"There were a number of light bulbs not working throughout the property, the most inconvenient being the lights to the property entrance. This made key collection from the safe at night extremely difficult due to it being pitch black! Perhaps a quick bulb check could be made before guests arrive? Also, on our arrival the refuse and recycling bins were almost full. We were lead to believe that the bin collection woupd be during our stay and the bins were placed onto the road, presumably by the housekeeper. However this wasn’t the case as the bin collection is fortnightly. As a consequence, when we left the bins were over flowing. Perhaps provision should be made for refuse to be removed after guests have left the property? Finally, the Roman blind in the kitchen was found to be broken. This and the non working light bulbs I reported directly to the office, during our stay."

"Manor Cotts did get these working ( although I think there may be an ongoing issue with the heating system which I have reported) and also kindly offered financial compensation.\ From the owner: ''The central heating and boiler system has just been fully replaced. The drop in pressure that was experienced by two guests in October has now been rectified. Annoyingly the broadband connection was interrupted during the same week. This was a one-off caused by a cross wire at the exchange. It was rectified the day after it occurred. However, our deepest apologies for any inconvenience that was experienced. We really do try and maintain the cottage to the highest possible standard ""

"With a car there are many things/places to see within 30mins drive. Stow is a beautiful small town, with plenty of shops (particularly for food) within 5 minutes' walk. Lovely, very old house (mind your head!). Aga stove for cooking and nice dining area. The kitchen is extremely well setup with loads of cooking pots and utensils (and, unusually, a really good set of cooking knives). Very cosy and decent-sized lounge, with stove burner in the fireplace. The hosts were very friendly and helpful in the lead-up to staying there, and everything was immaculate when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this place and these hosts.\ via airbnb, Stephen, October 2016"

"The manor was very lovely, kitchen was very well equipped. We were also welcomed with a bottle of wine and some biscuits. The best part was the fireplace which came prepared and all we had to do was to light a match to get it going. The owners also left ample firewood and coal throughout our stay. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! The manor was very beautiful and cosy to stay in. We were lucky to be visiting when Stow and the surrounding towns had fireworks. On 2 nights, we could see ..."
