Three nights with 2 old friends

The house is small but charming and interesting. Very well appointed & equipped. When we were there the weather was perfect and the highlight was the little terrace at the top of the garden - a little sun trap with a great view. Perfect for a sun down glass is chilled white. Good stay.

À Lovely stay in a character filled cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this attractive and cosy cottage. It was very well equipped and fairly comfortable, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The setting is lovely and peaceful. The only downside for us was that it wasn’t very practical to walk into town in the evening, and the road between the parking area and the cottage was quite busy. Overall, a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

A Cotswold Short Break

We enjoyed an excellent break at the Spa Changing Rooms. An ideal location allowed us to make good use of our time in the area. Quirky staircases led to really comfortable bedrooms. This unusual accommodation was well equipped and made for a lovely stay. Thank you.

Ideal Cotswald stay

Gorgeous little property, with lovely quiet garden looking out over the wonderful countryside. Immaculately clean property, very well equipped with quality appliances and crockery etc. Extremely close and convenient to Stow on th Wald and numerous other Cotswald villages. Our daughter was performing in the Opera at Longborough, this was our main reason for the visit, and so decided to make a long weekend of it, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Well equipped accommodation with a lot of character

Very happy with our stay at Spa Cottages. This is a building with an interesting history. The layout is a bit quirky but that only adds to the experience. The place was well prepared for our arrival and is very well equipped - plenty of cutlery and tableware - and everything is good quality. As can be seen from the photos, this is a pretty small property but it was fine for our group of five adults for our three-night break. We stayed in March and had a couple of beautiful sunny days so were able to make use of the garden, which has a lovely view. Location is good for most of the popular Cotswold towns. Lower Swell itself is pretty small but it's only a 15 minute walk up to Stow-in-the-Wold, which has lots of pubs and cafes (can't see it from Google maps but there's an easy and safe footpath that runs alongside the road). Overall, a very nice place to stay for a short break. And good comms from the rental agent StayCotswold throughout.

Great Area with amenities close by

It was just a 6 day short stay for 3 of us who were looking forward to a rest and relaxation after a harrowing time. The situation of the cottage was excellent for this part of the Cotswolds and we made the most of it during our stay. The cottage was small and quirky but welcoming and the beds were clean and comfortable. It was lovely to sit in the warm sunshine at the top of the garden and to look over the extensive countryside and fields. The cottage was easy to find and handy for all amenities.

Quaint cottage

Charming cottage with period features, comfortable beds and well equipped for an enjoyable stay. We particularly liked the open countryside views from the top of the garden. The cottage was in a great location to explore the cotswolds, being within 30 mins drive of bourton on the water, the slaughters, bibury and Sudeley castle. The front of the cottage was right on the roadside but the traffic was quiet later in the day

Our visit to Stow on the Wold

A great place to experience cottage life in the Cotswolds in a quaint historical home. The modern day conveniences were very much appreciated, and offered an interesting contrast to life of a few centuries ago. The only suggestion we would offer is to make sure you drive a car to the property, as walking on the highway to town is not very safe.

We arrived to the house and it was cold, but after I sent a text to the owners they turned the heating on, and it was perfect. Perfect cottage, perfect location, in the middle of the Cotswolds. I’ll be back.

A week at 2 Spa Changing Rooms

The property was in very good condition. Kitchen and bathroom etc all fitted out to a high standard. The cottage front door is just 3 feet from the B road to Stow. We were four adults staying so did not bother us but might if you have small children. Whilst we were there the road was closed due to bridge repairs. The neighbours said it would normally be busy. Due to the size of the bedrooms there is limited amount of storage space. Overall a nice cottage nicely furnished and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely stay in the Cotswolds!

Firstly - Stay Cotswold were very helpful and amenable to questions and requests. The property is beautiful and an in a beautiful area. I was saying hello to the sheep with my morning coffee. The property is full of character but despite that the property has a modern kitchen and bathroom and was very comfortable to stay in. The property owners were also very kind both before and throughout our stay and as our stay was over the Christmas period, had decorated - that was much appreciated! The nearby villages are very nice and the pub within walking distance is a big plus. Great food in Stow and lovely walks all around. Important to remember that this is an old building, and although it is clear on the website, it should be taken into account that accessibility for those with difficulty to the top bedroom would be difficult. Thanks for a great stay!

Did the job, view from garden on good day just the ticket

A very well maintained property with comfy beds and a good bathroom with good attention to detail including umbrellas. Only two of us staying and it worked for us for a few days but would not fully recommend for larger groups as space limited. Seating for kitchen good, chairs in lounge and in rooms and landing far to petite for practical comfortable use, bit like a dolls house - worth a rethink. Gonks a bit eirie too. Advertised pod coffee machine not found. A few essential would have been nice like milk and coffee (a few tea bags provided only). On a busy road but easy walk to Stow, a pub and a very pretty walk to Upper Swell. View from the garden seating fabulous.

Thank you Heather for your review of Spa Changing Rooms. We are delighted to hear that you found the property to be well maintained, to have comfortable beds and in a convenient location to walk to Stow. We are sorry to hear that the seating did not match your personal level of comfort. The coffee machine had unfortunately been broken by a previous guest so it was removed. The property listing has now been updated to reflect this. We do hope that you will be back to stay again soon!

Review

Hello, the house was clean and in good condition. The top of microwave was really dirty only realised as had to make dinner for my daughter. And no toaster in the house? Also the stairs to the top bedroom are really steep not ideal for a 2.5 year old and I thought the rooms were all on one level as per the photos. We had a lovely stay though. Thanks

Thank you Abbey for your review of Spa Changing Rooms. We are pleased to hear that you found the house to be clean and in a good condition. The property listing shows the floor plan of the property which clearly shows that the property is spread over 3 floors and also prewarns about the traditional features of this Grade II listed property such as low beams and steep stairs. We hope you will be back to stay again soon!

Lovely short break

We had a lovely week in Spa Changing Rooms - it is a lovely period property, very handily located near Stow-on-the-Wold and just up the road from Lower Swell, which has lovely traditional pub (The Golden Ball) doing lovely Sunday lunches. The cottage is very well equipped, with a good sized kitchen, dining area and living room downstairs, and comfortable bedrooms on the upper floors. The stairs are steep and winding but perfectly manageable. Entry to the attic room is through a low doorway, but OK if you're reasonably agile, and the room therein is a good sized single. Bathroom is also spacious and with modern fittings. The shower is not too powerful, but does the job. Rooms are well equipped with TVs, and plenty of sockets/USB points, and there are books/DVDs/games available. The cottage is on a main road, so there is passing traffic, but not obtrusive. Plenty of parking directly across the road (although on one evening, someone else had pinched the space for Spa Changing Rooms) and nice outdoor space. A slight mark down for comfort as the chairs in the living room aren't the biggest, for kicking back and relaxing after enjoying a day out - rather short in the seat - would be the one criticism of the facilities provided. All in all though, a really pleasant stay.

Family of 5 stayed over Christmas - and loved it!

Having stayed in this cottage 10 years ago on honeymoon, we celebrated our anniversary by spending a week here again over Christmas. This time we had our 3 children with us. The kids loved the character of the cottage, and we all found it extremely comfortable for our entire stay. All facilities worked well, including the well-appointed kitchen that did us proud for Christmas dinner and lots more home-cooking throughout our stay. The bedrooms were excellent for our needs. Our two littlest shared the second bedroom and were perfectly safe. Our eldest had his secret cave bedroom on the second floor. Option of child gate on every bedroom door is great, but we didn’t need to use them. Our kids coped fine with the stairs, too. Safety locks on the windows also a reassuring feature. We found this was a theme. Everything has been thought through and there are so many sensible decisions made by the owners that enabled us to not be without anything, and to relax fully, knowing everything was in hand. We already knew the location was excellent, and we did a circular walk to Upper Swell, stopping in the pub. Also walked into Stow twice during our stay. 10 minutes in the car to meeting Santa at Cotswolds Farm Park, and really close to Bourton, too. Amazing. Couldn’t fault the cottage or the communication beforehand, giving us plenty of information, and timely texts about passcodes etc. Made the whole process stress-free for us. I’m sure we’ll be back before long for another stay. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely stay.

This beautiful and historic cottage was well appointed, with everything you could need or want, to enjoy a relaxing stay in Stow On The Wold. The cottage was beautifully maintained, wonderful towels provided, and the kitchen was well equipped! I would highly recommend staying here! We loved our time here so much. We walked down to Lower Swell, 5 minute walk, to eat at the Golden Ball. Then a quick walk to the public or parish path up to the village, 15 minute walk. I will remember our time here fondly!
