Honeywick Cottage - Pet friendly in Stow-on-the-Wold

Honeywick Cottage is ideally situated in the ever-popular North Cotswolds region and is an ideal base for discovering the regions best loved gems. Step outside your front door and you're moments from independent boutiques, tearooms, and some of the regions finest pubs and restaurants.

If you are looking for a relaxing break, this charming Cotswold cottage is just the place. Start the day with a stroll to a nearby bakery before easing into the morning with breakfast at the dining table, overlooking the beautiful garden views. The open plan living area is a wonderful communal space where you can spend time together no matter what your chosen activity may be. If you fancy staying in for the evening, rustle up a feast in the traditional kitchen before settling in by the crackling wood burner with a glass of wine. Two first floor bedrooms look across the garden and offer a tranquil respite with calming decor after a day strolling the streets of Stow-on-the-Wold.

Your time here will be divided between the cosy cottage and the spacious garden, both offering a perfect retreat. Unwind here enjoying a family BBQ on the terrace, reading a book in the sun, or simply watching the world go by, it's the ideal place to relax and take in the surroundings.

Honeywick Cottage

The actual door to the cottage isn’t exactly easy to find, being a walk from the keybox but once we were in we found a lovely cottage in a good location for the town. The place has character and a lovely garden area. The garden itself could do with a bit of TLC but to be fair, we were early in the season.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The communication with the host was good, and they offered well-detailed instructions. It's important because the place itself is a little hard to find, as the front door is hidden behind other cottages and down a little alleyway. The photo in the image is the back door, which also has access to the cute patio and yard area, and at the end is a giant yew tree and a gate that leads to the sidewalk of the main road leading into Stow. The house is very cozy, well-appointed. We lit a fire on most nights and listened to music and read in the downstairs area. The host has so many books on nature, cooking, and chick-lit. The hot water is plentiful so evening baths were amazing. Understanding that it is an old stone cottage and we were there early spring, some things in the garden were a little brown, and some things inside a little worn, but it feels lived in, loved, and it was a great stay. Clean all around, comfortable beds, nice towels, etc.

Good location and facilities; but issues with showers and cleanliness

Very good location and well equipped cottage. It has a nice garden with very good bbq which makes it great for a weekend with friends or family. However, the cottage was dirty and showers completely clogged.

Comfortable but disappointing

Honeywick Cottage is located conveniently to the center of Stow on the Wold. We enjoyed the outside patio on the day it was sunny and warm. We also found the beds comfortable, the cottage clean and the kitchen well supplied. While we had a lovely stay, the cottage was disappointing in several aspects. It was quite dark and a bit down at the heel. In addition, the information provided by Bolthole was inaccurate. There was no clothes dryer - only a washer. No instructions were left for appliance operation. The garbage and recycling bins were not where it stated they were - and no instructions as to which was for trash and which for recycling or what could be recycled. Also, the faucet in the kitchen was quite loose making one fear it would fall apart at any moment. There was confusing information about who the local contact person was, as well, so that it took a couple of days to find the right person. When we did finally reach the correct contact person after losing hot water, she was responsive and came the next day.

Great location but tired cottage

The Cottage was hard to locate in the dark, signposts and better lighting is needed. The Cottage was tired and in need of the paintwork repainting & the carpets need cleaning. The doormats need replacing. Both toilet seats were loose. There was a such an unpleasant smell in the second bedroom so we couldn’t use it. The bedding and towels had been washed in strong smelling washing powder it was quite over bearing. The bedding and towels would be better in plain white so you can tell they are clean. The cottage however is in a great location in Stow. It just needs some tlc.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Honeywick Cottage. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. The Property Manager has reviewed and taken action upon the points which were raised. Both toilet seats were repaired on the Sunday afternoon of the same weekend that the issue was reported. With regards to locating the property, two sets of solar lights have been installed to improve visibility. The area receives limited sunlight, particularly during the winter months, which has affected their performance. As the weather improves, better functionality is anticipated. Additionally, a property sign has been placed on the garage door to clearly indicate the designated parking area. A professional decorator will be attending the property to address any areas which require attention. With respect to the bedding, all linens are professionally cleaned and pressed prior to each stay. While preferences regarding patterns may vary, all bedding is presented to a high standard of cleanliness and care. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, which assists us in maintaining and improving the quality of our accommodation.

A great stay in a fab cottage in a super location

We had a really enjoyable long weekend. Honeywick Cottage is perfectly located, just a short stroll from the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold with its shops, pubs and cafés, which made everything very easy. The fully enclosed garden was a real highlight - great for our dog. We especially enjoyed breakfast out on the sunny patio. It wasn’t quite warm enough during our stay to make use of the pizza oven or BBQ, but it was great to see everything set up and ready for the warmer months. The kitchen was well equipped, with plenty of options for coffee lovers, which we appreciated. The Apotheke toiletries were also a lovely touch and added to the overall feel of the place. There were just a couple of small practical points worth mentioning. We found the instructions around waste and recycling a little unclear, as they referred to crates, bins and bags outside the door which we couldn’t locate. Also, it might also help future guests to know that the parking space is in front of the 'brown' garage marked with the cottage names "Honeywick Cottage" & "6 Yew Tree Cottages" - particularly as it doesn't mention the colour of the garage and also the cottage is referred to by two slightly different names. All in all, a very comfortable and well-cared-for cottage in a great Cotswolds location. We’d happily return.

Beautiful Cotswold cottage

Honeywick cottage was the perfect place for our holiday in the Cotswolds (from Canada). It's location in the gorgeous little town of Stow-on-the-Wold is excellent (and the town itself is very central). The parking space at the cottage was also very easy to access, & convenient. We were able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops in town, as well as easily go on several lovely day trips. We rented the cottage at the beginning of December and so it was very cozy & comfortable to come back to the cottage after being out all day. It has a well outfitted kitchen, a cute dining room and a very pretty sitting room to relax. It was very clean, and beautifully decorated. The backyard is really nice, we didn't use it much due to the time of year, but it gave us a lovely view. This is our second time renting from Bolthole Retreats, they are great to deal with. We would absolutely recommend this cottage, and hope to get back there again some day.

Lovely cottage - could be better with a few improvements

This cottage is within a short walk of the centre of Stow and benefits from a parking place - a good advantage in Stow. We visited in January so were not able to benefit from the nice looking garden. It has a good kitchen but no microwave. The lounge and dining area is spacious and comfortable and the whole place was pleasantly warm with lots of hot water on demand. The bed was comfortable and there is one shower and a bathroom. To be critical, it would benefit from a bit of detailed attention - chipped paint, a doorknob that came off in the hand, brush for the fire that fell apart and a toilet seat that had been recently put there judging from the labels still on it but had not been properly fastened. Overall, it was pleasant and there were no real "no-nos" but we have stayed in properties with a bit better "finish" to them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and balanced review. I’m really pleased to hear you enjoyed the location, parking, and overall comfort of the cottage, and that you found it a pleasant stay. I’m very sorry about the issues you mentioned which the Property Manager has addressed with the housekeeper, who has checked all of these items carefully and fixed whatever needed to be done. Thank you again for your feedback and I hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Cotswolds.

Great cottage in perfect location.

We had a lovely couple of days in Honey wick cottage. The location was great and there was more than enough room for 4 of us. The only slight downside to this cottage is that there is only one shower & it is located the en-suite bathroom. We also were not provided hand towels for the second bedroom / bathroom. We found the online instructions on which car park space was ours a bit confusing but one of the neighbours helped. However over all a great cosy cottage in a perfect location & would stay again.
