Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

If you're after a quintessential Cotswold stay, this is it. From the log burner in the sitting room to the honey-coloured stone exterior, every inch of this cottage exudes cosy comfort. There's also a courtyard garden where you can sip wine on summer evenings and unwind under the pergola. It's a traditional home, so expect steep stairs and smaller spaces – though that's all part of the charm. Another big perk is the location. You'll be smack-dab in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, an idyllic chocolate-box village with pubs, bakeries, and shops practically on your doorstep.
