The Perfect Getaway
Oxbow Cottage was the perfect place for the peaceful getaway my wife and I sought. It was charming and quaint. It was clean and provided everything we needed from kitchenware to linens and towels. The location was beautiful and the people we encountered were kind and courteous. Should we visit Stow again, we will definitely be booking our stay at Oxbow Cottage.

The cottage is well maintained and in a lovely, quiet location. However, it is only a short walk to Stow on the Wold for the shops and restaurants. It was very relaxing!

Idyllic cottage
Great location, so tranquil, loved all the walks on the doorstep. You don’t need to use your car. Stow only a 10/15 minutes walk where there are an abundance of shops, good quality restaurants, bars and cafes. Dog friendly too.
The cottage was comfortable, beautifully clean and had everything you needed.
Absolutely loved our stay, thank you!

Well located for Stow on the Wold. The property was well equipped and very clean. Parking adjacent the cottage was a bonus. Our only negative observation was that more comfy outdoor furniture would be beneficial. Overall a very nice cottage which we would recommend

Perfect Cotswold stay
We loved our stay at Oxbow Cottage. It was the perfect base for our Cotswold visit. The location was beautiful in the countryside yet a short walk into Stow on Wold where there were delightful restaurants, pubs, wine bars and shopping. It gave us easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. It was perfect. We would love to go back one day.

Delightful cottage with lovely views
Delightful cottage in a quiet hamlet with lovely views and yet just a short walk away up into Stow and all it facilities, restaurants, shops etc.
Comfortable bed and sofa. Lovely double shower and a well kitted out kitchen.We took our dog who thoroughly enjoyed the large paddock for safe off lead exercise. Plenty of parking on the drive. Various places to visit just a short drive away and plenty of walks directly from the cottage.

Nice cottage, good location.
Overall really enjoyed the solitude but being close to Stow. 1/2 mile walk to town. Small cottage but was enough. We had a couple of small issues but property management was right on it. Cooked in the kitchen a few times - stove is a little challenging to understand. Same with washer/dryer. Peaceful setting.

Great short stay in this clean and well equipped cottage
This was a last minute booking but we were not disappointed. The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and the accomodation was exactly as described in the listing. A nice surprise was the good standard of kitchen equipment (especially a set of sharp knives!) which was better than often found in ths type of property. The owner was friendly and helped out with a couple of maintenance points very promptly. We will definitely stay again.
