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.

Wren Cottage is the perfect cottage for a stay in Stow-on-the-Wold. Walking distance to everything in Stow and close to all the gorgeous villages of the Cotswolds. Being able to park out the front of the cottage was ideal and the cottage itself very comfortable and cozy. We had nights in for dinner with all the relevant kitchen supplies available and nights out in the village just around the corner. Whilst on the main road into/past the village, there was no road noise from within the cottage. Can't recommend highly enough - we had a magnificent stay and would definitely go back! The chocolate biscuits left for our arrival a very nice touch!

Perfect location with lots on-hand; Only downside was the location to a very busy main road which has a lot of traffic from early morning and all through the day, other than that it is an ideal cottage with plenty of great walks in all directions; Stow has some lovely pub/restaurants to end the day in too.

Lovely country style cottage with lots of character and original features, very well equipped and beautifully decorated with plenty of space. Great location on the edge of Stow with lots of places to eat, drink and shop nearby and some good walks. Only small negatives would be there is some traffic noise so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs, and the 5pm check in time was quite late (normally would expect it to be 3pm especially when there's an early 10am checkout too).
