    “The house was clean and spacious, but one of the bedrooms is essentially a nursery with a crib and an uncomfortable bed.”

    The house is also on a pretty road with tricky access by foot, because you have to cross the road, but can't do so by the sidewalk because it ends some time before the house. If you're willing to cross the road and then cross back over, though, it does have nice access to the Monarch's way footpath. Unfortunately, we had a couple of small issues but never heard back at any time, either via email or via the VRBO, so that was quite frustrating.

    We are delighted to hear that you found the house to be clean and spacious. As you say, the house is set back from a road which can be busy, particularly at rush hour. We have always been able to cross with care and agree that it does allow good access to the Monarch’s Way and Cotswold Way footpaths. We are sorry that you didn’t hear back when you reported some small issues. We do leave the local contact details for Sykes in the welcome folder but understand you contacted VRBO, the third party you make your booking through, and did not hear back from them. We encourage guests to use the numbers in the property to report any concerns and we will endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible. We are always keen to resolve any niggles and ensure you have the best possible stay. Property Owner

The property

There's plenty of room for up to 22 guests at the spacious South Hill Farmhouse (22), which is a holiday home listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The property, which was formerly a farmhouse in the area, now features 11 bedrooms and several bathrooms, making it an ideal spot for large families or groups visiting the Cotswolds.

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay here memorable and fun, including a spacious living area, a separate games room, and a huge dining room.

The home is just paces away from the centre of Stow on the Wold's bustling market district and is situated on the Fosse Way (the infamous main road between Cirencester and Stow).

The huge vacation home is made more appealing by the use of high-quality materials throughout.

Farrow and Ball paint, Robert Welch cutlery, and Denby dinnerware are just a few examples.

Highly recommended for any celebration you want to remember forever.

(Please note that the description concludes with information on optional farmstead activities.)

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

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: This property is over 3 floors, and the first floor has 2 separate staircases.
NOTE: Property is off the Fosse way - this road experiences steady and busy traffic flow.
Note: There have been a number of occasions at the house where parties have gone into the early hours. This is absolutely fine, but we respectfully ask that noise outside the property be kept to a minimum after 11.00 p.m., in consideration for the neighbours. Thank you for your co-operation.
The parking will fit 8 medium size cars, but please note you will have to block some cars in to fit.

Note: The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for 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.
