  2. An enjoyable stay unfortunately tainted by the lack of bathrooms and other items detailed above.

    Positive: Size, location to town, big dining table. Negative: Please read before booking this property!! This property was booked on the requirement of a bathroom per bedroom. Although the details stated there were five bedrooms and five bathrooms, in reality there were five bedrooms, three bathrooms and one w.c. We ended up having to share bathrooms. Only one was en-suite and only one had a shower! This was very misleading. A number (if not all) the bathroom doors did not close properly and the locks did not engage. With one of our party requiring a walking stick it was concerning that all the rugs were a significant trip hazard. These continually curled up and rucked - with one in a bedroom even restricting the opening of wardrobe doors. The secure key box is sited in an unusual place (a distance from the front door and only accessible by standing on the lawn). During our stay it was raining and we had to stand in mud when arriving to retrieve the key and again when leaving. We use booking.com for many bookings and this was the only time we had to provide I.D. of all persons staying at the property. We had to say who was coming and their ages and then send in a photo of each person’s passport or driving license and also another photo of each person holding their passport or driving licence. This seemed to be unnecessary sharing of personal data.

    This is a lovely house near the very charming village of Stow. The house is spacious and well decorated. We had a couple of issues during our stay. Firstly we were given the wrong postcode - an apology for this would have been appreciated. Secondly we could not get the heating to work on our first evening. We contacted the owner(?) and had a very protracted "conversation" over several hours. He requested photos and videos (of us switching on the boiler) but unhelpfully kept repeating instructions that we had already done. The issue was resolved by contacting Air BNB support. Reading other reviews makes me think their boiler is faulty. it certainly looks very old. The downstairs bedroom was very noisy at night as there is a 2nd boiler in the room. There is only 1 shower in the property (in the ensuite) - not even hand held showers in the other bathroons. There was also one VERY dirty drawer under oven, no washing up bowel. Recycling instructions would have been helpful.

    The house is in a great location in Stow on a private estate. The postcode provided unfortunately does not take you the property (directions ended on the Fosse Way to the rear of the property) and you have to use your map reading skills to navigate to the entrance road to the private estate that leads to the house. Layout of the property is ideal for larger family get togethers, but worth noting, there is only one shower which is located in the en-suite of the main bedroom. We had two issues whilst staying at the property for 2 nights, and whilst acknowledgement of the issues was prompt, neither issue had been dealt with, or any update provided on resolving them, prior to departure. One of these issues related to the heating, where the thermostat seemed to be faulty and therefore the heating was on constantly with no way to regulate the temperature of the house. This lead to the house being uncomfortably hot for the entire stay

    The house is very spacious and in a great location. Felt very safe and a short walk away to the town center. However they only had 2 parking spaces in front of the house, even though you can easily fit 4 cars in without blocking the neighbours. This wasn't clearly communicated in the advert. Also they only had 1 shower in an ensuite. The other two bathrooms were bath taps only, no shower. Very unusual and not in the ad. We had no hot water on the 2nd day and only found out once we came back from our day out and tried to bathe the kids. I messaged the host (a managing agent), but he was very slow to respond and I had to call to chase up. They responded asking for photos to illustrate what happened, which I did, but again had to chase for answers. They didn't give me any useful advise apart from turning it off and on again. They said they despatched engineers who will take 90 mins to get here, but they didn't turn up at all! I eventually fixed the hot water myself so everyone could bathe

    Positive: Location was very good, house was very comfortable. Negative: Only shower in the property was in the master en-suite. Would be much better if there was another shower in another bathroom even if it was only over the bath.

    This is a lovely spacious cottage, nicely decorated with comfy beds! Only a few minutes walk into Stow with lots of nice pubs & shops. Good public transport links to other towns & villages if you don’t fancy a driving.
