Guests say

Copperbeech cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold is highly praised for its homely feel, well-equipped kitchen, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate its proximity to local amenities, cosy and comfortable interiors, and the lovely garden. While there are minor suggestions for improvements and isolated maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many guests eager to return.

The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous reviews mentioning its pristine condition upon arrival. However, one detailed negative review citing cleanliness issues prevents a perfect score.

The location is consistently lauded for being central and convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and picturesque surroundings, making it an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Comfort is a strong point for Copperbeech, with guests finding the beds cosy and the living spaces warm and inviting. The presence of a wood burner adds to the overall comfort, although one comment about a thick duvet suggests personal preferences may vary.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. However, some reviews point out minor maintenance issues and suggestions for additional amenities, such as a coffee machine and draught excluder, which slightly lower the score.

Guests feel well-cared for with thoughtful touches throughout the cottage, including a welcome basket. While such gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for 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. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals.

    It is the most Christmassy place I know & I fell in love with it many years ago. This was our third visit to Copperbeech. We’ve stayed in 6 different cottages in Stow & this is our favourite. It’s comfortable, warm (I love the wood burner), spacious & well-equipped. The bed in the en-suite is so comfortable

  • Samantha

    The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was spacious and fully stocked for cooking any meal and the living area was cosy. The only negative issue, or suggestion, is that there was one night's wood supplied and we were there for 7 nights. When we enquired as to being provided with further wood, the response was that we had to get our further fire supplies. Other than that, the location is superb: Stow-on-the-wold is the perfect base for the Cotswolds and the cottage is lovely.

  • Kelly

    Upon arrival the cottage was squeaky clean and very well equipped - the welcome basket and milk in the fridge was a nice touch, thank you! We stayed for three nights and by the end, none of us wanted to leave. I would definitely recommend Copperbeech Cottage and I hope I get to stay there again. Thank you!
