The cottage was beautiful. Quirky with lovely furniture and artwork. A formally set table set the scene for a brilliant stay. Comfortable bedrooms - the bath was a treat! Couldn’t have been closer to the town centre - a variety of independent shops, cafes and eating places. We shopped! The only thing that could have improved our stay was the outdoor area - the weather was fabulous and we had hoped to sit out with a glass of wine. Unfortunately the back yard was very unwelcoming. The chairs and table were dirty and we couldn’t sit there. Get this right and it would be a perfect stay. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robyn B.

Jun 26, 2024 #### Lovely stay We enjoyed our week at Masters House. The location was very convenient for shops, cafes and restaurants. Beds were comfortable and the house was cool and quiet despite being on a busy street. A few small niggles: more mugs would be useful, the fridge door bottom shelf is not strong enough for large milk or wine bottles and kitchen knives are not very sharp. ##### Julia M.

Feb 21, 2024 #### Fabulous Central Stow on the Wold House House was right in the middle of town. The decorations were lovely and the kitchen was well appointed.

Parking was a bit tricky, but we managed to find a spot on the same street each day. With supermarkets, shops, and restaurants just a short walk away, the convenience was excellent. Stow on the Wold is a wonderful town, and this cottage made our visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Jul 7, 2023 #### Lovely stay in Stow on Wold Masters house is a lovely cottage right in the middle of the town and was perfect for the two of us . Everything you needed for a comfortable stay . Think the lounge is a bit small for 4 people . Table and chairs in small court yard if you wish to sit out . More coat hangers needed ! ##### Susan E.

A great base to stay for a break in The Cotswolds. The accommodation had everything that we needed. Very clean, and homely, with lots of provisions left in the cupboard. If I had to give any negatives, it would be the lack of parking. We went with another couple, so had 2 cars to find parking spaces for, which at times was difficult. It seems silly that there is a car parking courtyard right next to the property (that was used by other holidaymakers staying in nearby cottages), but we were unable to use this, even though there were plenty of spaces there every day/evening. If parking was available, I would definitely return to Masters House, but I think I would look for accommodation with parking for my next visit. Overall though, a lovely place to stay . ##### Tracy S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Sep 25, 2023 #### Comfortable stay in well located accommodation The Masters House was exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. Beds were comfortable and as I was on holiday with my sister it was great having 2 bathrooms too (one en suite). The living furniture was as described but the sofa was very close to the floor so not easy getting out of it! Kitchen was well equipped and there was a good selection of crockery and cutlery. The location was ideal for the town with a courtyard leading in to the town just a couple of yards away. On street parking was available most days and when there were no spaces there were plenty of spaces in the town square. It’s quite a busy road and can be quite noisy at the front of the house in the morning and early evening. Good selection of restaurants and takeaways within a short walking distance.

We had a lot of positive things to point out, but also a few minor issues that I would like to mention. Positive: - Beautifully decorated and very cozy cottage. It was everything you need for cooking and housing 4 people. We even had fresh bread, butter and milk in the fridge when we arrived. - Location is close to shops and pubs - Very easy check in and check out Negative - One of the towels had a very big dirty stain when we arrived. I think it must have fallen into dirt before it was placed on our bed. - The recycle bin was full with bottles from previous guests. We had to put our recycle next to the bin - There were some long black hairs in the bathtub - Some of the dishes were still a bit dirty, the dishwasher probably didn't work very well on them. - The street next to the house is very busy and one of the bedrooms faces that street. I slept well because I used earplugs but for someone else it could be an issue.

It’s close to great shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. When we walked in, there were cobwebs by the front window and quite a few bedside and coffee tables were dusty so not sure if the last clean was a few weeks before we arrived or if the cottage was empty for a while. There was a lot of rain over the Christmas period and the roof was leaking in bedroom 2. Two nights in a row the top of the bed was soaked. Prior to our stay, we asked for fresh towels. Even though there was ‘fresh’ linen / towels in a drawer in the hallway upstairs they smelt old. As there’s no on-site parking it’s tricky to unload and reload your belongings. So before 10am, the neighbours next door complained about our car being outside for too long and expressed the fact that there were traffic wardens walking up and down the street when there wasn’t. The neighbours were trying to scare us because they got fed up of our car being outside. We love staying in Stow, but next time we’ll stay in a different cottage.

Jun 3, 2025 #### Beautiful Cottage We loved the cottage and location but had an extremely difficult time opening the key box. It was a weekend and bank holiday so we couldn’t get any help, fortunately an extremely nice man who lived next door was able to help but when we left he couldn’t get it open either and again, the agency wasn’t open yet. They need to have at least one person on call 23/7. Also, the bedroom with an en-suite shower was poorly designed. You could barely turn on the water because the shower head was not movable and just sprayed the water on the slanted ceiling, it needs a rainfall shower head that would direct the water straight down to be able to stand under it. ##### Debra P. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel William Gray](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-William-Gray.h15378304.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180106-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-Family-Hotel.0-0-d44-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [W Barcelona](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-W-Barcelona.h2578680.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Toronto-Downtown.h7352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Windsor.h967490.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Cayman Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cayman-Islands-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d33-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Playa del Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601751-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre-Winnipeg.h13226.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mco/edmonton-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yxe/winnipeg-to-saskatoon) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary-Intl.d4413785.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Avion Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Avion.d6272474.Destination-Travel-Guides)
