About this cottage rental

Primrose Cottage rests in the heart of the historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, and is a lovely two-bedroom cottage, with space for four guests.

Situated in a quiet road within the heart of the historic market town, Stow-on-the-Wold, in a short row of cottages, you will find the lovely Primrose Cottage. Built in the 18th century, the cottage has been freshly renovated, yet still holding its character such as exposed wooden beams and charming woodburning stove. Ideal for families or groups of friends, sleeping up to four guests, Primrose Cottage is a splendid choice for your getaway to the Cotswolds.

Upon arrival in the quiet road, park your car in the nearby road and approach the property through the lovely courtyard garden, where the front door opens into the well-appointed and contemporary kitchen where you will find everything you require to make a delicious home-cooked meal to enjoy at the dining table with your guests and plan your itinerary for your wonderful trip to the Cotswolds, or if the weather permits, eat your dinner alfresco style in the little courtyard with outdoor table and chairs to the front of the property. The sitting room is little, yet homely and warming, and has plenty of character including exposed oak beams and woodburning stove which is perfect for chilly winter nights.

When sleep calls, make your way up the stairs to the first floor where you will have a choice of two relaxing bedrooms; the master containing a double bed and second bedroom containing twin beds. The bathroom finishing the first floor off nicely, contains a bath for you to relax in after a long day of travelling or exploring.

Amenities: Gas central heating with woodburning stove. Electric oven with gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, TV with Freeview, DVD player, telephone, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Cot and highchair available. Roadside parking nearby. Courtyard garden with furniture (front). Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop and pub 0.1 miles.

Region: Visitors to the Cotswolds have long treasured memories of charming towns and villages built from the famous honey-coloured stone, it now boasts a thriving community of contemporary artists working from studios and shops throughout the area.

Town: 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 Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted; Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. 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.

The property was not at all like the pictures. It was dirty and needed a lot of maintenance. The plumbing didn’t drain in the tub. The bathroom was dirty with con webs and peeling paint. The wall throughout were filthy. The floor was buckling in the bath. We didn’t have hot water for the 1st 24 hours. The garden was full of weeds. The living area smelled of dirty fireplace. Overall an unpleasant experience.

There's a big difference between olde world charm and absolute neglect. On arrival the first thing that greeted us was a front garden that hadn't received any TLC in quite some time. Weeds and dead plants and some empty milk bottles containing murky brown water! On entering, the house was cold and uninviting. A torn packet of very ordinary biscuits were left on the table. Not the lovely cake in the online picture. The cottage itself was in dire need of maintenance. Very tired and unloved. Carpet and furnishings were well worn and simply didn't look or feel clean. There was hair in the bath plug, mould and cobwebs throughout and dental picks in the washing machine!! There were even crumbs on the sofa! All in all a very disappointing stay and nothing like the online photos. The only positive is its location. Very easy access to town.

We were here visiting family and wanted to be close so the location was perfect. We didn’t spend too much time in the cottage since we were out and about exploring the Cotswolds but it was exactly what we needed for the time we spent here. It was a quick 2 minute walk to the center of stow to get breakfast at the hive and check out the local cheese store. The management team was amazing and quick to respond. Very happy with our experience!!
