About this cottage rental
Arriving in Stanton you will be awed by the beautiful properties and unspoilt landscapes. Each lane is a display of the finest Cotswold stone cottages and thatched buildings, keep an eye out for the extra details added to some of their rooftops. Stone Cottage is set on the high street, just down the road from the well-renowned Mount Inn which offers spectacular views across the village and beyond.
You enter the cottage into the living room which houses the large inglenook fireplace and wood burner which when lit fills the room with its warmth and comforting crackle. This room has stone flooring, mullioned windows and wooden beams above reminding you of the building's history and adding lovely features. The bespoke kitchen at the rear of the cottage has a large skylight making this a fantastic place to prepare evening meals at the traditional AGA. Serving at the spacious dining table you have a contemporary space to enjoy time together over meals and drinks. At the far end is a cloakroom and stable door out to the rear entrance.
Spread over three floors with a bedroom on the first and second, each has its own privacy and the added benefit of an en-suite. The bedrooms are incredibly comfortable, and you are sure to get an undisturbed night's sleep in this rural village. Luxurious bedding and added blankets give that extra special touch to elevate your stay. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath waiting to be filled with bubbles to whisk you away to tranquillity.
Outside is a wooden table and chairs for dining al fresco surrounded by lavender and rose beds adding a delicate fragrance when in bloom. You will see horses passing by from the nearby stables and walkers heading off along the Cotswold Way which winds through the village. On-street parking makes it easy to get going in the morning to explore Broadway, Evesham and beyond to Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham.

The stone cottage was the perfect blend of old world charm with modern conveniences
The bathrooms were spotless and the kitchen well equipped. The Mount Inn was walkable and had great food. The Cotswolds Trail runs directly behind the Inn and was a great place for a hike.

This cottage is so lovely. It is comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were great, friendly and efficient. We couldn't have had a better stay.

10am check out is a bit early for a 2 night stay especially if nobody else arriving that day. No silver foil provided for the oven/grill.
Otherwise perfect place in a gorgeous village.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Stone Cottage in Stanton. Well appointed accommodation in an idyllic location. A period cottage with some period features, including squeaky staircase! Many pubs locally, most of which serving good value meals.

Gorgeous Cotswold cottage in a quaint village. Ideal location, quiet, clean and comfortable. Beautiful decor. Close to Broadway and other quintessential Cotswold villages.

Stone Cottage is set in one of the most beautiful villages I've ever seen... The cottage itself is beautiful. However, be warned if your tall you might hit your head going up the stairs... There is quite a lot of wear and tear in the cottage, especially the walls/cracks etc. The cottage is comfortable, however could be finished to a higher standard for the cost per night.
4.0
The cottage is charming and beautiful although not appropriate for anyone with a mobility issue because of the steep and narrow stairs. The village is also charming and the Mount Inn is wonderful. We rent apartments and houses all over the world and are accustomed to the following being provided: two towels per person, at least one extra roll of toilet paper and paper towels, a little bit of laundry detergent, bathroom amenities such as shower/bath gel and 24/7 hot water and heat. None of these things are provided. The owners could charge just a bit more and provide these items which would make this rental much more convenient to travelers.
5.0
The village of Stanton is beautiful, we would love to revisit and for a longer period, to enjoy the local walking and of course the ‘pub’
The cottage itself is exceptional, in so many ways, and offers everything that we were hoping for on our trip to what is probably our favourite area to spend time.
My only problem relating to comfort was the very hard pillows, unfortunately I found these too uncomfortable and we went out to buy ones we could use.
We will certainly come to Stone Cottage again

Stone Cottage was exactly what it said on the tin…A bolt hole. A special comfort blanket for a short breakaway.

This cottage was a delight.
A very comfortable and stylish stopover in one of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds.
Arrival was easy. It should be noted the cottage does not have "Stone Cottage" on the outside, just a number. However it is easy to spot from the website photos. We found roadside parking to be easy on the quiet village lanes.
Very high quality fixtures and fittings throughout and the heating was quick to warm up whilst we got to grips with the wood burning stove. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed using the Aga. A good TV and Alexa added to the options for relaxing given the winter weather.
The bedrooms were stylish and the ensuite bathrooms a boon, along with the downstairs WC. High quality linens and towels.
We'd recommend the Mount Inn which is a short, if steep, walk up from the cottage. The food was good and plentiful, with friendly staff.
Small notes for improvement would be a) how to get the best out of the Aga and b) how to use the Qooker tap.
4.0
The cottage was cosy and well equipped. Stanton is well placed for walks on the Cotswold Way, interesting villages, good restaurants and pubs nearby.

Stone Cottage was a wonderful place to spend a few days. Sitting on the High Street in one of the Cotswold's most beautiful villages, the cottage is comfortable, with all modern amenities; toasty warm, well-stocked kitchen, great beds and tasteful furnishings. But it also has historic charm to match the many ancient manor houses and cottages of the village. It sits alongside the Cotswolds Way, so there are great walks from the door - up the hill past a great local pub, the Mount Inn, towards Snowshill, or through the iconic village of Stanway towards Winchcombe. I visited in the autumn and the colours of the foliage and sky were incredible. There's a real feeling of freedom and beauty in the area - and for history buffs, check out the 12th century frescoes in the church at Hailes. A great retreat for some countryside peace and tranquility!

Stone Cottage was a beautiful place to stay for our visit to the Cotswolds! The view from the upstairs window was dreamy. The sound of horses walking up and down High Street transported us to another time. Stanton is a quiet, peaceful village in pristine condition with a classic pub at the end the road. The cottage was authentic yet nicely modernized and decorated. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a nice meal. We appreciated having outdoor patio space to enjoy the warm weather we had during our stay. We recommend that Bolthole Retreats provide a few more supplies — like dishwasher pods, garbage bags, dish towels—to help us keep the cottage clean while we’re there (we stayed 8 nights and had only one garbage bag and 3 dishwasher pods). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

What an exceptionally beautiful home. Now filled with great memories and fun times. The location is excellent and the walks are superb. It's a home I will return to again and again, as the area is held so close to my heart. With family connections, it makes it all the more memorable for me. What a wonderful Bolthole Retreat!
Thank you again for providing an opportunity for more beautiful memories to be created, grown & developed; which hold such deep personal meaning.

An amazing beautiful cottage set in a stunning picturesque village so peaceful only the sound of the horses going by.
The Mount Inn just down the road was first class the food and service was impeccable and everyone made us feel very welcome.
Leaving the cottage was so very hard my partner had to drag me kicking and screaming ha, ha.
We'll definitely return to this little piece of paradise.
Thank you to the owners David & Laura and Bolthole Retreats.
Claire and Dave.

Perfect cotswold cottage. Brilliantly presented in a gorgeous little village. Away from the usual crowds, but theres great pub nearby and also short walk from Cotswold stay. Lots to do, only a short drive away. Definitely recommend to both cotswold first timers, and those who know the area well.
