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

Disliked: Amenities
beautiful cottage with a feeling of the cotswolds. we enjoyed it and liked having a kitchen and laundry. We were disappointed to go for the enire first day of our 3 days there without a WI-FI code. We received only 3 towels for 4 people, and only 1.25 rolls of toilet tissue. I understand that short term stay arrangements often expect customers will purchase hygiene items, but seriously! That is not enough toilet paper...There was no information about how to unlock the back door, so we could not access the outdoor area, use the grill or even locate the garbage bins. Really disappointing for the amount of money we paid. Terrible communication that could be fixed with a simple flyer or brochure on the table telling customers how to use the back door, what the WIFI code is, how to use the TV channels, turn on the radiators, etc.
