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
Please note there are only child facilities for 1 infant

We have stayed in the Cotswolds three times with the travelling party all agreeing this was the best cottage. Location wise you are in very close proximity yet it’s really quiet when in the cottage. Thank-you!

We booked for my birthday treat and it definitely was. Beautiful cottage. Clean and welll situated. Once parked didn't need a car. 5 adults and a dog plenty of room. Thoughtful treats when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. Hope to go again.

Very helpful contact and wonderful to have the log burner in a very cold snap. Parking close to the house proved something of a challenge.
