Lilac Cottage is right on the edge of the town. It is down a quiet cul-de-sac. You can walk into the centre of Stow in 5 minutes which is great as parking is not easy in the town centre. There are lots of restaurants to choose from in Stow so no need for a designated driver when you go for a meal. Stow has lots of interesting shops and is in a good centre for exploring th e Cotswolds. The cottage itself has a cosy cottage feel. We were just sorry it was not cold enough to light the fire that was all set up for us as this would have completed the picture! The bedrooms are a good size as is the bathroom. It is very clean and nicely decorated throughout. There is a lovely big garden at the back which would be lovely in the summer. Well stocked with essentials like washing up liquid ,loo rolls etc. We really enjoyed our stay.

Can't believe how great this cottage was the pics don't do it justice...clean, comfy and relaxing and great location for stow. So nice sitting at night in front of a log fire. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Was so impressed we have booked again for February and have a feeling we will be regulars

We appreciated the wine and box of biscuits and also the hiking sticks and lots of information and books about the area.
I would have given five stars but the oven trays had not been cleaned and this was not dealt with although it was reported. We also had problems with the alarm in the kitchen which kept buzzing as the battery was failing. The housekeeper told us to take out the battery but it took us four days to find out how to do it....our lack of experience of these things.
However these minor problems did not affect our enjoyment AND it is a lovely property.

Lilac Cottage exceeded all our expectations. It was quiet, very nicely furnished, comfortable and had every amenity we as first time visitors to the Cotswolds (from the US) could have needed or wanted. Access to nearby villages via rental car or by foot in many cases was easy. Each evening we had a myriad of very good restaurants to chose from; walking around the village of Stow-on-the-Wold day and evening was at our doorstep. I would highly recommend Lilac Cottage as the perfect cottage for a short or extended stay in the Cotswolds!
