The Barn at High Gables is a newly renovated, beautifully presented, Cotswold holiday retreat which sleeps four guests (no children aged 12 or under permitted), in two stylish ensuite bedrooms, each with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. The ground floor open plan design is both practical and elegant, with whitewashed oak beams and gentle green accents, creating a sense of rustic countryside charm. Bi-fold doors and full height windows to the rear of the barn create a light, airy living space, opening onto a gravelled courtyard. The comfortable outdoor seating is perfect for soaking up the sunshine and creating a sense of seamless indoor-outdoor living. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of the Cotswolds, The Barn at High Gables is situated at the top of the village of Bourton-on-the-Hill, adjacent to Batsford Estate and 2.3 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh. Village amenities include a local shop, inn, church and Bourton House Garden. The village provides access to many scenic walks, across the rolling countryside.

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
