Nice cottage in a quiet, convenient location. The home was clean, well equipped, comfortable and had off street parking. We would definitely stay again.

Good location and facilities; but issues with showers and cleanliness
Very good location and well equipped cottage. It has a nice garden with very good bbq which makes it great for a weekend with friends or family. However, the cottage was dirty and showers completely clogged.

Great location but tired cottage
The Cottage was hard to locate in the dark, signposts and better lighting is needed.
The Cottage was tired and in need of the paintwork repainting & the carpets need cleaning. The doormats need replacing.
Both toilet seats were loose.
There was a such an unpleasant smell in the second bedroom so we couldn’t use it.
The bedding and towels had been washed in strong smelling washing powder it was quite over bearing.
The bedding and towels would be better in plain white so you can tell they are clean.
The cottage however is in a great location in Stow. It just needs some tlc.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Honeywick Cottage. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. The Property Manager has reviewed and taken action upon the points which were raised.
Both toilet seats were repaired on the Sunday afternoon of the same weekend that the issue was reported.
With regards to locating the property, two sets of solar lights have been installed to improve visibility. The area receives limited sunlight, particularly during the winter months, which has affected their performance. As the weather improves, better functionality is anticipated. Additionally, a property sign has been placed on the garage door to clearly indicate the designated parking area.
A professional decorator will be attending the property to address any areas which require attention.
With respect to the bedding, all linens are professionally cleaned and pressed prior to each stay. While preferences regarding patterns may vary, all bedding is presented to a high standard of cleanliness and care.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, which assists us in maintaining and improving the quality of our accommodation.

Beautiful Cotswold cottage
Honeywick cottage was the perfect place for our holiday in the Cotswolds (from Canada). It's location in the gorgeous little town of Stow-on-the-Wold is excellent (and the town itself is very central). The parking space at the cottage was also very easy to access, & convenient. We were able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops in town, as well as easily go on several lovely day trips. We rented the cottage at the beginning of December and so it was very cozy & comfortable to come back to the cottage after being out all day. It has a well outfitted kitchen, a cute dining room and a very pretty sitting room to relax. It was very clean, and beautifully decorated. The backyard is really nice, we didn't use it much due to the time of year, but it gave us a lovely view. This is our second time renting from Bolthole Retreats, they are great to deal with. We would absolutely recommend this cottage, and hope to get back there again some day.

Great cottage in perfect location.
We had a lovely couple of days in Honey wick cottage. The location was great and there was more than enough room for 4 of us. The only slight downside to this cottage is that there is only one shower & it is located the en-suite bathroom. We also were not provided hand towels for the second bedroom / bathroom. We found the online instructions on which car park space was ours a bit confusing but one of the neighbours helped. However over all a great cosy cottage in a perfect location & would stay again.

Lovely cottage - could be better with a few improvements
This cottage is within a short walk of the centre of Stow and benefits from a parking place - a good advantage in Stow. We visited in January so were not able to benefit from the nice looking garden. It has a good kitchen but no microwave. The lounge and dining area is spacious and comfortable and the whole place was pleasantly warm with lots of hot water on demand. The bed was comfortable and there is one shower and a bathroom. To be critical, it would benefit from a bit of detailed attention - chipped paint, a doorknob that came off in the hand, brush for the fire that fell apart and a toilet seat that had been recently put there judging from the labels still on it but had not been properly fastened. Overall, it was pleasant and there were no real "no-nos" but we have stayed in properties with a bit better "finish" to them.
