Lovely stay in lovely cottage

Nepenthe provided the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds. The cottage had everything we needed and was fantastic to have 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Communication from Stay Cotswold was first class including all the pre- stay info. Shout iut to Natasha, the property manager. We had one very minor issue which she responded to immediately. Wonderful customer service. Highly recommend

Great stay in a lovely Cotswold town

Property was clean, warm (it was very cold outside!) and well thought out. Everything we needed was there with a cosy atmosphere, whilst being plenty big enough for 6 and a small dog. Location is great for exploring Stow. Recommended.

Nepenthe, Stow on the Wold with Stay Cotswold

Perfect stay in Nepenthe, georgous house, warm and cosy. Lots of atmosphere with a perfect location exactly what we needed. StayCotswold were so helpful in every way and very easy to deal with everything went perfectly smoothly, we couldn't recommend them more highly. On a light note .... following our request for good weather for our stay, they even provided that too. Thank you so much everyone.

Charming stay in a great location.

Our family rented Nepenthe for a few days and loved it! It's quaint and charming. Don't expect a modern, spacious apartment; the owners have managed to keep much of the old character, while still providing comfortable amenities. Location is great! The town is small, but large enough to offer restaurants and shops. The front door is just a 5 minute walk to the historic church and town center. There is street parking right at the front door, but finding an open spot can be a challenge. We had to walk a few blocks to park most days, but the walk was a pleasant one. We left behind a set of Airpods, and the staff emailed us to tell us they found them, then mailed them to us in the U.S. Great service!

Family break at Nepenthe

A very comfortable stay in the centre of Stow on the Wold in a very well equipped and clean cottage. StayCotswold very helpful with advice on restaurants whilst visiting and came up trumps with a lost item.

We have stayed at Nepenthe before

We have stayed at Nepenthe on numerous occasions when the previous owner owed it. So we were very disappointed to see the same small tv still there in the same cabinet. Also even though there are new sofas they were very uncomfortable. We also thought the back garden could do with a freshen up or total refurbishment. These are the only things I could find that we didn’t like. The cottage is in a fabulous location walkable to the village and most other villages are a 20 minute drive. The log burner made the cottage so cosy on rainy days. We really enjoyed our stay if the three things are addressed I would say Nepenthe would be wow.

Perfect cottage

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Nepenthe in Stow on the Wold. A perfect cottage. Pretty, unusually spacious, immaculately clean and comfortably equipped with everything you could need on holiday. Its central location in Stow meant we were surrounded by super places to eat. Most notably the Old Butcher’s which is fabulous. We were also within a very easy drive to many of the best Cotswold villages. Altogether a fantastic break.

Lovely break in a gorgeous cottage in the centre of Stow

We've recently returned from a 4 night break at Nepenthe Cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold. What a perfect location, right in the centre of Stow, just a few steps from the pubs, restaurants and shops. The cottage was perfectly equipped for our break. The lounge was so comfortable and cosy, as were the bedrooms. It was very handy having the 3 bathrooms too. The kitchen was well-equipped too. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed with an illuminated Christmas Tree... what a great touch, so festive. The cottage is the perfect location for exploring not just Stow by foot, but also the wider Cotswolds area by car. The nearby restaurants, cafes, tea-rooms and pubs were great... we had so much choice! We look forward to staying at Nepenthe Cottage again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Family weekend away

We celebrated my husbands birthday here with our two adult children, their partners and our two dogs.The cottage was cozy warm, well equipped and immaculately clean. The host had left milk and cake for our arrival which was a nice touch. The log burner was a highlight which we enjoyed playing cards infront of each evening. We took a trip to another picturesque village, Lower Slaughter, for a lovely long walk and enjoyed a roast at the nearby, dog friendly, Bell pub. The only negative was the twin beds had not been made into a king as requested on our booking but overall a fantastic weekend and we would highly recommend.

A weekend celebration

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Nepenthe. The house was lovely, with everything that we needed to enjoy our time there. It's location was great, very central which meant we could easily explore Stow on the Wold with no need to use our car all the time. The facilities at the house were very good, the beds were very comfortable, bathrooms/ensuites were really nice, it has comfortable chairs and sofas and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The under floor heating in the well appointed kitchen was a real bonus.
