“Second stay for us at The Old School House in Stow, and same as the first stay.”

.....fantastic! Lovely house, clean and tidy and everything to hand. As for the Cotswolds, absolutely gorgeous part of the country. Thank you again Sykes and to the owner for a lovely holiday for me and my wife, thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again.

Mrs Dickenson September 2020

“A very good location for getting around to other towns and attractions in the area.”

A lovely cottage, in a great location, within walking distance of the town and there's plenty of nice pub/restaurants, tea rooms and take-aways in Stow. Also there's a Tesco a short drive away with a hot deli, if you don't want to cook or eat out. Had a really lovely stay, thank you.

Mr Scott August 2020

“Good location in the town, handy for pubs, restaurants and takeaways.”

Very well equipped and even supplies of tea, coffee,milk and condiments. The description says that here is only a hand held shower due to the design of the bathroom. That's understandable but the shower didn't work very well and the hot water from the shower wasn't very reliable. It proved a bit difficult to draw the curtains which were heavy and lined, so draw cords or other devices to close and open them would have been very handy; the same is true of the higher windows which had to stay either open or closed. Overall though, lovely accommodation which we would strongly recommend to anyone.

- Mr Scott, August 2020

Mrs Brennan August 2020

“We loved The Old School House.”

It’s on a lovely road and having a parking space in Stow on the Wold is a definite bonus as parking in the car park and on the street can get full quickly during peak times. You’re in the heart of Stow on the Wold and the location couldn’t get any better. Quick to get to the pubs and shops but quiet for the evening. The garden is lovely and gets the sun late into the day. The cottage itself is wonderful. We really liked having the tea, coffee and milk ready for us when we arrived. The cottage was spotlessly clean and we won’t hesitate to stay again. We had a fabulous holiday with our puppy.

- Mrs Brennan, August 2020

Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your stay. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope we may welcome you back in the near future. Owner relations

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.

Note:- 1 dog welcome at a charge of £25
