Lovely cottage in a great location.

Oxbow cottage is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is situated in a lovely quite location but is just a 15 minute walk into Stow-on-the-wold where there are lots of shops, pubs and cafes. It is in a great location for visiting the many lovely places in the Cotswolds. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will be back again in the future.

Short break

We had a lovely long weekend at Oxbox cottage. The cottage was well kept, super cosy and in a great location. It was the perfect little home from home. The view from the cottage was beautiful and the dog fenced field was great too.

Fun in the Cotswolds

My friend and I had a lovely time taking our dog for long walks and plenty of pubs to call on, on the way back. Lovely warm cottage with a roaring log fire.

Perfectly presented and conveniently close to Stow for dining, walking & shopping.

Comfortable and clean, a great place to stay for a while to recharge our batteries before the mayhem of Christmas begins. Well appointed with everything you need to relax inc. wood burner, coffee machine and sunsets. Dawn chorus, bats in the evening, 10 minute stroll to the nearest pub (the Bell) 5 more minutes and you are in Stow with more pubs, restaurants, tea shops to choose from. Conveniently placed to visit many attractions in the Cotswolds - the Animal Park just outside Burford is wonderful.

Delightful cottage with lovely views

Delightful cottage in a quiet hamlet with lovely views and yet just a short walk away up into Stow and all it facilities, restaurants, shops etc. Comfortable bed and sofa. Lovely double shower and a well kitted out kitchen.We took our dog who thoroughly enjoyed the large paddock for safe off lead exercise. Plenty of parking on the drive. Various places to visit just a short drive away and plenty of walks directly from the cottage.

Great short stay in this clean and well equipped cottage

This was a last minute booking but we were not disappointed. The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and the accomodation was exactly as described in the listing. A nice surprise was the good standard of kitchen equipment (especially a set of sharp knives!) which was better than often found in ths type of property. The owner was friendly and helped out with a couple of maintenance points very promptly. We will definitely stay again.

Perfect Cotswold stay

We loved our stay at Oxbow Cottage. It was the perfect base for our Cotswold visit. The location was beautiful in the countryside yet a short walk into Stow on Wold where there were delightful restaurants, pubs, wine bars and shopping. It gave us easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. It was perfect. We would love to go back one day.

Away with the dog

A lovely compact place. Ideal for a couple and their dog. A short walk into Stow where we found many place to eat, drink etc.. It was nice to look out over the rolling hills. The weather was kind to us too.

Wonderful few days at OXbow Cottage.

We spent a wonderful few days at OXbow Cottage. The advance information about the different steps involved was very helpful. Perhaps we missed the presence of a host or someone related to the organization. We had heard about the wonderful gardens of the Cotswolds, the beautiful villages, their well-kept houses and gardens, and truthfully, reality surpasses imagination. Every corner makes for a wonderful photo. To top it all off, we had magnificent weather every day we spent there.

Fabulous accommodation in a great location

We had a really comfortable and enjoyable 3 night stay at Oxbow Cottage. The accommodation is just right for 2 people and we had our cocker spaniel with us too. Oxbow is thoughtfully designed and furnished, very well equipped and very clean. The view is amazing from the terrace and also good to have the use of the paddock for the dog. We had fantastic weather and the tranquil location, just a short walk to Stow, was perfect particularly for an evening stroll for a drink at the local pubs. We enjoyed a coffee and an almond croissant at Huffkins and lunch at The Porch House which we recommend. The location is close to many lovely places to visit including Upper/Lower Slaughters (we recommend the Slaughters Country Inn for lunch after the circular walk) and the famous Daylesford Farm Shop for some lovely treats.

March 2025 stay

What a wonderful location - beautiful countryside & so peaceful and quiet with an easy short walk into Stow, which is a wonderful place to amble around. The cottage is ideally situated to explore the surrounding areas and Upper & Lower Slaughter, Bourton in the Water & Broadway are also well worth visiting. The cottage was cosy, clean & perfect for our getaway. Was extremely well equipped with nice touches of a dog towel & toys & logs for the log burner. The added bonus was the Paddock which our dog loved. Cannot recommend highly enough and hopefully we will return. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

Great little cottage in a great location

I would highly recommend Oxbow cottage. My husband & I visited the area for 4 nights & it was perfect. Very clean & equipped, with the Nespresso machine a lovely bonus! Check in was easy. The outside space was was secluded & perfect for a BBQ and a glass of wine. The cottage is small but the space well used & ideal for two people. The location was fantastic, in the country & quiet but only a 10 minute walk into Stow.

Oxbow cottage

A very quiet peaceful situation but within easy access to shops. Although we do not own a dog obviously set up for those that do. The microwave is situated well above head height so rather dangerous to use. Personally I would have liked firmer pillows on bed

Weekend Away

Small but perfectly formed cottage in a great location, 10-15 min easy walk into Stow on the Wold. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away with our dog, the paddock outside was a great bonus for exercising him. The views from the cottage were stunning and due to its location very peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The cottage was warm and cosy with the added warmth of the log burner. Stow has lots of lovely shops and pubs and everyone was so friendly. Would definitely recommend the cottage and the area for a nice break.

Wonderful cosy short break

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Oxbow. The cottage was very clean, the decor was very modern and contemporary. The bed was really comfortable. It is the perfect size for a couple. Our dog loved the paddock, it was such a bonus to have right outside the cottage and the views are wonderful. Just a 10 - 15 minutes walk in to Stow on the Wold.

Idyllic

My boyfriend and I stayed for a weekend in Oxbow Cottage with our cocker spaniel, Winston. It was really cosy and there was ample space for our things. The paddock next to the cottage was a lovely addition for Winston to run around in. It’s a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and there is lots of information left in the cottage on places to visit nearby, and local walks. The cottage came with some tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and one pint of milk, which was a great touch. There was also a dog towel - very cute! It’s a short walk into Stow on the Wold, which is lovely. There’s a cut through, which means Winston could be off lead for some exploring! We ate at The Old Stocks Inn and The Porch House, both were delicious. I would absolutely recommend Oxbow Cottage (and already have to friends and family!)

Stow surprise

What a lovely converted barn in a quiet village with beautiful views over the rolling Cotswold hills. Great attention to detail, cosy and well equipped. Oxbow cottage is the ideal stay for two with an easy walk into Stow on the Wold, well placed to get to all the major attractions and walks straight from your door.
