The cottage is more than big enough to sleep 9 adults and 4 children. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The entire home is well laid out, has everything you need and very cosy on a wet winters day when we all sat in front of the fire.

If you’re looking for a comfortable retreat for a large family or group, I could not recommend it highly enough. The location is also perfect, right in the middle of one of the prettiest towns in the Cotswolds, surrounded by walks, pubs, shops and so much more. We had the perfect long weekend away. ##### debra h.

Enough seating in the lounge to sit together. Loved the long dinning table where we could eat and reminisce. Situated in town so some could explore great shops while others tried one of many pubs From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Feb 2025 #### Lovely cottage in central cotswolds location we stayed at Crosskeys as an extended family group for a birthday celebration. Everyone from 6yrs old to 80yrs old were happy with the cottage and found lots of comfort and space to all be together and to do have separate areas when the teenagers needed it. Louise was very helpful in sorting out minor issues on arrival and setting up a restaurant at home celebration for us, with the service and food from The Old Butchers being very top quality. We found lots to do strolling around the town, exploring Bourton on the Water and heading over to Cheltenham when wet weather made indoor fun necessary. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Oct 2023 #### Amazing stay for my 30th Birthday! 13 of us stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate my 30th Birthday and it was the most perfect house for this. We have stayed in Stow before and the all over the Cotswolds many more times but this was by far our best visit yet. The house was so well equipped and laid out for a group or family and the location is great. - The house is bigger than the photos make it seem which was real bonus. We would definitely return and would highly recommend this property. Thank you for such a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage! Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Easter holiday We were a family group of 13 - age range 16 to 84\. And we had 2 dogs with us. Property worked really well and was very comfortable with lots of space that worked for everyone. It was exactly as described, especially about the uneven floors, so the older family members had the bedroom downstairs & this worked really well. We really loved the outside space and took advantage of the sunny weather. Kitchen was well equipped & set up for a big group and we cooked several meals where all of us ate together.We also had no problem with finding parking. Would thoroughly recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 8 May 2024 #### Superb weekend stay for wedding! We stayed at Cross Keys Party as we were having our wedding nearby! The cottage was a fantastic base for the weekend. It was in the heart of Stow which had everything you could possibly need. There are plenty of nice pubs, fast food (if needed) and shops nearby which is super convenient. The cottage itself was clean, spacious and had everything you would need. The cottage had great character and was very comfortable. The communication from the owner was fantastic and we were also offered late check out free of charge which was very much appreciated (with some sore heads from the wedding). I would definitely recommend staying here and Stow itself is a lovely Cotswold town. Thanks again! From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 17 May 2024 #### Relaxing stay for family and wife 60th birthday A very welcoming set up for all 12 family members. The garden furniture was a big hit because the weather was very good. Enough bathrooms being as we had elderly people and a heavily pregnant daughter. The kitchen had everything we needed and the lounge area with the bi-folding doors made it a great space to communicate with everyone. Lots of amenities about the town with good pubs and restaurants at a stones throw. A good Indian takeaway and Chinese just across the road was great and local co-op for milk etc. I would recommend a stay here at all times of the year but for our own experience it was very memorable and I cannot speak more highly of the cottage and our wonderful stay. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark W. 12 Jun 2025 #### A family celebration to remember Don’t be deceived with the outside appearance of Cross Keys cottage it looks small and compact but inside it’s similar to a Tardis. It’s beautifully appointed and maintained and provides adequate high quality interior space to cater for 16 people easily. We held a birthday celebration for a large family there and we’ve created a lasting joyful memory. The cottage is owned by the restaurant owners next door and they were so accommodating in preparing a high quality celebratory meal for 15 people and serving it to us in the beautiful dinning room within the cottage: which made our celebration effortless, memorable and extra special. The location is excellent and there were no parking issues in the main street of Stow where the cottage is situated. It’s an ideal base for anyone wishing to explore and discover the beauty and lovely surroundings of The Cotswolds. I can’t fault Cross Keys cottage or the owners in any way…bravo and thank you ##### Mark W. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 6 Apr 2024 #### A Joyful Weekend in Stow-on-the-Wold I cannot recommend Cross Keys Cottage enough! We had the most glorious weekend in the cottage which definitely felt like a home away from home. The cottage is equipped with everything you will need and as it is situated in the centre of the town, accessing shops, country walks and cosy pubs is no issue at all. I was in the cottage with friends and family for the weekend to celebrate my 40th and it was the perfect location. The cottage is very spacious with perfect socialising areas and every bedroom is amazing. We had very warm welcome from the team at Stay Cotswold and Louise at The Old Butchers next door to the cottage and they were extremely helpful throughout the booking process. This weekend sparked so much joy with unforgettable memories and the cottage was definitely a big part of that! You're guaranteed a beautiful weekend at Cross Keys Cottage. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Ian Richards 30 Sept 2025 #### A lovely cottage in the heart of Stow, with plenty of room for sleeping, living and dining. This cottage is ideal for a family gathering, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and lots of space in the well equipped kitchen and comfortable living areas. I can absolutely recommend using the Old Butchers restaurant next door, which provided an excellent dinner served in the house itself. ##### Ian Richards From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris J. 13 Jul 2025 #### Great home away from home Absolutely loved this home and wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved everything about the house - the space worked perfectly for our family group ages 2 - 78\. We loved all the little touches and care that had obviously gone into making it a fabulous holiday let. ##### Katharine R. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Jan 2023 #### Family Celebratory Weekend What a lovely cottage! Full of charm and mod cons. Well equipped kitchen - more than enough quality wine glasses! We were a gathering of 13, lots of space for us all - the large living room was comfortable and a great space for family games and beautifully cosy with the log burner going. All the bedrooms are gorgeous, very comfortable beds, beautiful linen and towels. We organised dinner on one evening through The Old Butcher’s- it was fabulous! Highly recommend this lovely cottage - we didn’t want to leave. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [Lords of the Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Lords-Of-The-Manor-Hotel.h17766135.Hotel-Information) > - [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Broadlands Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Broadlands-Hotel.h2631331.Hotel-Information) > - [The Colesbourne Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Colesbourne-Inn.h3810136.Hotel-Information) > - [The Wheatsheaf Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Inn.h1218872.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lion Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Lion-Inn.h4133876.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [Traditional Cotswold stone cottage with wonderful views and log burning fires](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Traditional-Cotswold-Stone-Cottage-Which-Sleeps-People-8-And-Has-2-Bathrooms.h64401899.Hotel-Information) > - [Duke of Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Duke-Of-Wellington.h44764080.Hotel-Information) > - [The Slaughters Country Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Country-Inn.h5484211.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lamb Inn Great Rissington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Lamb-Inn-Great-Rissington.h4592088.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Montpellier Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Montpellier-Townhouse.h18167629.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Cleeve Hill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cleeve-Hill-House.h22944864.Hotel-Information) > - [Rising Sun Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Rising-Sun-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h63601.Hotel-Information) > - [The Plough Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Plough-Inn.h12926879.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [The Frogmill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Frogmill.h23324533.Hotel-Information) > - [Architectural gem on an acclaimed Cotswold farm /2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Architectural-Gem-On-An-Acclaimed-Cotswold-Farm-2.h98308927.Hotel-Information) > - [The Slaughters Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Manor-House.h790467.Hotel-Information) > - [Old Manse Hotel Bourton by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Old-Manse-Hotel-Bourton-By-Greene-King-Inns.h3075291.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
