Things to Note...

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
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Well located for Stow on the Wold. The property was well equipped and very clean. Parking adjacent the cottage was a bonus. Our only negative observation was that more comfy outdoor furniture would be beneficial. Overall a very nice cottage which we would recommend
