It was the architecture of Rajasthani India that inspired the design of Pineapple Spa Cottage – a Grade II listed hideaway complete with a natural spring that was modelled into a small spa by 19th century architect, Samuel Pepys Cockerell. Marrying Georgian elegance with Eastern influences, the intricacy of the exterior ranges from delicate scalloped windows to golden fir finials and pineapple motifs while the architectural romance continues inside thanks to regal high ceilings and stone-carvings. Just outside the sleepy village of Lower Swell, it’s just moments away from the butter-hued streets of Stow-on-the-Wold.

Quirky and comfortable

Excellent property in all respects other than fronting directly onto a busy main road at peak times (60 mph speed limit). This was such a shame and detracted from our enjoyment of the incredible lounge. The property is described as nestling in the village which sadly is not really the case.
Highly recommend the cottage itself if prepared to tolerate the road outside.

We (family of 4) enjoyed our stay at Pineapple Spa Cottage. The living room was very cosy, the kitchen was extremely well equipped, the beds were comfortable the shower was hot and the place was very close to the shops and restaurants of Stow-on-the-Wold - so it had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The things we weren’t so keen on are really a matter of personal taste - there are a lot of quite narrow stairs, the traffic speeds past the house and it is quite noisy in the top bedroom, and we found the decoration edged towards clutter. But overall a great stay.

An absolutely lovely cottage in the heart of Cotswolds, surrounded by nature. The house had everything you needed, although it was missing some soap and shower gel in the bathroom, but that might have been a slight omission. And the little garden was incredibly cosy and beautiful! Would most surely be back.

Pineapple spa cottage has all the elements of a quaint cosy English cottage set in a Cotswold village and more. Beautiful stone architecture, history stemming from Roman times, cute little nooks to sit and read a book; yet modern kitchen & bath and stunning interior design that provides every comfort. Thank you for an amazing experience and we look forward to returning as well as recommending to our friends and family!

We were very impressed with this beautiful Cotswolds retreat. A pleasant walk into the centre of Stow and to a local friendly pub. Perfectly situated to visit other famous towns in the area by car. A very warm welcome was experienced on arrival.
Just very slight difficulty finding it in the dark and I would encourage the owner to give the street name along with the Postcode. Other than that it was perfect in every way. Thank you

I recently stayed at this charming cottage, which was well appointed, clean, and very comfortable. The wood-burning stove and copper bathtub were both highlights. The owner was wonderful and highly responsive. A lovely welcome basket was provided, and soap was in each bathroom, but you should bring your own toiletries. One slight downside, which is of no fault of the owner, is that cars do speed down the road quite quickly and can be heard inside the retreat. This is only during the day and at bedtime it is quite quiet. One of the bedrooms does not face the street and is quieter than the other. Otherwise, cottage is in the perfect location to see most of the sites in the northern Cotswolds. I would stay here again.

We have just returned from a fabulous 7 night stay at Pineapple Spa Cottage. The location is excellent. Stow-on-Wold - a very lovely Cotswold town - is a very short drive away. Chipping Camden, Cheltenham, Broadway and other great places to visit are also easily accessible. The cottage is gorgeous, and extremely well equipped. There is a great electric Aga (very easy to use), a dishwasher, fridge freezer and a washer drier. There is plenty of crockery and cookware in the lovely dining kitchen. The bedrooms are super comfy with plenty of hanging space. There is a downstairs cloakroom, and a lovely full bathroom with a rainfall shower and fabulous vintage copper bath tub. There are loads of towels and ample toiletries. Outside there is a court yard with seating and an electric BBQ, a large lawned area, and dedicated parking for two cars across the road. Communication with Rachel, the host, is easy and she is very responsive. Pineapple Spa Cottage is a great place to stay when visiting the Cotswolds - we loved it!

Pineapple cottage is beautiful. The host left us a basket of goodies, milk, juice, butter and wine. Very comfortable bed. We took a lovely, easy walk to Stow. The only issue was the very poor water pressure in the upstairs and downstairs bathroom sinks. And the copper bathtub does need some TLC.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Pineapple cottage.

Beautiful Decor, A cosy lounge with an open fire and comfortable beds.

The host was very thoughtful, left a bottle of wine and snacks for us. We had everything we needed, excellent service! We would certainly recommend and hope to return!

Wow! Wow! Wow! First of all, the pictures do not even begin to do this wonderful cottage justice. The cottage is spotlessly clean and finished to the absolutely highest standards throughout. Every detail of this beautiful little cottage has been carefully thought out with luxury and comfort in mind. The owner's personal touches are evident throughout and this only adds to the charm of this lovely property. The owner was so helpful before our stay and the lovely little welcome basket and wine on our arrival was such a lovely surprise. I cannot recomend this property highly enough. It is by far one of the lovliest properties we have stayed in and we will most certainly be back.
