We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Stow House! There was plenty of room for our group to spread out and enjoy this lovely historic home. The charming town is right out the door with restaurants and shops just steps away. The kitchen was terrific and very well stocked with dishes and cookware, and the backyard is beautiful! It is the perfect location to enjoy Stow on the Wold. We would absolutely choose stay there again!

Wonderful stay at Stow House

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Stow House. The property is beautiful, impeccably clean, tastefully presented, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing break. Every detail has clearly been thought through, making it feel like a real home away from home. The location is perfect for exploring Stow-on-the-Wold and the surrounding Cotswolds, and it was lovely to come back to such a peaceful and cosy space at the end of each day. The on-hand help and communication were excellent from start to finish, which made the whole stay feel effortless and very welcoming. Overall, it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Stow House to anyone looking for a high-quality place to stay in this beautiful part of the country, and I would happily return.

Perfect Cotswold Stay

My group of 8 loved this house! Plenty of towels, super clean, great kitchen, a great backyard, and within walking distance to EVERYTHING in Stow in under 5 minutes. The only suggest I have is that we Americans love ICE - there was one ice tray that made 8 mini-cubes. More ice trays would be an easy and inexpensive plus!

Weekend With Family

The property is well equipped and very central to Stow. The small garden and patio/bar b q area is very nice as is the master suite on the top floor. Whilst clean and everything worked well some paint touch up and repainting is needed...which I guess is a winter job! The front bedrooms are quite noisy from the road outside and parking is sometimes a challenge with access quite restricted... The Old Butchers and Sheep could not be closer and Stow is a very nice place.

A great property

This is probably the best presented property I have stayed in! It had everything you needed for a few days away, all of the highest quality. There was plenty of room for 8 of us and a dog and the position of the house was perfect for a stay in Stow-on-the-Wold.

Return visit

This was our 3rd stay at Stow House, and we loved it just as much as the first time. It’s in a great location in the centre of Stow on the Wold, next door to The Old Butchers, our favourite restaurant! The house is really well equipped, clean and warm, and Rosie the housekeeper is exceptionally helpful. Bolthole Retreats seem very efficient and easy to deal with, and everything was just as expected. Definitely recommend a stay at Stow House!

Stow House

A beautiful house located in a perfect location for a few days away. We were a group of six (three couples) & our only criticism would be that if our other friends were able to have made the few days away with us, the lounge wouldn’t have seated us all. The kitchen & dining areas had super large tables with ample seating.

Absolutely fabulous!

We have just had a few days staying at Stow House and I can honestly say everything was perfect. Great house in a great town with everything on the doorstep. The house was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy, super soft towels etc. Every little thing had been thought of and we have never stayed anywhere with such a well stocked kitchen - there was LOADS of everything. Thank you Bolthole Retreats - as usual your service was exemplary - we will be back!

Comfortable house in a great location.

The Stow House was perfect for our stay in the Cotswolds. Our stay included a group of 2 families (4 adults, 4 children). The house was spacious, well equipped with adequate kitchen supplies, and comfortable. The outdoor terrace was relaxing and beautiful. The home is situated in the middle of town, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and he well stopped small grocery store. Be aware that most all restaurants in town fill quickly with reservations (at least during our stay in August). Most restaurants were available for next day reservations (even for a table of 8), which we made for all of our evenings after arrival.

Stow House Christmas Weekend

We had a fantastic weekend to celebrate Christmas with friends. Stow House was the perfect location; a cosy cottage right in the centre of beautiful Stow On The Wold. The house comfortably housed 8 adults, all of whom had an en-suite bathroom. The spacious and well equipped kitchen was more than sufficient for cooking Christmas dinner for 8 and the dining room big enough to seat us all. The only very minor points to consider are that parking is a bit restricted (one of our group struggled to find road side parking) and there isn’t a huge amount of freezer space. I can’t recommend this house highly enough, in fact we’re already considering booking it again for next year.

Perfect house in wonderful location.

Our party of eight have just returned from a visit to Stow House. This year we wanted to be somewhere centrally located for shops, restaurants and pubs, and Stow House was perfect. Literally minutes from all amenities, yet still close to all the other beautiful locations in the Cotswolds. The house itself is gorgeous, full of character features, but with modern facilities. The outside of the house belies its size, with plenty of room for the 9 people it can accommodate. Everyone said how comfortable the beds were, with high quality bedding and towels. The property was spotless and very well maintained, with every appliance you could hope for. The bottle of wine and welcome treats was a nice touch. All in all, a beautiful property and highly recommended.

Lovely cosy house for family weekend, right next to all the Stow-on-the-Wold has to offer. Great wee

Lovely house, very comfortable for large family group. Great communication, easy to find. Parking in road behind - can manage without the car unless you want to visit other parts of The Cotswolds. Lots of equipment in the kitchen - the only improvements we could suggest is a bigger freezer, and a ground floor toilet Bedrooms cosy and comfortable. Main suite at top of house with open plan bathroom not to everyone's choice, but a lovely big bedroom Stow is beautiful, everything in your doorstep. Great pubs, we had delicious pizza takeaway from The Sheep and Greedys fish & chips also great Sunday lunch at The Kings Arms great value but book ahead as it is very busy Would definitely recommend and look forward to a return visit

A perfect stay, in an amazing house

I booked Stow House for the weekend prior to my wedding in the Cotswolds and wow - it was everything we needed and more! As a family of 8, each room having an en-suite bathroom was honestly a life saver. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and so incredibly clean. There were lovely communal spaces which worked really well as a large group, but also enough space for everyone to escape to when family time gets a bit much!! The location was perfect, right in the midst of the town without being loud at night. An extra extra special thank you to the housekeeper Rosie - she went above and beyond for us. She was able to accommodate some last minute extra requests which were so appreciated. Communication with her was super easy, and she even went to the effort of posting back some items left at the property at her own expense. I could not thank her enough. Could not recommend the house enough!

A beautiful house to get married from

We stayed at Stow house in the run up to our wedding and got ready and left from there the morning of the wedding. It was perfect, a home away from home. Stow house is spacious with plenty of areas to relax and accommodate a large group staying there, the bedrooms are comfortable and all the amenities you need are provided. If I was to suggest any improvements, extra lighting outside in the garden would be very useful. The storm candles were great but more light was needed to see where you were going. A stronger light system would be beneficial outside. A bigger freezer is needed as we had brought with us bags of ice for drinks but had nowhere to store them as the freezer was really small. If there was anyway of turning the downstairs cupboard into a W.C I think that would be beneficial also.

New Year Family Break

Excellent location in Stow but felt the house needed a bit of TLC with lounge furniture in need of updating and renewal of oven cupboards. We used three of the five excellent bedrooms but felt a full occupancy would be a little cramped in the Lounge area. We did however have a very enjoyable time at the property

Second stay at this wonderful house

Along with 3 close friends with whom I trained to be a nurse many, many years ago, we stayed at Stow House for the second year running, having found it to be perfect in location, comfort, and luxury. It is literally a few steps away from all the shops and numerous cafes/pubs/restaurants, without being noisy. All the beds are super comfy, there are plenty of bathrooms, the kitchen is very well equipped and the sitting room is so welcoming with a gorgeous log burner. Highly recommend.

Great home base for a Cotswold trip

This home was even more amazing in person. The ensuite bathrooms in 4 of the 5 bedrooms was a huge hit with our group. Great location in town that made walking to breakfast lunch and dinner very easy. Every amenity you need was thoughtfully provided. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Spacious house in a great location

Great accommodation for 9 girls spending time together to celebrate birthdays during a long weekend. Very spacious inside and outside. All double rooms have an ensuite bathroom so no falling out, the superior bedroom was very impressive. We visited during a heatwave and each bedroom was supplied with an electric fan. A bedsheet would have been useful during the hot weather, it was too hot to use a quilt. Shame no downstairs bathroom. Great location for a wander around the local shops, pubs and cafes and easy to park ☺️

Great little cottage on the high street in Stow on the Wold - it’s bigger than you first think!

First of all, the position is just great. Go out of the front door and you’re straight in the middle of the town. Shops, pubs, antique shops, restaurants - all at your finger tips. Parking can be a challenge, but there are usually spaces on the road at the rear and we never had a problem. The side gate is great for access to this facility. The cottage at first seems small but it’s like a tardis. Three floors and lots of space at the rear for a lovely dining room, kitchen and breakfast area. There’s also a little garden area for a sunny aperitif or late breakfast! Rosie was most helpful when we were stuck with the locked timer function on the very modern cooker. Otherwise, my only real issue was that the house felt as though it could do with a deep clean. Some of the pots in the kitchen were mouldy and couldn’t be used. The small cupboard where the boiler is situated really needs de-cluttering. It’s an accident waiting to happen! Overall, we had a lovely time and adore Stow as a place to visit.

Stow house

Very comfortable, lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen very well equipped, and spacious, lovely sitting room, could do with better curtain or blinds as extra, all in all very cosy, we had a lovely holiday. Road is a bit noisy at night, and obviously no private parking for stow house. But very comfortable, and would love to return.
