Parking is nightmarish for this property. Had to mark almost a mile away on multiple days. If possible the owners should procure a spot near the location that is reserved.

Beautiful cottage in the heart of Stow!

We were very blown away by this cottage! It was so beautiful and quaint and easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants in town. Working with Tasha was great and helped us get us all sorted for arrival. I would 100% recommend staying here!

I loved the property, felt like I was back in time. Only complaint was that we were tired and wanted to shower and no shower gel. Didn’t know we had to bring our own. But the property was so adorable.

Lovely cottage within very easy walking distance of the square and all the shops pubs restaurants and cafes that Stow has to offer. Smooth check in and check out. The host had left things we thought we would have to buy such as soap washing liquid dishwasher tablets tea coffee sugar books DVDs and even some cake. The cottage was very comfortable with three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which were en suite. The kitchen was well kitted out with the exception of there being no washing machine, but we knew this when we booked so just packed accordingly. We had no problems parking the car on the street outside the cottage for our 7 night stay in September. The parking is free and there are other options should you be unable to find a space on the street outside. This was our first trip to the Cotswolds and we loved the cottage and the area and hope to return next year. We would highly recommend Nepenthe cottage to anyone planning visiting Stow.

Short weekend break in January

We have stayed in the Cotswolds three times with the travelling party all agreeing this was the best cottage. Location wise you are in very close proximity yet it’s really quiet when in the cottage. Thank-you!

Cosy cottage

Just back from our stay at Nepenthe. The cottage was perfectly located for exploring Stow and the wider area. We particularly loved that the cottage was kept warm and cosy throughout our stay. The beds were all really comfortable and the roll top bath a real treat! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for home cooked meals. The lounge with its comfy sofas, chairs and log burner was perfect for relaxing. Highly recommended!

March in the Cotswolds

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nepenthe in Stow on the Wold. The cottage was wonderful - everything we needed, furnishings and cleanliness top notch. Loved the fireplace, and having the wood supplied made for lovely evenings by the fire. Highly recommend this property - access to village was brilliant too. Thank you. :)))

Enjoyable family celebration

We stayed at Nepenthe as part of a family celebration with multiple significant birthdays and suited us completely Comfortable,in the heart of the town with space for six adults a baby and a greyhound it served as a base for walks, run, pubs, restaurants and cafes. We stayed for 2 nights and didn’t use our car which we were able to park on the street outside If we had been longer in the area we would have travelled to other attractions elsewhere but we didn’t need to as the lovely town of Stow was on our doorstep The cottage was well prepared for us with a few treats and a thoughtful present for our 1 year old grandson.It was a perfect break

It was absolutely perfect! Quaint, comfortable cottage right in the village. Traveling with two friends, each of us had our own bedroom & bathroom. Loved shopping in town, baked goods at Otis and Belle are a must.

Cotswold fun

Very helpful contact and wonderful to have the log burner in a very cold snap. Parking close to the house proved something of a challenge.

Christmas stay

A lovely Christmas stay at Nepenthe. Cottage was festively decorated and the log fire made it feel so cosy. Location is brilliant, central to many pubs, walks and the main square. The welcome gifts were very welcome. Although listed as a 6 person cottage, we found it to be a little on the small side to comfortably accommodate 6 adults. Whilst the cottage was clean in general, some areas could be focused on a little more.

Perfect location

The cottage was situated just below the town centre , which made easy access to all the amenities in the town .we had a storm on the Friday and the cottage was so very cosy and comfy . We are a family that cooks and the kitchen was very well equipped for us . Such a quirky cottage upstairs which brought a lot of joy to my four year old grandson. Well worth a stay

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.

Perfect in every way

We had such a wonderful stay in Nepenthe. The cottage is beautifully maintained, well equipped and very clean. Great location - on the high street in Stow on the Wold - but no traffic noise at all. It’s the perfect place to be based for visiting other areas of The Cotswolds. Both the on site person and the owner were a joy to have met. ( albeit only via e mails). Thanks Nepenthe, continue to enchant your guests, we’ll be back x
