Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £20 - the amount is published but not what it covers, so confirm the terms when you book
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 15 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Broadway House is a seven-bedroom, farmhouse-scale rental at Upper Swell, a mile or so from Stow-on-the-Wold, and it is set up for the kind of trip where a big group brings the dog along rather than leaving one behind. The property sits within a small cluster of cottages at Flagstone Farm, with its own private garden and a large open field behind that is the real draw for anyone travelling with a dog - room to throw a ball or take a proper morning circuit without getting in the car.
The pet terms are worth reading before you book. Dogs cost £20 and are welcome downstairs, but not in the bedrooms or upstairs at all, and not on the furniture. They can be off the lead in the cottage's own private garden, though a lead is required in the shared farm gardens - sensible in a complex where other parties and their dogs come and go. A dog left alone in the house needs to be settled in a crate.
Feedback from dog owners picks out the back field for walks and general play, and the surrounding Cotswold lanes make longer outings easy from the door. The house scores 8.2 out of 10 across 15 stays. Expectations are worth calibrating on the interior: it is described as large, practical and well equipped for a crowd rather than luxurious, and because the cottages sit close together this is a sociable base rather than a private retreat.
Best suited to large families or friend groups with a steady, sociable dog who will spend most of the day outside - and who will not mind sleeping downstairs.
