagstone floors, oak beam all create a cosy feel, while modern facilities, luxury beds and bathrooms ensure that this offers high quality self catering accommodation.

An enclosed courtyard sits in the middle of the building, bringing light to the kitchen and diner - heavenly!

The ground floor is open plan with all rooms interconnecting while upstairs are four beautiful, luxury bedrooms, almost French in style with two bathrooms.

Impossibly cute and homely, we fell in love with this cottage when we visited - and with everything in Stow no more than a stroll away, you really can park the car and not use it again until you leave!

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.
