Things to Note... Events are not permitted without prior consent A security deposit is required at this property Check in is from 17:00 and check out is by 10:00 The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. 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 This property has a Minut sensor which doesn’t record any sound but detects movement and very loud noise

Beautiful comfortable cottage
Great location lots of nice eating places and central to all the Cotswold villages.
We were very comfortable in the cottage.
Only suggestion is that a washing machine would have been nice .

Fabulous place for our Christmas break
We were so lucky to find this beautiful cottage. The location is perfect for the shops and huge arrays of lovely pubs and cafes. Even though the cottage is along the road we weren’t disturbed by noise.
Everything g was perfect and the fire place made it so cosy.

Little Cottage.
Beautiful Cottage!
Thoughtfully decorated for Christmas with several treats left on the table.
Great Location.
Will definitely return for a short stay.
Please Note the very large step in the lounge as you come straight in the door is a hazard and resulted in one of the guests to have to visit A&E.
Hopefully this can be mentioned to avoid the same happening to somebody else.

Cosy cottage in great location
Beautiful cosy cottage in centre of Stow. Very clean and fresh throughout. Great host and communication from Carolyn. Was easily able to find on-street parking very close to the property during the whole of our stay in March. Would highly recommend.
This cottage is centrally located in the town center. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and communications. Highly recommended.

The perfect cottage in an excellent location
Little Cottage was the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for our visit to the Cotswolds. My mom and I are already missing it! The cottage has everything you need, including 2 bathrooms, which is difficult to find. It’s also perfectly located in beautiful Stow-on-the-Wold if you don’t have a car, as Stow has excellent bus service. I would definitely stay in Little Cottage for my next visit to the Cotswolds.

Gem of a beautiful cottage
Little Cottage is in a perfect location, parking was not a problem, full information was supplied prior to arrival. Attention to detail was superb it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, welcome pack much appreciated. We took the local bus to Boughton on the Water, short drive to Bibury, Burford, Broadway, Chipping Camden on different days and walked to Broadwell and back. Would highly recommend this 5 star fully supported cottage.

Wonderful cottage,
We stayed for two weeks in Little Cottage, our base for exploring the Cotswolds. In addition to its central location in the charming village of Stow-on-the-Wold, which allowed us to discover much of the surrounding area, this cottage also provided the peace and space to relax and enjoy ourselves at home in the small patio, the cosy kitchen or the comfortable living room. Everything looked well maintained. Nice bathroom, comfortable beds and more than enough space. It's just that we want to explore more areas of England, otherwise I would book Little Cottage again in a heartbeat.

A perfect stay
We came away for a short weekend escape straight after our wedding and it was just what we needed. More than enough to do in a weekend around without having to get in the car.
Equally despite the lovely hustle and bustle, the evenings were quiet meaning we could get a good nights sleep.
Cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed and really appreciated the treats left for us. Thank you.

The most perfect cottage
What a beautiful cottage! From the moment we entered everything was perfect. The lounge was so cosy for evenings spent watching films, the kitchen a gorgeous sunny spot with everything we needed. And the bedrooms comfortable and roomy. Love the style and decor, and in perfect easy reach of all that Stow on the Wold has to offer! Will definitely be returning!
