A perfect base to explore the Cotswolds. The cottage had everything needed for a home from home break. Had a fantastic few days staying in this cottage and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to family and friends. |
Guestbook for Honey Cottage
"Just to say thank you for letting us stay in your cottage a week ago, we had a wonderful weekend and what a superb little cottage you have."
“just wanted to say a very belated thank you for our wonderful stay at Honey Cottage!!! Mum ABSOLUTELY loved it and even though we left Stow for a whirlwind six week tour of Venice, Lucca, Monterosso, Rome, Barcelona and then Ireland – she insisted the Cotswolds and the cottage was her favourite part of the trip"
"We returned yesterday from a very enjoyable few days at Honey Cottage. We were delighted to find it well equipped, stocked with the essentials, conveniently located for the centre of Stow and well placed for local attractions and eating out. Just what we needed and we will be back!"
