Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This cosy ground-floor apartment is located in the quintessential Cotswold town of Stow-on-the-Wold. Set within a shared courtyard, you'll have a small private patio with enough space to enjoy an alfresco lunch. The kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up family meals, and your host can provide a cot and high chair for a little one, though you'll need to bring your own cot linen. We love the character features inside, from the exposed stone to the wooden beams. On-street parking is available nearby, but if you don't drive there's still an abundance of charming shops, pubs, and eateries right on your doorstep.
