Great cottage in a great location

We loved our stay at this cottage. Perfect size for our family of four with three great sized bedrooms. The only thing I’d change is the back garden space as this didn’t feel an inviting space to sit in. Location is perfect, with the cottage situated 2minutes walk from the main high street. Plenty of fab places to eat or drink.

Very comfortable beds and sofa could do with fan or aircon in bedroom as extremely hot location was great and nice dog walks close by a tray in the kitchen would be useful for taking things into dining room

A Beautiful Cottage in a lovely location

A beautiful Cottage which had all we needed in a perfect location. The house was mostly clean and spotless ,however there were a lot of black dog hairs on the sofa which was not good for the 8month old baby, also it was hot weather and the upstairs of the house got very hot so might be worth providing a fan. Otherwise very good and we all enjoyed our stay Thankyou

Ways End - a good choice and a fantastic location.

This was our first time in the Cotswolds and Ways End cottage is in a fantastic location behind the main centre of Stow on the Wold. It's a very comfortable little house with almost everything you need for a short holiday. The only criticism I could have is that there is no washing machine or bath. The water pressure in the shower isn't great but overall the cottage is very well appointed and our poodles loved the secure garden. The house is very clean also and the property manager is on call if needed.

Dog-friendly stay

We had such a lovely time at Ways end. The house was well equipped for everything we needed and the beds were super comfy! Great location to stay and explore the Cotswolds, Stow town was just around the corner from the property and took about a 5 min walk. There is a Tesco which is handy and in walking distance. Lots of great pubs and little shops, we will definitely be back!

A Wonderful Trip

We loved Ways End. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable, we felt relaxed as soon as we had settled in! It’s in a great location in Stow and for the surrounding attractions. We particularly enjoyed Batsford Arboretum, the Falconry Centre and the Cotswold Wildlife Park. We can’t wait to return!

Quality accommodation in great location

On arrival found everything was spotless. The property is well maintained with everything you need and just around 7 minutes walk from the main square. The eggs, milk, biscuits, and cleaning pack were all thoughtful touches. We also appreciated the courtesy text contact from the StayCotswold representative during our stay.

Fantastic Base to Explore The Cotswolds

Ways End is a lovely house in a nice quiet location in Stow on the Wold. The house is clean and comfortable, with a great size outside space that gets the sun pretty much all day! Stow is a perfect base to explore the Cotswold. We visited Sezincote House, Sudeley Castle, Batsford Arboretum and the Cotswold wildlife park and had a fabulous time at all of them. The only slight negative was that that it was the Stow Horse Fair the week of our stay which meant that a lot of the local pubs and restaurants were closed due to the visiting gypsies. I didn’t even know this was an event, but it really didn’t impact our stay.

Great location and cosy cottage

This cottage is in a fantastic position only minutes away from the centre of Stow in the Wold. The beds were very comfortable and the property was well equipped. Some people may struggle to use the smart TV, we figured it out, but we couldn’t find any instructions. It was good to having off road parking available.

Cotswolds Break

Perfect location to explore the surrounding villages, as well as Stow itself. All amenities available. Very quiet. You could see a few cars passing, but couldn't hear them. Perfect break

A perfect location!

Cottage is in a great location, just a very short walk from the shops etc. The garden is secure for dogs, and there are plenty of dog walks nearby. The beds are supreme - so comfortable, a good nights sleep was guaranteed. The cottage is nearly fitted out, and it shows. There was a lovely welcome pack - eggs, milk, biscuits etc, which was a great touch. Stay Cotswold were very friendly and professional, and so, yes, I'd definitely recommend.

A lovely stay at ways end

We stayed as 4 adults at ways end and had a nice time with some minor hiccups. The property seems newly renovated and is a great location walking distance into stow on the wold. Beds were super comfy although the bathroom is quite small and I would think this property was more suited to 2 adults and children as space is a little limited. The welcome bread and eggs was a nice touch however the properly just lacked basic items when you book to stay somewhere. For example no shower gels/ hair wash in bathroom & basic items were missing such as a hairdryer, iron and fire lighter to get the fire going however once I contacted the host they did come to provide these. A lovely stay but needs some minor holiday let attention to detail touches adding.

Great location but....

The location was perfect. The beds and sofa were very,very comfortable. But, the property needs maintenance. All the blinds were covered with dust. The hoover didn't work as hoover bag full but no replacement could be found. I had to manually pull out all debris from existing bag in order to be able to hoover up (we have a dog so this needed to be done daily). Boiler lost pressure so no hot water until we got that sorted. No "guide book" of the property was supplied with helpful info eg what goes in which bins, when collection day was, useful phone numbers etc etc. There were marks all over skirting boards and cracks in walls/ceilings which just made house feel unloved. The bbq was nit fit for pupose, covered in rust (we had taken our own). The garden furniture was tired and the garden itself needed tending. Kitchen was lovely (shame no washing machine as then it would have been perfect) and the tv was great too.

A pleasant cottage in a perfect location.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Ways end. The location is just perfect as it’s on a nice quiet estate with just a short walk into the centre of the town. The cottage itself was nicely decorated with some lovely touches, fresh sourdough bread, butter and eggs. There is a nice big porch area for dirty boots and coats after amazing walks. The beds are very comfy as are the pillows. A few negative points: No bin in the bathroom (which is downstairs) or the bedrooms which I feel is a necessity. No hairdryer provided either ☹️ the one time I didn’t take one as they are usually provided!!!! There’s no washing machine, which wasn’t an issue for us, but if we were staying longer or had young children we may have appreciated one. Only one bedside lamp in the bedrooms, I feel there should be one each side of a double bed. Overall we had a much needed enjoyable stay and would definitely come back and stay here again. A hot tub in the garden would have been the icing on the cake!!

Lovely Stay

We stayed at Ways End in Stow for four nights as a family of four and we took our dog with us. I contacted the property  mangager in advance to ask if an earlier check-in could be arranged, and they were very helpful and this was arranged for us. Location wise, its less than a five minute walk to the Market Square of Stow. It was very busy being half term week. Despite it being a busy area there wasnt any noise and it was peaceful. There are plenty of places to eat, and most of all seem to allow dogs too. We had a nice meal at The Kings Arms. We also ordered Pizza from Zonda Pizza ( a van at Stow Rugby Club) which is a short 3 minute drive, we would recommend it was really nice. We enjoyed walking around Lower Slaughters with our dog, our dog loved playing in the water (a five minute drive away).  Ways End met our needs for a short stay with family. The bedrooms upstairs were spacious and the beds were really comfortable. The downstairs bed I found quite uncomfortable, it was very hard. Things that might be helpful, a welcome folder, with walking routes, places to visit, takeaway menus etc.  All in all, we had a lovely stay and found StayCotswold very helpful.
