Pike Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at Pike Cottage and already looked to book again before we left.

It has everything you need, great location and lots of quirky decorations and such a lovely touch.

Very cute cottage.

Great location. It’s very tiny in height- but makes it fun. The main bathroom is only a bathtub. So that’s worth noting. Overall a fun stay for our family.

The property was lovely and cute.

A very transitional cottage with lovely beamed ceilings. Sadly the shower in the en-suite did not work at all. It was not fixed despite alerting them to the issue. It was also very hot in the property , the first floor rooms needed fans.

Lovely cottage in a great location near to all amenities A welcome pack was provided with washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets a tea towel and other essentials plus some milk and orange juice were in the fridge which was very nice but it would have been helpful if that was stated as we brought all these things with with us Overall we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend Pike Cottage

Lovely cottage with prime location.

Great place from which to explore the Cotswolds.

We had a great weekend - everything was a stated and the location was brilliant.

Only (very minor) downside was the low ceilings for the taller member of our group - not really an issue.

Everything was perfect, including the solving of a minor problem with a bathroom.

What an absolutely marvellous cottage.

Very very quaint but homely. If we are ever in the vicinity again, we will be trying to stay here again. Many restaurants, pubs and shops on your doorstep. Such a lovely stay, we didn’t want to leave.

Thank you for your valued feedback.

We're so pleased you enjoyed the cottage’s charm, location, and amenities. Your comments help us continue improving the experience for future guests. Best wishes Manor Cottages

Lovely little house in a good location.

Visitors should be aware that one of the upstairs bedrooms does have a shower, but no toilet, and that one of the bedrooms (the one with two singles) is a mezzanine type room above the master bedroom (with no door between them). Good for kids; not great for privacy.

The beds were not very comfortable.

With that said, the location could not have been more perfect. The village of Stow on the Wold is right out of the 1700s and absolutely beautiful. Walking the Monarch’s Way was a great way to start each day. The people were amazingly friendly and one resident even invited us in for tea!

Pike Cottage is in a great location however the layout of the bedrooms is not made clear.

Luckily we were all family so we coped but in other circumstances the sleeping arrangements would have become difficult. Also, the small single bed was broken. This meant our Daughter had very little sleep. The cleanliness of the cottage was very poor. The beds and towels were clean but the carpets were stained and the bathrooms and kitchen were not as clean as you would expect them to be.

Idyllic cottage what a fantastic little place!

great location ! We’ve loved staying & recommended to others.

We had major issues with the hot water and the heating did not work.

We were very disappointed with the accommodation. However, the situation with the water/heating was managed very well by the local staff on call. Many thanks to Lisa, Stuart and the team.

A very enjoyable stay.

...Infact our 3rd visit to Stow but 1st to Pike Cottage which is a lovely old house in a great location to explore Stow by foot and surrounding area. Very comfortable place but the parking is a problem. It's clearly stated that it's on street parking but due to Stows popularity we found it virtually impossible (September) to park anywhere close to the house at all and most times I'd drop my wife and invariably park up the top end of the Town . Loved the quirky character and charm of Pike Cottage and the fact there's Netflix and Amazon Prime but found the kitchen lacked a few key utensils when we cooked in the house eg: spatula to cook in frying pan. We slept in the main bedroom with ensuite and was very comfortable bed plus loved the fact there was a bath in ensuite too. Lovely characterful dining room oozing charm and all in all a lovely house. We were also fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the garden as had lovely warm sunny weather too

The cottage location is excellent, just a few minutes walk to the shops in Stow.

The cottage is full of character and a lovely place to stay, we were there for a girly weekend and it was perfect, the kitchen particularly was great as it had plenty of space for us all to sit down. Only minor criticisms: (1) the welcome book says not to touch the heating, but we had to turn it off as it was BOILING. Set to 20 degrees all night so we were roasting, it was easy enough to turn it off on the controls but would have been better for it to be set to a more normal temperature! (2) tidying up instructions were unclear, they referenced putting bedding into bags provided but we couldn’t find these. Not sure if they were old/outdated instructions as they referenced Covid a lot too. (3) very little was provided in terms of bin bags, loo roll and basic cleaning products. The biscuits and crisps were a nice touch, but some basics would have been more useful. All very minor things though and I would stay again.

Lovely warm cottage, great location, nice welcome biscuits etc.

, everything provided, highly recommended, thank you.

Absolutely loved the cottage, we had a great time, thank you.

Only feedback if pushed was the blinds in the top floor bedroom weren't the easiest. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch and really appreciated the milk and biscuits. So central, we couldn't have asked for better.

The property was wonderful in itself.

We had a really lovely weekend. Our only gripe was that it was hard to find. It would be helpful if the instructions were a little higher up the email. They are right at the bottom of the key collection email and the postcode doesnt lead you anywhere close to the property!

Lovely cottage, well equipped and walking distance to everything that Stow has to offer

The cottage is beautiful and well located in village, we had a few issues.

The en-suite bathroom toilet didn’t flush properly, the shower in the main bathroom was very temperamental, there was a leak in the dining room from the skylight. I would really suggest changing the carpet on the stairs from the top bedroom, on Monday morning I slipped on the stairs hit my right knee and crashed into radiator at bottom hitting my head. So our first day was a right off as I was battered and bruised.

Pike Cottage was a charming, historic cottage.

The decor was lovely and the cottage was very clean. We loved staying there. My husband left his wallet when we checked out and the agency was able to get it to him at our next place of stay. Not a thing was missing. Hope to stay here again next year.

We spend a very good time in this country and in the cottage.

Every one was enjoy by your property Just a little problem with the clean machine…

We had the absolute BEST stay at Pike Cottage.

It was truly like waking up in a dream world. The Cotswolds have all the charm and Pike Cottage just accentuated it. We couldn’t decide whether to go out or stay in! Thank you for a lovely holiday!

We loved this quirky cottage but there was a major disappointment with the bathrooms.

The second floor only has a shower and handbasin which means if you are not young (like us) you had to go down steep and narrow stairs to spend a penny during the night! Madness not to have installed toilet and handbasin as there is a shower on first floor. This was not clear in the description. Also although there were instructions to put linen from beds in clear bags there were no clear or black bags provided!

We spent a very enjoyable week over Christmas at Pike Cottage which we found charming, well maintained and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay.

To our delight, the owners had supplied a decorated Christmas tree and a delicious panettone. Many thanks for sharing your historic property with us. Cheers Jenny, Kevin, Sylwia and Trent.

This cottage was well placed for ameinites although on a very busy road.

The lounge was "quirky" and although rather dark it was ok for watching a few tv programs. The property had been well cleaned before our arrival but as we where probably the last let of the season the carpets needed cleaned. They were in a bad way, the lounge, stairs and bathroom floors did not look the least bit hygenic and none of us walked on them in our bare feet.The kitchen was well equiped and everything was clean and in working order. We found our bed (first floor) comfortable but small and the ensuite needs a bit of work done on it but as I said it is the end of the summer season and the owners will probably freshen it up for next season.I trust the owners will accept these comments as fair comment but I do have plenty photos to back up my honest opinions.

This was a cottage straight out of a fairy tale!

Right in the middle of a magical village (Stow). Small but spacious at the same time. Very well equipped with all the necessary conforta. Beds were very comfortable. If you are looking for some magical time, family time or just some relax time by yourself, this is the place to stay. Hopefully we will be back soon! Thanks!

Oh my goodness, from the moment you walk through the gate to the property it feels like you are transported back in time, in a magical way, not a bad way.

I cannot rate this property highly enough, it was clean very comfortable and just a pure delight to stay in with all the cubby holes and wonky rooms it has character by the bucket load. I am quite tall so had to bend my head to some rooms, but it was not a drama. The kitchen is well stocked, the bathrooms are fabulously quirky, the shower in one is not very powerful, I have long hair and had to give up, however this may have been more user error than an actual issue. I would love to stay here again and would highly recommend the property. Thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Lovely little cottage, well equipped and comfortable.

Probably not ideal for tall people! Very good company to deal with.

The house was full of character and very well catered for.

There was everything you could possibly need for your weekend. My bed was pretty comfortable, but the people who slept in the twin room on the first floor complained about how uncomfortable the beds were. The mattresses we really bad when I looked at them. I work in a bed shop and they were in a very bad condition to be honest. They are even acceptable for a light child as you could feel the springs. It was also a bit disappointing that there didn't seem to be a way to separate the recycling in the house and outside too. These were the only areas which I think could be improved. Otherwise it was a great stay and we all enjoyed ourselves. Thanks very much.

Lovely, cozy cottage, very comfortable and warm.

A lovely, quirky, spacious and cosy cottage.

We particularly enjoyed the log burner as the nights were darker and colder. There was a problem of no logs in the basket when we arrived but this was quickly sorted after a phone call. The large kitchen was a great place for all of us to gather round the table for breakfast ….and for the evening meal when we didn’t eat out. There is a more formal dining room but we preferred the kitchen. The double beds were very comfortable. The twin beds were a little short for our two adult sons who found their feet handing off the end. The bed in the single room was rather squeaky! We all managed to find parking spaces near to the Cottage which was good. The sitting room had comfortable seating which was lovely when relaxing in the evening ..watching TV or playing games. The location of the cottage is very convenient for walking into Stow or for visiting a number of nearby places by car …we went to Bourton on the Water , Sudeley Castle and Daylesford Organic Farm . We all really enjoyed our short break in the Cotswolds.

I think it would be a good idea to have mattress protectors on the beds.

We used 2 of the bedrooms where we were there and neither of them had them on.

The shower in the top bedroom was great, the other 2 in the bathrooms were not.

More like mist. This did not affect our stay, we all used the top floor shower.

We have 5 days 4 nights with our.

80 year old parents - we had everything we needed on our doorstep. The cottage was amazingly quirky, comfy, clean and far exceeded our expectations. We had a thoroughly great break, especially with all the current restrictions and doomy gloomy - it was a breath of fresh air. The local people were very welcoming and appreciated all your custom. We will be returning and trying new places to BUT we will be using this company to do so - amazing- thankyou

Fantastic period cottage in the heart of the village.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pike Cottage.

It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed to make our stay, as 2 couples, very comfortable. The amenities in Stow on the Wold were all so handy from the cottage and we found parking outside the cottage door every time with no problem at all.

On the positive side, the location is grand.

..Right downtown so walking around Stowe was very enjoyable. The little court yard area just inside the gate was filthy! There certainly had not had a gardener there in ages. The toilet upstairs off the main bedroom was impossible! You never could depend on it flushing properly. It would be nice to know how old the cottage is. It must be hundreds of years old. Quaint, but not all that comfortable. Very musty.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage.

The location was perfect and the cottage was cosy and adorable, perfect for a weekend away with the girls.

We had a fantastic four nights in this beautiful cottage.

It is perfectly located in the picture postcard town of Stow-on-the-Wold, with a number of pubs, cafe's and shops right on the doorstep. There are also some lovely walks which start from the town and meander through villages, countryside and woodland. It's also a short car journey to Bourton-on-the-Water and the Cotswold Wildlife Park; both well worth a visit. The pictures don't really do justice to just how pretty and homely the cottage is. We loved sitting around the farmhouse kitchen table for our big family dinners and a glass of wine (or two!). We were very pleased to find some milk in the fridge and a few teabags on our arrival. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are relatively spacious for a cottage. The stairs are not too steep so generally suitable for young children and elderly. The garden has a big heavy gate so we weren't particularly worried about our youngster getting out onto the main road. At our request, a standard push down travel cot was provided. *Bring your own travel cot mattress if you have one as, like all travel cots, the base is quite hard.* Also provided was an IKEA high chair; perfect for any age feeding baby. Just a few things to be aware of: Parking is on the road outside. It's free but there are limited spaces. We had three cars but didn't have any problems parking over the week. The ceilings are very low, especially in the kitchen. My husband is 6ft 5in which meant a bit of neck ache for him. There really isn't much of a garden, and what there is doesn't get any direct sunlight. The shower (over the bath) on the first floor family bathroom was a little tricky to get the right temperature. We had to make sure the Hive was on and the temperature setting on the shower was at a certain point. Maybe some clearer instructions would be helpful. The single bedroom does get noise from passing traffic because a main road runs right past the cottage. However, it's an acceptable level of noise considering it is located in the centre of town.

It's worth highlighting how low the ceilings are as this can significantly affect a tall individual/group from enjoying the cottage.

The cottage is also a little difficult to navigate for elderly people who find it difficult to walk or manoeuvre around anything but the most straightforward dwellings. There was also a vague smell of damp in the cottage, but it wasn't off-putting. On the plus side, the cottage feels homely, is well stocked and has good facilities, although the shower on the top floor is a little awkward to enter in and out of. The welcome crisps and caramels were a nice touch. The cottage is well located with respect to the village, and parking although not private, didn't cause us any problem.

Great place and great location.

You can easily walk to all amenities in STOW ON THE WOLD and although it is on the main high street it still felt very private. Only small downside is the garden is a small patio that doesn't get any direct sunlight. Also the place could have been cleaned better as it was quite dusty and the place its self is quite dark but you can usually expect that from cottages.

The shower on the first floor didn't produce warm water this needs to be fixed since we share one shower between 8 people.

Other than that the house was very clean and cute and in an amazing location.

A wonderful character cottage, that left us not wanting to leave.

....highly recommend this place

We had a fab time, in a beautiful cottage set in a very central location.

Was great for a girly weekend away

Perfect location, lovely weekend away.

Excellent location, Plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms and 1 shower - so no queuing to use facilities

The cottage was very lovely, just a few touches that could be made to make our stay better.
