The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling 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. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates
The entrance lane turn is tight, so guests with a large vehicle may prefer to use the free public parking lay-by on the road nearby
Elm Bank has a lovely garden for guests to enjoy and it is important to the owners that guests are courteous and considerate towards the neighbouring properties. We politely request that guests do not disturb the neighbours and that noise is kept to a minimum after 22:30

Summary: Elm Bank is a beautiful cottage in a perfect location in Lower Swell. The listing is accurate, if anything the pictures do not quite show you how large the cottage is. We were more than comfortable as a group of six adults. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots and pans, the fridge is expansive, and there's plenty of storage for food and other necessities. The beds are comfortable and the temperature of the rooms really is quite manageable once you get the hang of it. The garden is great for kids to play in and there is easy access to the village and public spaces for walking. We encountered a few bugs, which the host does mention in the property guidebook on site, but probably more than there should be. There were a few places in the house we had to clean upon arrival, but nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected. Parking can be difficult for larger vehicles, though there are number of nearby options. A great place to stay, recommended!

Summary: We were exploring the cutest little town on our walk, and came upon the cottage that we were staying at on the walk! Centrically located to Stow on the Wold and the lower slaughter- couldn't have been more perfect for our large family. The grocery store was close by, and we loved getting eggs and ice-cream from the farm down the road. We had three small cars, and parking was a bit tight, but overall we enjoyed our stay! Would recommend!

Summary: The property was booked for a special family occasion and chosen specifically for quality, number of beds and location. The experience was excellent on all counts. The house was clean and well stocked. It was comfortable for all guests and in a perfect location for enjoying the local area. I was given a lot of assistance in the lead up to the visit which was very helpful.

Summary: The house was really clean and well appointed, with a very well equipped kitchen. Our only criticism was the location of the dining table, a long way from the kitchen. We ate in the kitchen, but it was a bit crowded. There were two reception rooms we didn’t use. The house would work much better if the kitchen and room next door were made into one large kitchen with a bigger dining table.

Summary: We had an absolutely magical weekend in the Cotswalds. The property is perfect and exactly as described. Check in and check out were effortless, and the host was immediately responsive, even though Europe was in the midstate Verizon data glitch. It’s a short, beautiful stroll to Stow-on-wald and we spent a spectacular afternoon trekking to Bourton-on-the-water. The property is literally across the street from the Lower Swell pub which had great food and was an oasis of quiet local culture in a busy holiday weekend. Our whole family from 11 to 56 loved it and we were so comfortable in the spacious house. The beds and bathrooms were fabulous, the kitchen well appointed, and plenty of space to flop down and read a book. Can’t say enough good things and we hope to be back one day!

Summary: 11 of us met here to celebrate a 90th and 30th birthday. Elm Bank was very clean, spacious and well equipped and there was plenty of bathrooms for everyone. We had 4 cars between us and there was plenty of parking at the cottage ( a little tight for larger vehicles) and in the layby opposite. The cottage is well located for local walks and visiting nearby towns and villages. We had wonderful weather so were also able to enjoy the garden. A really lovely stay.

Summary: Well equipped and spacious Elm Bank was perfect for us. We were a group of 12 - three families with children of a range of ages. The house was big enough to accommodate us all. The garden was brilliant. There was plenty to do in the area. We had a fabulous weekend.

Summary: We were celebrating a 90th birthday. Accommodation was ideal for the 9 of us. Lovely to have a large dining room table that we could share leisurely meals together. Well equipped kitchen for providing even a 3 course meal. Enough comfortable seating for us all in the lounge area. Great to have the open fire on in the evening.
