This cosy retreat has a range of modern facilities, a shared courtyard garden and an allocated parking space, a great feature given its central location.

In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the properties within our portfolio are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for the person managing your property. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

For bookings commencing more than 8 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 8 weeks prior to arrival.

All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Location Information

Maize is tucked away on a side street in the centre of bustling Stow-on-the-Wold. Overlooked by St Edward's Church, the market square is home to a number of pubs, boutique shops and tearooms, yet retains its old town stocks, ancient cross and narrow alleys as a reminder of the town's history and connections to the wool trade.
For your shopping essentials, there is a mini Co-op in The Square, less than a minutes' walk away, or a Tesco Superstore, less than one mile away.
Stow is well-placed for visiting the many beautiful towns and villages of the North Cotswolds such as Winchcombe, Chipping Campden, Broadway and The Slaughters.

The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October. 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

Reviews

3.2/5

We have stayed at this property a few times several years ago and always found it very clean and in a good location for us. However this time we were disappointed with it. The bathroom had mould on the tiles and when we used the shower, the bathroom floor flooded. We called the number that was given to us and the next day a man came to unblock the drain in the shower and put some bleach down the drain and on the tiles. He also came back the next day and cleaned the tiles more thoroughly. All of this should have been done prior to our stay!!!! Most disappointing. It was obvious that the property must have changed hands as the lady that owned it before would never have let it in this condition.

Thank you Wendy for your review of Maize. We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with a blocked drain during your stay, however we are pleased that the property manager was on hand to solve the issue. Unfortunately poor ventilation by keeping the door shut and moisture in the bathroom will unfortunately create the ideal environment for mold to grow. We do hope that you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds!

Excellent location, just a minute's walk from town centre. Comfortable base for cycling and walking break. All you need for a short break - shower room, microwave and plenty of plates, cups and dishes. Could do with a towel rail in the shower room though.

Thank you Geoff. We are really pleased you found Maize so well located for visiting the Cotswolds and Stow-on-the-Wold.

Found difficulty in locating the property as the name Maize was not displayed. We were disappointed with the kitchen facilities for self catering, would have been better with a hob and pans for cooking full meals rather than just a microwave oven. insufficient cooking utensils, peelers, large jugs, draining spoons, boards etc. Coffee pot and teapot only suitable for one cup not for two people. No towel rails in bathroom and no heating there so towels don't dry.

Many thanks for your constructive feedback Frances. We have taken steps to ensure all our guest can find their way to the front door of each holiday home by utilising What3Words. This unique code is contained within the welcome letter and we strongly recommend all our guests look into this before they depart for their Cotswold holiday. As Maize is a base from which to explore the surrounding area, and not intended as a full self-catering stay, the kitchenette is not fully equipped. We look forward to you booking with us again soon.
