Strange damp smell in living/dining room.
Not enough space for 4 people to comfortably watch TV.
Boiler in twin room very close to the bed head! and makes humming sound at 4 00am and 5am disturbing sleep.
No hooks for coats etc.
Soap holder needed in shower in twin room.
Unable to close bathroom door in double bedroom.

A small quaint accommodation with adequate resources (tea, cleaning products etc).
The decor is a little tired through wear and tear (stains on kettle and carpets).
The beams are beautiful and the facilities are good quality.
The bedrooms were very comfortable and the showers and baths in good working order.
A super place re parking and accessibility to the town.
We had no neighbours so it was extremely quiet.
Would return...

I personally just loved the Old Workshop. Loved the decor, everything about it!
It was in the perfect position, ideal for centre of Stow, yet quiet and secluded.
We did a few walks from the door. Visited most of the pubs, cafes and shops in Stow.
Four of us stayed easily for one night (night before our eldest son’s wedding). Then perfect for just the two of us for the rest of the stay.
I know other people have mentioned the smell, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for us. I would love to stay again, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts ❤️
Now for the practicalities! The door of the dishwasher was a little loose, but otherwise kitchen was ideal. TBF didn’t cook anything so can’t comment further.
Would have liked a starter pack of a few tea bags /coffee, but the Co-op opposite was open so issue resolved easily.
Had everything we needed i.e. hairdryer, iron and ironing board, plenty of wardrobe space, dressing table in the bedroom with mirror.
Not sure if there were any coat hooks by the front door
Able to park car outside at 5:00 to unload and the two hour restriction finishes at 6:00, so didn’t need to move car until 11:00 next day. Was able to park in Well Lane or in Tesco’s Car park during the day, until came time to load up and leave.
No hesitation to recommend a stay at the Old Workshop

The Old Workshop is a great little two bedroom property at the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, very central, good location.
The property is a great conversion, nicely done, two bedroom, two bathroom property.
We had a few small snagging issues, but they can be managed easily.
One thing, as the property is a conversion of an old property, and with no damp proofing, there was a musty smell, strong at times, but this could be remedied by a humidifier or plug-ins or similar, this is probably less of an issue in drier months.
BUT, this would not stop us recommending the place as a great venue to stay.

The whole process in renting from Stay Cotswold - from the initial booking to our departure from our property - was effortless.

My family and I stayed at the Old Workshop in the Market Square at Stow on The Wold for the Cheltenham Festival. The location, comfort, cleanliness and value for money was exemplary and I can thoroughly recommend both this property and Stay Cotswold if you have a small family and are considering a short stay in Stow.

The cottage is beautifull, very tipical and romantic, with a warm and comfortable furniture, to be in the center of Stow-on-the-Wold is Great BUT unfortunately there was an unbearable musty smell. Especially in the double bedroom, which being without a window cannot be ventilated.
It has been hard to sleep there smelling the bad smell.
To be honest, it would be worth pointing out in the description that a room is without windows and it would be recommended to install a dehumidifier.

Lovely property for the two of us in great location. Handy parking outside to unload but overnight parking a distance away if your not good at walking far. Place was spotlessly clean. The four for comfort is only that the settee was a bit firm for our liking but that's a personal thing.

Unable to sleep in the twin bedroom due to the noise from the heating system which is located in the wardrobe.
A fire in the sitting room would be nice even if it was only an electric fire.

Apartment was clean, cosy, modern but with character, and great location in the middle of town. Beds big and super comfy, though sofa in the lounge was a bit of a squeeze!

We enjoyed our stay in The Old Workshop. As there were only two of us, we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes we needed. Washer/dryer worked well. There was plenty of hot water and the provided towels were huge and fluffy. The location was excellent with plenty of great restaurants and the food co-op very close by, as was the bus stop and tourist information center. The welcome book was full of useful information. It was easy to park in the town center for loading and unloading.

This property is every bit as good as the photos and previous reviews, situated right in the centre of Stow on the Wold, and surrounded by quality eateries and some fantastic shops and galleries. The quality of even the linen and towels were of the highest quality. Now to the customer service, Stay Cotswold were professional and helpful throughout, having vacated the property at the end of our stay, and upon arriving home I discovered I had left my wallet behind, a simple phone call to them was all it took, their housekeeping team ( Cotswolds Property Services Limited) found my wallet and are returning it by registered post and signed for, at no cost to me, will be looking to rebook with them again.

What a perfect place to stay. Immaculate and homely. Beds felt like sinking into marshmallows. Peaceful retreat with everything you could need. We took our elderly dad and the location was perfect and only one step into the property. Cafes shops and bars within a few minutes walk . A few flies in courtyard was the only negative but think it was due to weather. And fly traps were plentiful. Umberella was useful some days.

Lovely ground floor flat right in the middle of the town. It was really cool inside during the heat of the day because of it’s location, but I asked for fans for the bedroom because I didn’t know that until I arrived, and they were provided for us by the owners.
Everything you need for a weeks break is there.
