  • "Lovely cottage let down by a few things."

    Log stove wouldn’t draw, very disappointing & others seem to have had same problem. Kitchen pans very battered. No instruction booklets or leaving info. Downstairs en-suite, top light has no switch? How to turn on? In 2 showers, mixer tap wouldn’t operate handheld shower head. A small milk jug would be useful.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Bell Garden. I'm sorry to hear you had a few issues during your stay, did you get in touch with the Owner to address these while you stayed?. I have passed on your comments to the Owner so she can look into this for you. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely time at Bell Cottage, the photos don't do the property justice."

    It's far nicer when you're there. The location was perfect for us, the facilities at the property were excellent. There were 8 of us staying at Bell Cottage so it was quite busy in the morning with all of us getting ready. I had a shower at 9am and there was no hot water which wasn't great. Check in at 4pm doesn't leave a lot of the day to enjoy the property but we made ourselves busy in the town, however we all felt that a 10am check out is a bit mean, it means you can't end your break in a relaxed way. 8 of us seated at a table for breakfast and having to get showered and packed and out for 10am is a rush . We can't fault the property but feel that the check out should be midday to allow a stress free end to an enjoyable break. Kind regards Mr L Ashby

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Bell Garden. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your gathering at the cottage. We will pass on your feedback to the Owner for review, but the reason for the check-in/out times is because our Housekeepers have to fit in more than one holiday cottage in per day and to enable us to reach high standards we don't rush them. We hope you still had a lovely holiday with us and we would love to welcome you back again. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "We loved the property and it was perfect for our needs."

    The following are simply things that you might wish to consider in order to make future guests even more comfortable: - the Internet in back bedroom (the one that has been converted from the garage) is non existent. Difficult as a visitor from overseas - I churned through my roaming data. Maybe consider a booster? By the way, I did not find this room cold at all, as some previous reviews have mentioned. - we needed to leave a day early for family reasons and therefore received the departure instructions after we left. We looked everywhere in the house for them, as I like to leave properties exactly as the owner wishes, but there was very little information. As a result we were not able to strip the beds as requested. Perhaps consider leaving departure info in the house or providing it on arrival. - I couldn’t get the wood burner to draw (and I live in a house where my only heating is a wood burner, so I’m pretty experienced!). It smokes badly when you open the door. I wonder if the chimney could do with a clean? Either way, some instructions would be useful - there are a lot of vents and, even with my experience, it was complicated.

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Bell Garden. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for your feedback, we will pass on your comments to the Owner for review. We hope to welcome you back again very soon.

    The house was so clean and welcoming, the flowers, milk and Prosecco were very much appreciated- thank you! It is in ideal location to explore villages in the Cotswolds and it is only a 5 minute walk into Stow on the Wold where we had wonderful food in 'The Porch House' and 'The Sheep' We would highly recommend this house, we have been back home 3 days have already booked the house for next year! We had a slight problem with hot water but Sykes Company and the owner were so efficient and the owner came on the same morning has the problem was reported and all was resolved. There is a little problem with the shower taps, as soon as your hands are wet no one in the family could turn the taps off or on in any of the showers, they are so slippery, without getting the aid of a towel.

    .. highly recommend a trip Broadway, Bourton on the water (first thing before the coaches arrive), plus a trip to Daylesford Organic is a must!!!! Plenty of places for dinner in S-o-t-W, all within walking distance of the house. I would ask the owners to get a bowl for the kitchen sink, as it would make washing up a lot easier and us less water!!!

  • "We have just returned from a lovely family week here with our grown up children."

    Excellent location, great for local walks direct from the property, 50m from the Bell pub itself, and only 100m from other pubs, restaurants and the busy centre of Stow. Two of our children arrived by train which was easy as Moreton in Marsh station is just 15mins away with a regular service from London. The house itself was very comfortable and well equipped, clean with good showers and plumbing throughout. There was a comfortable lounge / dining space for 8 adults. The back patio had a good quality gas BBQ and seating, but was close to a busy road so quite noisy at times with traffic. The house was well sound-proofed, however, so inside the property was fine. The bedrooms all had comfortable beds. The properly was enclosed and gated, which was great for our dog (although he did manage to escape through the hedge once… ), but certainly very safe for children. We had a great stay and would love to return.

    We are pleased you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the location, close to the centre of the popular town of Stow. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

    Felt homely and comfortable. Lots of room in the house. Garden was good for the children. A couple of items. The windows were extremely dirty, both inside and out. They obviously hadn’t had a clean for a long time. Windows with secondary double glazing were particularly dirty. Lots of bird muck around the garden which would have benefited from a good sweep. Two sun beds for use in the garden were broken.

  • "The house is situated in a delightful setting in Stow, very easily accessible by car and perfectly situated for getting around to explore the town, shops and pubs on foot."

    The house is well presented and we stayed over the festive period and I was worried about cooking Christmas dinner for the whole family with limited kitchen accessories and equipment but this was not the case at all, there were many pots, pans and baking equipment it was easier here than at home! One let down of the house is the dining arrangement, the chairs are oversized and seat 6 adults snuggly, we had a family member visit for the day and although it’s an eight sleeper house getting 8 chairs around the table in the space in the house would be rather uncomfortable. All the bedrooms has plenty of storage and were comfortable to sleep in but watch your head in the eaves of the two upstairs rooms! The second bedroom downstairs which feels like a garage conversion was always cold even with the radiator turned up. Again the bathrooms were a good size with good towels and the showers were nice with lots of hot water. Remember to bring your own toilet roll though as we were left with four rolls for 6 adults for a week. One minor tweak is that the larger downstairs shower could have a rail added to make is more accessible for those with mobility issues, one of our guests struggles with mobility and felt uncomfortable using the shower without a rail. The house was generally well presented and clean, however when we arrived the cleaning team were still working hard but a few areas could have been swept better, there were some sweets under the sofa and confetti left in the dining chairs but these were small things. We did thoroughly enjoy our stay and would recommend this house and the pub across the road!

    We had a fantastic stay in a beautiful house but there were a few issues. The downstairs toilet had no hot water, in general the house was cold even when the heating was on it was chilly and 2 bathrooms had no heat from the radiators but the kitchen accessories was the most disappointing. 4 champagne flutes for a house that sleeps 8!!. We eat in when we visit and there is a lack of equipment, no serving platters, dishes for veg, serving spoons etc. we put nibbles out and then had to wash bowls before we could eat dessert. We took photos of the baking sheets that had the top layer of Teflon literally flaking off, the frying pans have lost their non stick surface. The kitchen accessories desperately need changing and upgrading, we went out and bought 2 platters for ourselves which we felt was poor for a house of this standard and price range. Feedback from yourselves as to whether anything will be upgraded would be appreciated as we would dearly love to return next year.

    Thank you for providing us with your feedback. It's great to hear that you overall enjoyed your stay, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to the property any time in the future. We can only apologise for the issues you encountered during your stay and appreciate your suggestions for improvement.

French doors in the sitting room lead out to the polished and well-maintained garden, which wraps around the property and has a manicured lawn area, inviting shrubs and seasoned trees that create a welcoming solace.

The south facing patio area to the front of the property houses a bistro table hosting two guests for added privacy for couples and the second lawn area to the rear of the property rests alongside a sweet rockery.

Moving back into the property and into the kitchen, you can cook up a storm in the well-equipped and tastefully decorated room.

A handy utility room sits next to the kitchen and gives access to the garden and a second door leads you down two steps and into the shower room and bedroom two.

The shower room hosts an invigorating walk-in rain shower and can function as an en-suite for the bedroom which is flooded with natural light and is wonderfully presented, house to a king-size bed.

The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and is home to a super-king-size bed that overlooks the lovely front garden and boasts an en-suite shower room with walk-in rain shower.

If you want to enjoy the scenic spots that The Cotswolds have to offer, why not arrange a tour with Cotswold Walks & Hikes & Bikes, or discover the history of Stow by taking a walk around the market square, where you will find the town stock at one end which dates back to the 15th Century and is shaded by an old Elm Tree and at the opposite end, you will find the ancient Market Cross, originally erected as a symbolic reminder to traders of the times to deal honestly and fairly.

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.
