From the communication from the agent through to leaving the property was excellent the cottage was wonderful location was perfect just a small walk from the centre of stow al was faultless

The cottage is adorable - old and authentic - very pretty. It is set back off a fairly busy road - which is something to be aware of but was not a big problem as it is in a lane adjacent to the road itself. The neighbouring cottage is double-fronted with a large garden that backs onto ours. They had a BBQ until late both nights with a noisy dog so it was not quite as peaceful as we hoped. Parking was quite tight at the front but we never failed to find a space near our cottage so was not a problem for us. The courtyard garden was very small and a little overgrown - I am sure the owners could fix the overgrown bit easily ( I nearly did it myself!) but that was a little disappointing but perhaps I am being too picky. That said it is so close to the most beautiful shopping and browsing lanes, market square and gorgeous pubs - we had lunch at the stunning Porch House. We loved the town of Stow. As the cottage is old it was a little darker inside than the photos led us to believe - it was also a little chilly on our first evening there as temperatures dropped a little but the plug-in radiators and cosy blankets soon sorted that out. The kitchen was lovely - well equipped with everything you need and milk, tea bags and basics supplied which was appreciated. The bathroom was clean and functional, nice shower, and nice clean white fluffy towels. The beds were amazing - super comfy and cosy, with lovely feather duvets and pillows and we slept well. Overall, it was a really nice place to stay for our first visit to the Cotswolds. Good value for money; we were happy with it and we would stay again.

We chose Wren cottage a we were looking for somewhere dog friendly, in walking distance of the town. Wren cottage was beautifully decorated and perfect for the two of us. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome book was full of information (although we couldn't find the fan which would be useful on hot days). The outside courtyard could do with some maintenance (and table for 2 would fit better), but this wasn't an issue as we didn't use it. Stay Cotswold were available to answer our queries, and helped when we had an issue out of hours. They checked in on us the following day and couldn't have done more. The road was quite noisy, but not an issue if the windows were closed (we just needed them open as it was really warm!). We loved the character of the building and would definitely stay again.

Stayed for a month, remote working. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was worried that the traffic noise might be a problem but it wasn’t. Internet was fine for voice calls. Upload speed was a bit slow. Lot’s of nice walks nearby. And Stow is a great town, much quieter than nearby Bourton-on-the-Water. I’d happily stay again

Lovely property, just the right size. Perfect location for strolling into town for shopping, restaurants etc. Plush bath & hand towels, well equipped kitchen. Could have provided small body wash lotions, shampoo and conditioners in the bathroom for guest use, but that’s a more minor point. A couple of plates & mugs were already chipped prior to our arrival, so that should be looked after better, prior to guest arrival. Didn’t communicate with the property manager, so gave a 1 star rating there

We had a lovely time at Wren Cottage. It was perfect for us as a couple with a small toddler. The place has been done to a very high standard. There was everything you could need in the kitchen. The road was noisy but we had ear plugs so it didn’t bother us. The location was excellent and parking right outside.

Gorgeous cottage in central Stow, exactly what we were hoping for

We loved the location, perfectly placed for exploring Stow and environs with excellent Cotswold walks and superb hostelries all within easy reach. Despite being close to the busy Fosse Way the traffic noise was barely intrusive and parking was plentiful. The overall cleanliness was marginal and the large bathroom mirror was filthy. The shower glass needed maintenance and would not serve its purpose without wedging with cloths. Most importantly, the wood burner is in dire need of repair: it leaks badly and cannot be sealed, result: works more like a furnace than an economical fire. Simply put too many chefs, owner > agent > sub agent > cleaners/maintenance. Recommend a proper examination of the property between clients by a thorough individual. Wren Cottage has the potential to meet higher standards.
