What Our Guests say 500 + Reviews

Feb 5, 2025 11:39:19 PM
Summary: Willows house is a beautiful large property in a great location. The open plan kitchen/ sitting area worked so well for our group of 6 friends. The logs left for the fire were much appreciated in January. We had a minor issue on arrival which we were able to resolve following a prompt call back from the management team. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms modern and very clean. We enjoyed the close proximity to Stow and walked there and back for some shopping and an excellent pub lunch at the Bell.

Summary: On the whole a good experience, however one of our party was uncomfortable in the downstairs bedroom due to excessive noise from the boiler, which we were unable to switch off overnight!
Oct 28, 2024 09:14:50 PM
Summary: We had a lovely say at Willows House. It is a spacious 4/5 bedroom property well located for exploring the Cotswolds. The property is showing some signs of wear and tear (some stains on the upstairs carpets and the bathrooms are looking a bit tired) but is on the whole very pleasant and well equipped. The major criticism is the water pressure at the kitchen taps and in the bathrooms which is mentioned in other reviews.
Jul 11, 2024 09:37:15 PM
Summary: The house was really comfortable for our family (me + husband, 3 yo, 5 yo, grandma + grandpa). It was spacious, the kitchen was organized well and the garden is beautiful (though watch out for the nettles and thistles!) The town is exactly what you'd hope for in the Cotswolds, and great proximity to Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, and more. Our main complain is that we were surprised that it was missing some basics, like there was no shampoo/conditioner, one roll of TP per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels.

Summary: Overall my family really enjoyed our stay at Willows house. It felt very homely and the layout was perfect. Location in Lower Swell was great, really nice local pub and close to shops in Stow. Our only criticism would be of some of the amenities supplied. The pots/pans etc were quite old and not suitable for cooking for a large family.

Summary: We stayed as a group of 2 families and had a great time at The Willows House. The layout and bedrooms are perfect for 2 families, there is lots of living space and a great sized kitchen and dining space with all the amenities you would expect and need. Lovely village and a great location for all the local sites. One day we followed the footpath across farm land to Stow-On-the-Wold. Was an excellent and beautiful walk with a great pub lunch in the middle. The house could do with some general maintenance (curtain polls barely hanging on) and a good clean especially looking for cobwebs. Very easy to book through Stay Cotswold. Thank you

Summary: Absolutely fantastic property in a great location in order to visit all the villages around the cotswolds. Everything you would need was caterer for which was great. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Summary: The Willows House in Lower Swell was the perfect home for our family of four and another family of five to spend a week. The home is charming, well appointed, and very comfortable. The location, just outside of Stow-On-The-Wold makes for easy day trips to nearby towns, while the public footpaths provide for delightful walks to the neighboring villages or Lower and Upper Slaughter, Stow, and beyond. The booking was very easy and the rental agency provided good and timely communication. We would stay here again!
