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

Perfect location, felt like we were locals. very homey, enjoyed using the kitchen. Would enjoy staying there again.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
It was absolutely perfect! Quaint, comfortable cottage right in the village. Traveling with two friends, each of us had our own bedroom & bathroom. Loved shopping in town, baked goods at Otis and Belle are a must.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
A good size property and the kitchen has everything you could need for cooking plus a pod coffee machine which they provided a pack of pods for. Rooms all have their own bathroom and they were all in pristine condition and very clean. The sitting area was a bit tight to comfortably sit 6.
The location means you can easily wander around Stow and the only negative with that is some road noise but that does die down at night. Parking was sometimes tricky but free. The mattresses were not great but otherwise we found it to be a decent place to stay.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Three couples stayed at this beautiful cottage right in the centre of Stow. It is small but perfectly formed and, at no time did we feel on top of each other. The floors slope, the ceilings are low, and there are quirky features which made us feel that we were staying in history.
There was a cake and tea and coffee left for us, which was a nice touch,
The kitchen was well equipped and we could easily cook for 6 people.
The beds were comfortable but we could have done with more pillows as the ones provided were flat.
A few spare toilet rolls and some kitchen roll would also have been appreciated but we just bought our own.
There is no allocated parking but we had no issues parking on the main road near to the cottage.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book to stay here again and, the service and contact from Stay Cotswolds was excellent from start to finish.
