Both were excellent! Spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable apartment where attention to detail is evident. Absolutely everything has been thought of - from the electric remotely operated skylights, to every conceivable kitchen item, plenty of crockery, glasses etc so no need to keep washing up/putting dishwasher on, lovely white company bed linen and towels, smart TV with soundbar, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and so on. The cafe downstairs was the best we ate in throughout our week in the area (and we tried a few!). Deserving of it's obviously good reputation, made evident by the number of people in for weekend brunch. Lives up to it's name with the 'buzz' of people enjoying food from the exceptionally good menu. Super friendly owners and staff who were not flustered at all by the busy-ness of the cafe - patient, attentive, efficient service. I highly recommend the Hive for food and/or accommodation.

The property

No more than a hop from the heart of Stow on the Wold, The Hive is as sweet and gorgeous as it sounds!

Ideal for couples (no children under 12).

A period house with a boutique feel that has undergone the most comprehensive overhaul imaginable, you are surrounded by quality and luxury.

Inside, there is a smart open plan living area, more than ample space for up to 4 people, including an uber-smart kitchen that will allow you to enjoy cooking up a storm!

The views towards the little green and Sheep Street beyond are lovely and for such a central property you are surprised at how peaceful it is.

There are two bedrooms a sublime master suite and a secluded double ( can be a twin on request) upstairs too.

Light and bright it is hard to believe this venerable old building is as old as it is, the clean and simple lines are relaxing and the quality of the fixtures and furnishings is a joy to behold.

The entire experience here is outstanding, we love it.

Whether entertaining at home or taking advantage of the superb choices in Stow, this is an exceptional base to explore the cotswolds. No children under the age of 12. NO WORKING GROUPS PLEASE

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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.
