Luxury self-catering accommodation in Stow-on-the-Wold
With its golden-hued buildings, quintessential tearooms, and a history that stretches back to Neolithic times, it’s little wonder this ancient market town is a poster child for the Cotswolds.
Perched atop an 800-foot hill, Stow-on-the-Wold has witnessed the ebb and flow of history for thousands of years. Today, its limestone houses and serpentine streets beckon to those seeking an antidote to city life. Stow's mercantile past is evident in its eclectic array of antique shops, where you’ll unearth treasures from Victorian-era teddy bears to Baroque cherubim. Bibliophiles will find their haven in the town's bookstore, its shelves lined with leather-bound tomes and well-thumbed classics. Epicureans mustn't leave without sampling the creamy, tangy Stow cheese.
As you wander the town's lanes, the surrounding countryside reveals itself in glimpses – gentle hills, verdant fields, ancient woodlands. Venture further to discover the enchanting villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter, or lose yourself in the poetic reverie of Adlestrop, immortalised in Edward Thomas's evocative poem. This beguiling corner of the Cotswolds has long captivated the hearts and minds of aesthetes – no surprise, then, that it’s become a haunt of the well-heeled set seeking a picture-perfect pocket of the English countryside.
