This property is laid out over three floors and guests with young children should note that the property has steep staircases, particularly up to the second floor, and the front door opens directly onto the road outside. There are also ceilings throughout and low beams on the stairs up to the second floor, which could make it difficult to carry an infant up the stairs. Consequently, guests with young children and infants should carefully assess if the property is suitable for them 
Please note Heath Cottage is located on Wraggs Row, a small lane that runs parallel to the A429 (Fosse Way), just off Back Walls
The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk

Things to Note...
Hen and Stag parties are not permitted
Events are not permitted without prior consent
A security deposit is required at this property
Check in is from 16:00 and check out is by 10:00
The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates

Great location

We had a great stay here, it is so convenient to walk into Stow itself and did a great 6km loop walk around the local countryside. The house was comfortable and located opposite Majestic Wine and M&S which was great for picking up food and drink whilst we were there. A few extra loo rolls, bigger towels for longer than a 1 night stay, and mini shampoo/conditioner would have been great for that extra special touch.

Such a great find

Heath Cottage was perfect for the 5 of us. Loved the quirky bedrooms with comfortable beds. Great location, yes it’s on a main road but once inside you don’t notice and there’s parking. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather so had breakfast in the garden each morning. My only negative is we couldn’t find a tea tray such a minor thing from a great weekend of pure escapism!

New year stay.

Lovely little cottage with room for us all - 4 adults and a toddler. Only trouble was when the washing machine was on for baby stuff, the draining water flooded the kitchen. Came right under the door from outside, so we only used it once! Otherwise we had a great time. Close to the town centre to walk in and enough parking for both cars.

Wonderful stay - we’ve booked for next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Heath Cottage. We do an annual Cotswold trip just before Christmas and I’m so glad we found this cottage. Everything was perfect! A few cobwebs but that’s to be expected in an old house. Very glad that things like washing up liquid, soap and dishwasher tablets were provided. The bedlinen was beautiful and the beds so comfy! The lounge was most definitely ours (and our mini dachshunds) favourite room with the lovely log burner. We have booked for next year and cannot wait to come back!

Fantastic location but could be better equipped

Great location and lovely old cottage, which was warm and inviting when we arrived. However, there was no privacy in the living room as there was a window blind missing - this room faces the main road so anyone passing could look in. The ceiling lights in the dining room did not work but there were lamps that could be used instead, the thermostat was hanging off the wall. There was ample crockery but on the whole the kitchen was poorly equipped and in desperate need of a refurb.

Lovely House, Great Location, Fews missed comforts

The house itself was beautiful, although it’s worth stating that the stairs are very steep and slippy (varnished floors) and ceilings are very low, so getting up and down them is hard (a lot of head banging). There were a few dusty spots with large old cobwebs hanging at the top of the stairs. The house was kept very warm which was good. Sadly there was no Tin foil, hand wash (in any bathroom), dish clothes, dish washer tablets or tea towels. We had to go shopping as soon as we got there but left it behind for the next guests. Washing your hands should be a bare minimum. It was located very well near the centre and just a stones throw for all the shops.

6/10 Okay

Served its purpose but could have been better!

Although a very quaint cottage that is expected in the Cotswold, the property needs some touch ups. With it being dog friendly, you can smell this in the house and upholstery. There is also an issue with the upstairs bathroom (shower) leaking to downstairs. Although not a huge issue whilst being there, I am sure the landlord would prefer this to be fixed before it creates further damage. The cottage is located just off the main road and parking was fine, on street. There was plenty of crockery and amenities (although no coffee granules left). There is an M&S petrol station across the road which was handy. Located closely to the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold. The Porch House was lovely for Dinner! Overall, the cottage served its purpose but could have been cleaner.

Mixed feelings

The property location is something of a double-edged sword. Very close to all the amenities of Stow but yards from the very busy A429, with its heavy traffic, including a fair few emergency vehicles hurtling past. Weather was warm but given traffic noise, opening bedroom windows wasn’t an attractive option. Property is either quaint or given steep stairs, low ceilings and awkward layout of 2 bedrooms in the eaves, a bit annoying, depending on your point of view, though to be fair, it was alluded to in the literature. It was clean overall but extractor fans weren’t working in the upstairs bathroom and there was some staining to soft furnishings. It was pretty well equipped and did the job but given the above, probably won’t return.

Short break in Stow

Lovely quirky cottage just a short walk from Stow centre. Bonus of allocated parking for when its busy.
