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

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. We were a group of 8 with 2 dogs and there was plenty of space. The living room is bigger in real life than in the pictures and houses everyone comfortably in the evenings by the fire. Pub across the road is great and the walk to Stow takes 15-20 minutes. Will definitely be back to stay at the cottage again!

Lovely house well equipped , bedrooms were really comfy but the lounge area was too small for 8 adults and the sofas were not very comfy. Nice quiet area and not far to stow on the wild which we did a walk to, but overall it is a nice cottage
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
This house is in a great location with lots of beautiful walks on the doorstep . Kitchen is very well appointed with everything you’d need . Slight disappointment was the level of dust and cobwebs , bins overflowing in garden and no mirror , bedside lamps or bedside tables in bedrooms . This place is beautiful but a little more attention to detail would elevate further . Communication , directions and access was easy , overall a fab stay - thank you

This was a comfortable cottage in a great peaceful location for exploring the Cotswolds. It was very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. There was a good local pub open for evening meals.
