About this cottage rental

Lilac Cottage is a delightful 19th century Cotswold home which sleeps four guests, in two bedrooms, with a family bathroom. There are many traditional charms and character features which have been cleverly enhanced by modern fittings and a contemporary colour scheme. Each room has been carefully curated, a highlight being the bright sitting room with its roaring open fire and multiple windows bathing the space in sunlight throughout the year. The garden offers a fantastic extension of the reception space, complete with a sunny patio and large lawn. Two medium sized dogs are welcome to join, making Lilac Cottage a perfect getaway for the entire family.

The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates
Charging electric vehicles at this property is not permitted

    Lovely cottage. Excellent location with the advantage of off street parking. Lovely countryside walks from the cottage.

    The cottage needs to sort out central heating as it was cold in the night and early evening the open fire does not give enough heat and the central heating only comes on in the Moring in

    Comfortable stay just a few minutes walk to shops, pubs etc. Short drive or c.20 minute walk to Tesco Superstore. Local bus service to Bourton, Moreton etc.hourly. Some lovely walks from the door. Lilac Cottage has a comfortable lounge / dining room, with door to patio and garden with views. Bedrooms are roomy, beds comfy and sufficient storage. Bathroom fine but low water pressure made for poor flow to the shower. Shower is over the bath. Kitchen is well equipped, but a little small especially if two people wanted to work at the same time. Parking in front of cottage; note steps down to front door.

    Lilac cottage is so lovely. The beds are perfect and the living room is very cosy. Kitchen has all it has to have - luxury items even. Location is almost perfect : there's a tesco superstore nearby and there are some very good nearby pubs you can walk to. You can hear the traffic from the quite busy road at the end of the garden, which maybe can bother some people, but it's very silent at night and in the day you get used to it so don't let it be a shopstopper for this nice house. Stow is great and has the best market place of all villages we visited. Nice garden with lots of flowers (mostly from the neighbours). If we ever came back to Cotswolds we would certainly consider to come back. The mid stay clean was very pleasant.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Lilac Cottage. Such a charming and cute accommodation, real home from home. We sat in the garden and it was so relaxing as we were also lucky with the weather! The location was ideal for visiting surrounding areas. Highly recommend this gorgeous cottage.

    The cottage was perfect for our needs. It was as described in the website. The only minor irritation was that we had requested a mid-stay clean as offered. However this did not happen and no contact was made by StayCotswold to explain this. Hence the lower score for customer service.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Great location for walking into town. Big enough for 4, though furniture not the most comfortable. Kitchen small but comfortable, and well stocked, though a touch of milk would be nice on arrival. Most other properties do this. Driveway is small, and we were asked to move car by officious lady visiting no8 next door. Luckily there was plenty of on road parking, but this may not always be the case. Strangely no vaccum/hoover at premises. Lovely garden, and cottage gets plus points for being dog friendly, though not aware dogs not allowed upstairs till we arrived. Overall pricey but with few faults, and just lacking a few touches. For location alone i would recommend and I would stop again.
