Well this is a beautiful house and cottage in a perfect location. We made use of both as we were a group of 6
The house provided nearly everything we needed.
The issues we raised are simple to fix and we hope that they are taken on board. The extractor fan in the top bathroom is still not repaired and causes damp issues, the shower in that room runs far too hot and definitely needs resolving as it means the guests have to use another bathroom. The extractor over the oven does not work causes a few cooking issues. The glassware would be really lovely if it all matched and there was more.
Stay Cotswolds are a superb company and attentive staff. So I am sure they will work to resolve these matters.

Our 3rd or possibly 4th stay in this wonderful cottage. It’s absolutely perfect for a relaxing Cotswolds Stay. Main square in Stow is a couple of minutes walk and the best Cotswolds Restaurant- The Old Butcher’s - directly opposite the cottage! We’ll be back. The Newbold family from Coventry

Bag End is an amazing English cottage. Perfect location and great gardens. It was perfect for our family holiday. Very clean and equipped with everything you need for our stay. Staycotswold made it very easy to book and answered any questions. They returned emails quickly. Stow-on-the-Wold is the best village. Coffee shops, restaurants, pubs, shopping is steps away. The best fish and chips is two doors down. This cottage was a highlight of our holiday. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend.

We had a wonderful family weekend away and used both Bag End and Peppercorn as we were 3 couples and a baby. Overall we loved the place. The location is wonderful and we felt warm and cosy. Our only comments would be that Peppercorn does not have an extractor fan in the bathroom which is an issue because the wardrobes are in there and my clothes were feeling damp after 2 days. Also more glassware is needed as there are only 4 champagne glasses and we had a celebration evening in the cottage and not enough glasses for the 6 of us.

We’ve just had a lovely 3 nights at Bag End, a great venue for our family to meet up and enjoy some time in Stow.
The property is plenty big enough to accommodate a family group and to allow some space for privacy too.
We enjoyed the garden and the early autumn sunshine and found plenty of walks from the door.
Would thoroughly recommend.

Our group of 5 had a delightful stay at Bag End/Peppercorn. My husband and I were in the little cottage out back. We were surprised to find a lovely, quintessential English garden and courtyard with big table and chairs joining the two cottages. The location was perfect! Right off the Main Street, just steps from wherever we wanted to go in town. Communication was very good. The manager allowed us an extra towel which was a big help for a week-long stay. I recommend this property!

Stayed in Bag End and Peppercorn cottage for 6 days as a family of 4 with our dog. The cottage is in the perfect location, literally 1-min walk to town and access to shops, cafes and restaurants. Bag end cottage was perfect for us, lots of dining space, cosy living room and good sized bedrooms. We also made use of Peppercorn cottage which is a lovely cottage annexe across a beautiful courtyard and was perfect for one of the family to get away with her own space. The courtyard also has a lovely dining area, although we only used it once with some late evening sun.

Owners provided everything we needed with washing and drying facilities, towels etc..good Wi-Fi as well which is particularly important for the kids !

Stow is a busy town and parking was tricky sometimes but we always managed to get a space pretty close to the cottage. But it is a lovely town with great facilities and great choice of places to eat and drink with some lovely boutique shops.

Owners were great, particularly after a mishap we had with one of the keys and would definitely recommend the cottage for a stay in Stow.

We had the best stay at Bag End and Peppercorn cottage! The location was amazing not only in Stow but, a short drive all around the Cotswolds. The garden was such a treat and I could have stayed in the atrium room all day. Great hosts and everything we could have asked for! Highly recommend!

An outstanding property. Very charming and in a great location. Would definitely return. The flowers were in bloom in the courtyard and my family, and I hung out there frequently. Sitting back there made you feel like you were in your own world. Really nice place.

Both Bag End cottage and Peppercorn cottage are both delightful and well appointed, and we very much enjoyed out stay. The garden, too is very attractive. It was good to have the use of a barbecue, but we couldn't n find any BBQ utensils so had to use shorter-handled, smaller ones from the kitchen. Also with regard to cooking,,it took some time to work out how to get the gas hobs to work, but we managed, with perseverance. It was quite difficult to get the lock to the outer door of the conservatory to engage, but as the garden is so secure it was only a problem when leaving. However, these are only minor quibbles and they did not detract from our enjoyment of staying in the cottages..

We stayed at Bag End and Peppercorn with our two adult daughters, sons in law, and 17-month old and it was a perfect base while in the Cotswolds for a wedding at Cripps Barn. Each couple had their own room and bath, and the family with the baby was able to have a friend join them in the cottage as a nanny for our stay, using the fold out bed. Happily the parents of the bride were stationed across the street at their own rental, and the opening night party was right up the street at the Porch House. If only the weather had been better we would have made full use of the lovely garden, but the sunroom/conservatory was wonderful for morning coffee - so much light plus heated floors!

Wonderful dinner our first night at the Old Butchers across the street - fantastic food and service!
Excellent coffee at Stow Coffee right up the street; and we had fresh bread from Otis & Belle every morning.

Ali was a great help on our second day, when the heat and water heater went out in the cottage - apparently a boiler problem, easily fixed. She also provided a nice tip for a quick outing to Daylesford Farm Store, which worked out well on the wedding day when we didn't have enough time to venture farther away.

Comfy beds, charming rooms, well equipped kitchen, nice outdoor space (weather permitting). We appreciated the photo of QEII as well. :-)

Booked last minute for a long weekend. The cottage was clean and absolutely lovely, great location in the centre of town. Beautiful garden and I can see how the two properties can work for 6 people, although we didn’t use peppercorn cottage. A few minor considerations it’s an old house with uneven floors and wouldn’t suit anyone who’d struggle with this, there were a few things that could do with an update, the kitchen is showing wear and tear as is some of the furniture, however not so bad that I wouldn’t visit again. The property is dog friendly and very secure for your pooch. Really enjoyed our stay and dealing with the staff who were very friendly and helpful pre stay.
