Lovely house in ideal location
A charming and cosy house comfortably fitting our group of 8 (although the twin room beds seemed only really suitable for children, and we ended up using the spare sofabed downstairs). We had a few teething problems with the heating/water but the team were fast to get in touch with guidance (turns out minimal interference was the best policy). Otherwise everything was great, lovley quiet location but within easy (if steep) stroll from bustling Stow with all its facilities. Lots of nice walks in the area, great local pub, handy ice cream vending machines up the road, all in an ideal spot for relaxing and/or exploring the lovely Cotswolds.
