The Old Candle Shop is a luxurious and stylish holiday cottage which has been lovingly restored from a former candle making workshop. The property benefits from a wood burning stove and Jacuzzi hot tub and has a prime location in Moreton-in-Marsh which has a direct train from London and several pubs and shops a stone’s throw away so a car isn’t essential.

Lovely stay

We were here for 3 nights for my wife’s birthday. It is beautifully decorated and well equipped although we only used the kettle! It is so close to great places to eat but still fairly quiet. The hot tub is really big and we used it twice a day. Absolute bliss. We slept well in a very comfy bed and used the log burner every night. We took our smallest car which easily went in the garage.
A few minor niggles though. There was no milk in the fridge for a cuppa and no firelighters and a tiny amount of kindling. Tesco express was shut for improvements for 2 days so we had to drive to Coop - not far but the roads were really busy by then. The gauntlets supplied for the log burner were useless/dangerous but there were tongs. The main door doesn’t open and it would’ve been nice to know instead of trying it for ages. The place was generally spotless but we did get quite a few dog hairs on our clothing which surprised us.
We did have a really great time and would come back.

Thank you Graham for your review of The Old Candle Shop. We are delighted that you found the property to be beautifully decorated and well equipped. The gloves are heat resistant to enable you to put logs on the log burner. The main entrance used by guests is the bi-fold doors however there is a separate key kept inside the property if you prefer to come and go via the front door. The property is pet friendly and whilst the housekeepers do their best to eradicate any signs of previous pets staying at the property some fur may still be found. We do hope that you will be back to stay again soon!

Brilliant stay

Great place and really good location.

Only reason it’s a 4 on comfort is the upstairs rooms were very hot with the weather being unseasonably warm. Managed okay with the fans but would of been difficult if any hotter!

Other than that perfect location wise and facilities and would’ve definitely return!

This property has it all. The house itself is very spacious with everything you could possibly need. Parking is on site albeit a little tight to get in but nevertheless once in the vehicle is safe and off the road. Shops, restaurants and dog walks are all within easy access and the hot tub is a perfect bonus. We were all set to re book this cottage but there were signs on the Main Street through moreton warning of severe road works from January to end of March. Pity we would have liked to have visited again in January.

First impressions count and this property had it all.- fabulous facilities and the wow factor. Had to be good at reversing to get the car into the enclosed yard. Display cabinet shelves a bit dusty and the wok had been left with oil in but other than these minor points the property was first class.

The house is in a perfect position just a short stroll from the High Street where there are lovely places to eat and drink. It was well equipped with anything you would possibly need and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us when we arrived. We visited lots of lovely places every day all within an hours journey of the property. The house was beautiful and we had a hard task trying to keep our 5 year old granddaughter out of the hot tub. She loved it!!! Nice to relax in after a long day sightseeing.Although there is only one space for parking at the property, there are plenty places on the High Street.
I would definitely recommend it and if we visit the Cotswolds again in the future, I woul love to stay here again. Thankyou.

We had a fabulous week in Moreton at The Old Candle Shop. The property was very well equipped and the welcome basket was superb. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were lovely and fluffy. Everything was well explained in the house and we managed to use the cooker and tv with no problems.

My only slight whinges were that the drawers in the bedroom hadn’t been cleaned properly and the parking space was a bit tight. I always bring my own shampoo/conditioner/shower gel anyway but these weren’t provided at the property.

We will definitely stay again and Moreton is a lovely Cotswold town.

A very comfortable high spec property in a fabulous location. The welcome pack was lovely and everything you need was provided and well thought out. Living room was extremely comfy with excellent seating for us all and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Our only minor criticisms are:
No Prosecco flutes - even in the cabinet there wasn’t anything suitable
No pint glasses
The garden on entering the property was untidy with dead plants in pots so not a great first impression
Umbrella was broken so no shade
BBQ was unusable due to being filthy and not cleaned from whoever used it last

Loved this cottage. We appreciated the food suppled on arrival, but were a little disappointed there was no coffee provided as we had a hard time finding the pods to fit the coffee maker. The cottage was very clean and well furnished but the beds were soft and not as long as we consider a king bed Great location.

The property is in an excellent location within 100m to the shops and pubs of Moreton. It was spacious and clean with everything you could need. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. If you have a very big car you may find the parking a bit tight. EV charger wasn't working, but the property manager sorted it very quickly. I would recommend this property and would go again if I was visiting the area.

The property certainly has the wow factor, beautifully presented and very well equipped. The location is great, just a few metres from the main high street, but even being so close there was no noise nuisance at all.
Everything was good quality & it was a comfortable property to stay in.
Our only two very minor niggles were that there were plenty of plastic flutes & wine glasses for use around the hot tub, however there were only 2 proper glass wine glasses for use indoors. I appreciate there was a cabinet containing expensive looking crystal glasses however we didn't know if they were for general use & would have been afraid of breaking them.
Also there were four of us booked into the property but only 3 hot tub towels were provided - properly an oversight.
We would all definitely stay here again as it really was a lovely place.

My daughter and I stayed 5 nights, using both bedrooms. The house was toasty warm in January and very inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again in a heartbeat. The skylights over the beds allowed for terrific star gazing at night. The hot tub was perfect. It’s a high end house with beautiful furnishings and lighting. The beds are soft but really comfortable. Great shower

There are always some things to improve but these are minor. While the location is ideal for walking from the train, there’s also some street noise early in the morning. Shampoo and shower soap are not provided. There aren’t a lot of food items such as spices, oils etc but Tesco is literally 40 steps away

We walked to bourton on the water and took the bus back. We also took the bus to Tewksbury. Bus system is excellent. We took the train to Oxford on a rainy day. 5 days was the perfect length to stay and after a long day we always looked forward to returning to the old candle shop. Thank so much!

We had a lovely stay at The Old Candle shop. Everything we needed was there for four of us, it was lovely done! We spent our evenings by the fire playing games and watching Christmas films. Location was great as we had everything we needed in the village but was easy to get to all the villages we wanted to visit too. It was also lovely having our own ensuite too and the piano was a nice touch. We would 100% stay again.

The house was lovely and in such a great location close to the shops and station.
The house had everything we needed and wanted which was great.
Couple of things that could be improved would be something like a gazebo over the hot tub so it can be used in all weather conditions.
Also the sofa bed in the front room needs seriously upgrading its very uncomfortable and dips in the middle even when set up as a sofa.

The Old Candle Shop is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the country , all areas of the Cotswold are a short drive away and would highly recommend seeing as much as you can . The old Candle Shop is amazing it is roomie and well-presented and the of street parking is a bonus . The outside area is also good with a hot tub that is not over looked , i must say though that the only down side are a few of the food eateries we had a few poor meals/takeaways the stone bake pizza place was not that great and Ask Italia also not great having said that it did not spoil our stay i must recommend Otis & Belle they serve amazing fresh baked food every day . Also leaving on a high these areas are very dog friendly which ticks a box for most . In regards to what i have said these are our views in regards to the eateries please make your own decision .

We had a fantastic few days at The Old Candle Shop. The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It also had absolutely everything anyone would need from milk and butter in the fridge to dog treats in the cupboard.
Location-wise, the cottage is in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, just behind the High Street, with plenty of places to eat and drink.
The walks were beautiful too!
A perfect place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back again, it was a real 'home from home' holiday.

We had a fantastic time at The Old Candle Shop. It's a beautiful cottage, extremely well designed and well kept. I was nervous as we were travelling with our young baby, the cottage was warm and absolutely spotless, with a very good high chair provided and lots of space for the pram and everything else we needed. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, with a supermarket and coffee shop about 60 seconds walk. We found the area had lots to do, even with a young baby to entertain. We found accessing the cottage and checking out all very easy and simple. And the hot tub was a lovely addition. 10/10, we couldn't fault it.

We loved out stay in The Old Candle Shop and would definitely recommend to anyone else.

There were 3 in our group and the house had more than enough space for us, lots of space to chill in the lounge, a great sized kitchen with all the equipment needed, two decent sized bathrooms and the hot tub was just such a treat.

There were several country walks right on the doorstep, good restaurants to choose from and the Black Bear offered a lovely Sunday roast so the location was perfect.

The old candle shop was well presented and well located it is finished to a high standard and a big bonus was the off road parking the hot tub was a great addition and a nice out side area as we had a dog with us and fully secure for the him
The property is just off the high street that has pubs restaurants and shops so very handy
The only thing I would recommend is replacement of sofas as the sofa bed is very uncomfortable and small chesterfield is very low the arm chair is very comfortable I had to clean out log burner as it had been used and some cutlery and cooking utensils were not clean in the drawers however all in all really enjoyed our stay and great location and good walks with the dog over the fields

Thank you Roger for your review of The Old Candle Shop. We are delighted you found the property to be well presented and well located. We are sorry to hear that you found the sofas to be uncomfortable and that you had to empty the log burner before use. We will ask the housekeeping team to check the dishwasher to make sure it is working as it should be and we will pass on your feedback to the property owner and manager for them to review and implement any appropriate actions for the benefit of future guests. We hope you will be back to stay again soon!

Wonderful holiday retreat in a lovely village location

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Candle Shop in Moreton. The property is in a perfect location two minutes walk from the High Street with parking which is a huge bonus . It has been built to a high standard and offers very comfortable accommodation with lots of nice touches and more importantly is very clean. The owners have thought of everything to ensure guests have a perfect stay. We loved coming back after a day out to unwind in the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and utensils . We would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at the Old Candle Shop and will certainly return next time we visit the Cotswolds . The whole process from booking the accommodation to checking in and out was simple and we had regular updates from StayCotswold who were very efficient.

A wonderful bit of luxury with plenty of space to relax and unwind, everything there to make it a hone from home with a thoughtfully chilled bottle of prosecco on arrival. Brilliantly situated if you wanted to ditch the car for a week as so many eateries and shops and walks on the doorstep. Finish the day in the hot tub to totally de stress

Nice house, but smaller than I expected, with very little airflow / ventilation in the summer

The house is lovely but more of a winter retreat that one for the summer. The rooms get very hot (granted we were in the middle of a heatwave), and there is only one small fan provided in the flat. There are no windows on the back of the sitting room area, so there is no venilation at all flowing thorugh the house on a hot day.

The entire house is smaller than it appears in the photos. The living room is a decent size, with a nice open plan kitchen. There are two small bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms upstairs, where you have to duck your head if you're tall. The outdoor space is also not very big, and shares the space with your car if you're using it to park as well. The jacuzzi is a lovely feature which we used on most evenings.

We had to ask for extra towels and a fresh change of sheets in the middle of the one week stay, as they weren't provided on entry.

Lastly, the kitchenware is mostly / all Ikea stuff that is on the lower end of their range -- not really on par with the premium price paid for the stay.

Motez, thank you for sharing your feedback. The owners have purchased another fan for the bedrooms, there were originally two, but one seems to have been misplaced, also a taller fan for the downstairs area in case this is needed Typically, the property remains at a comfortable temperature, however I am aware that your booking fell at the time of an extreme heatwave in the UK. Guests are able to get a good feel for the size of the accommodation from the photos, 3D tour and also the floorplan provided online. Typically, a mid-stay clean and linen refresh is only provided for stays of 9 nights or more. It is however possible to arrange additional linen and towels if requested prior to arrival. Please note that this may be at an extra cost. We’ve not received any other feedback about the kitchenware, other than a suggestion of larger mugs which the owners have ordered. Overall, we do hope that you had an enjoyable stay at The Old Candle Shop.

Lovely place to stay

The Old Candle shop was a lovely place to stay. It is beautifully presented and well equipped. Although in the heart of Moreton in Marsh it is surprisingly private. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! Would love to stay again.

We arrived to not being able to open the garage door. We had to have the maintenance man come out. It took about two hours for him to arrive but fortunately we were not going out. He did indicate that this was not an uncommon problem.
We had to pick broken glass out of the patio.
The barbecue was disgusting and clearly not cleaned after a number of uses. The hot tub had scum all round the sides. There was food in the freezer which hadn’t been emptied out for previous occupants.
The house had everything you needed and decorated and kitted out to a very good standard apart from the sofa bed which seemed to be broken.
I had a very bad slip coming out of the hot tub as there was no rail. I smashed my head and hand which we reported to Stay Cotswolds and the owners never even asked if I was ok but when we accidentally brought home a cake slice they were very quick to ask for that to be returned which we did by signed for post.
The property is right on the road so be aware you can literally hear people’s conversations word for word as they pass but whether you are in the courtyard or in bed.
Not sure if we would recommend to anyone but unfortunately there is no “ not sure” opinion.



StayCotswold replied more than 1 year ago
We are sorry to hear that not everything was as expected for your stay at The Old Candle Shop and that you needed to call upon the maintenance man. The garage door is operated by a key fob and as outlined in the welcome letter, if a guest pulls the cord (rather than using the fob) this will override the automatic function which then needs to be reset by the owner or property manager. Thank you for sharing your feedback about the hot tub, patio and freezer, we have informed the property manager and housekeeper so that they can ensure these areas are not an issue again in future. For anything like this, we would always encourage guests to contact the property manager at the time of a stay as they are on hand to help resolve any issue in the hope that guests will have the most enjoyable and comfortable stay. Guests are responsible for cleaning the BBQ after each use, I’m sorry that this had been missed and for the inconvenience caused. We very much hope that you have now fully recovered from your slip and am sorry that the enjoyment of your stay has been somewhat spoilt by this experience and the problems you have shared. The Old Candle Shop is a beautiful property and as testimony to the many great reviews, guests typically have a wonderful stay here.

Perfect

Brilliant central location!! We used it as a base for walking the monarchs way and used the local bus services to Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the water to do this in stages. It worked really well! The Manor house Hotel, Raj Mahal and the Moreton Beer cellar are worth a visit and fresh croissant and sourdough from Otis and Belle in the mornings made it all feel very continental. We didn’t use the hot tub but really appreciated the large table for suppers outside. The living space is excellent, the bedrooms were incredibly warm at night. We would’ve liked some larger mugs for tea and coffee and the saucepans were all a little too small!

This was the second time we have visited the beautiful Cotswold. The Old Candle Shop in Moreton-in-Marsh has a real wow factor. Tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Well equipped modern kitchen, 2 fridges and a wine cooler. Large lounge, dining area, utility room, downstairs cloakroom, 2 double bedrooms both with its own bathrooms. The courtyard for alfresco dining and a hot tub a real bonus. Situated in a lane, a few steps from the convenience of being in the pretty thriving town of Morton-in-Marsh where there are lovely tea rooms, coffee shops, pubs, supermarkets and independent shops etc. plus a weekly market and walkable swing park for the children.
Morton-in-Marsh is ideally situated for visiting other beautiful places in the Cotswold. A Great Find.

Myself and my wife stayed here with our elderly dog in October 2021.
This is a brilliant property, superbly converted to a high standard and in a location which is fantastic for all the local high street, shops and social scene.
We used the hot tub a few times which was fun and it was great to have an enclosed secure space for both the car and the dog.
Our only suggestion for improvement is to divide the very large “lounge” into two separate spaces, a TV “snug” and a social area for friends/drinks. Not a big deal but the area isn’t very cosy currently.
Overall, we loved it and will return one day to further explore the Cotswolds.
Highly recommended. DC

There has been substantial investment here to make a lovely holiday home. 5* cleanliness and comfortable beds. The seating in the lounge is not very comfortable and lack of a wardrobe for those sleeping on the bed settee is a must. An additional tv in one of the bedrooms would be a bonus. Would we book again- definitely.

Thank you for the lovely review Victor, it's great to hear you had a wonderful stay and would book The Old Candle Shop again! The property is set up to comfortably accommodate 4 guests with an additional sleeping option of a +2 should guests wish to use this. We do however appreciate your feedback and will share this with the owners. We hope to see you again sometime soon!
