Two night stay at Little Elms at Stow

The house was ideally located in a quiet spot on Market Square with free parking outside and a short walk to all of the local amenities. The house was clean and comfortable and equipped with everything needed. We had a nice stay with no issues.

Great stay at Little Elms

We really enjoyed our stay at the Little Elms. It's such a beautiful and comfortable apartment Catherine would have liked some blinds on the kitchen windows for privacy but otherwise everything was first class

A nice property

Very nice property in a great location with all facilities as described, no where really to dry bath towels and needs a tray as lounge is not on same floor as kitchen, but small complaints considering it is a lovely property.

Lovely way to enjoy the Cotswolds

Two of us stayed here in January. It is a well equipped and well appointed location. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. Everything worked well. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom and shower were fine. The outside temperature was pretty cold so it took a while to heat the place when we first arrived but when we got it right it was comfortable. The location is perfect - right on the market square and the facilities in Stow are excellent - good places to eat and drink and some lovely shopping.

Are stay at little elms

Lovely cottage, great location and very spacious It would benefit from having the blinds put back up in the kitchen and on the front door, did feel it lacked privacy especially during the evening . Couldn’t find some of the manuals on how to use heating, cooker etc .

Beautiful cottage

Beautiful cottage right in the centre of Stow on the wold. Beautifully decorated and lovely and clean. We didn't manage to park outside the cottage as someone was there already. However this didn't matter, as literally 5 mins away a 72hour free car park. The people in the area were really friendly. The shops and restaurants were lovely. Had an after tea and went for a lovely countryside walk. Totally switched off during our family stay. Will definately be coming back soon. Thank you x

Wonderful home in the heart of the town

We arrived to the property on a warm sunny day and found the property to be lovely and cool inside. Though it was busy outside it was quiet inside. The facilities throughout the property were excellent. Very comfy huge bed in the master bedroom. We were able to sit on the grass outside the property and enjoy the late afternoon sunshine. We managed to park on the little lay-by outside the house which was a bonus as meant we weren’t moving cars around. The only missing for me personally was a bathtub! After a long walk a soak in the bath would have made this the ultimate relaxation stay! Excellent location for drinks, food, walks and a handful of shops. Will definitely return.

Was just OK, not spectacular.

Location is superb, cannot be beat! But the house is clearly a rental property. It was clean.....enough, but this house needs someone to oversee it. Kitchen sink has the usual issues as in the sink drain was just dirty and every time we ran water into it, it smelled of decayed food wafting up into our faces. Seems the drain needs a deep cleaning. Master bedroom windows open to let air into the house but the windows have rot and mildew on the frames and they don't quite close properly as the window hardware is loose. Clearly there is a moisture issue in this house as there were dehumidifiers in the master bedroom, kitchen and also the basement. The basement.....is the original basement from when the house was built in the 1700's or 1800's. It has a bathroom there also, but the entire space is so damp the toilet tissue was actually soaking wet (not kidding!) and totally unusable. Dehumidifier in the basement but not plugged in, probably because it would need to be emptied every day by someone unless it was direct drained into the sink in the bathroom, or somewhere. There seems to be no real plan to deal with the moisture in this house on a serious, ongoing level. So, it was a great location, and OK to stay in if you stayed in the kitchen area. And there is only one bathroom that was usable given the dampness in the basement bathroom, so using the bathroom that was in good order required trips up to the 3rd floor of the house every time. There is no bathroom on the main level of the house at all. House has an alarm system but no code information or operational information was given to us to use it during the stay.

Great stay in Stow

This was our first time in the Cotswolds and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The location was perfect, easy access to everything and right on the main square. The house was so well designed and had so much space. We loved every room. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Stay

We rented Little Elms for 7 nights and used Stow as our base for exploring The Cotswolds. Little Elms was perfect—it had all of the amenities we needed and its location on Market Square puts you right in the middle of the shops and pubs. We would highly recommend a stay here!

Fantastic stay for 2 adults and young children

Lovely base for exploring with a well equipped kitchen. Our 2 young children fit comfortably in the bunk beds. We had an issue with the water temperature but good communication and we were happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend Stow on the Wold and this property. Looking forward to visiting again.

A Wonderful Base to Explore The Cotswold Region

if you're interested in exploring the Cotswolds.you can't beat this property. Stow is a great small town with many restaurants,bakery and shops and the rental is right on the square. Parking wasn't an issue if you're exploring the area. during the day. By the time you return,there's plenty. And,if not,parking at the Tesco is only a short walk away. The house is comfortable and well equipped. Definitely would stay there again.

Cosy home stay in quiet Cotswolds town

The property is centrally located in Stow-on-the-Wold and perfectly placed to enjoy what the town has to offer during the day. After 4pm midweek, the town has very little to offer besides a number of pubs (no bad thing in itself) but this is no reflection on the property, as we were grateful to be staying in such a comfortable and well-equipped property. It's well positioned for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds, and we were fortunate enough to be able to park directly outside which was really useful for loading and unloading with a baby. We really enjoyed our stay and its a shame we couldn't have stayed longer.

Perfect location

We had a lovely stay at the Little Elms. It was perfectly located right in the market square. The home was fully equipped with any kitchen items you might need. Our only issue with the place was with the shower. We were unable to change the temperature of the water so it was extremely hot the entire time. Other than that, it was perfect for our family of 3. Would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Character house in a fantastic location

We spent a week staying in Little Elms and it was fantastic. The location is sensational, right on the square in the heart of the village and the house has everything you need. Parking was never an issue for us as we were almost always able to get an unlimited parking space right out the front (at least overnight) and there was usually plenty of space in the square. Failing that, it was only a very short walk from the Tesco supermarket long-term parking. Stow on the Wold is a great, central location for exploring most of the Cotwolds and it suited us perfectly. We did a walking tour of the village on Sunday offer by the local civil society which was well worth doing. Overall, a fantastic place in an absolutely wonderful village.

Peaceful stay in a beautiful town

This property has been beautifully renovated and the perfect stay for our family of 4. We stayed at Little Elms and took day trips around the Cotswolds. The day after we arrived there was a market in the square out in front of little Elms. We had the best almond croissants. We checked out most of the pubs, restaurants and coffee shops in town. All were amazing. Overall Little Elms and Stow on the Wold were the highlight of our summer.
