Things to Note...

Check in is from 16:00 and check out is by 10:00
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

Superb accommodation, beautiful place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "The Staircase", so much nicer than staying in a B&B. Quality of accommodation was very high indeed. Stow-on-the-Wold is a beautiful place.

Fabulous Cotswolds mini break

You can’t get a better location right in the middle of town, yet so quiet. Plenty of places to eat and the pub next door was excellent with fabulous helpful staff and great food. Would definitely recommend this as a central base for visiting the area

A slice of heaven

Perfect location, in the midst of great eateries, pubs, shops etc. A very welcome respite after 3 days in London. Great communication with host, property exactly as it appeared. Cozy, comfortable and well stocked with all you need. Would highly recommend to others looking for historic and welcoming surroundings.

Great apartment in a good location

This apartment is very clean and well equipped. The central location in Stow is handy for all local amenities including some good restaurants and bars. We parked in the longstay near Tesco which was only a short walk away. Very comfortable double bed. Would not hesitate to recommend and would stay again.

Little gem

Ideally situated on the square, right in the middle of everything, but totally peaceful . The Staircase was really comfortable and very clean. Very well equipped and very good quality pots, pans. The only one thing I would recommend would be to have some curtains or blinds in the sitting area. Wonderful stay. Would definitely go back again.

Staying at The Staircase with my family my

This was our first experience with this type of holiday. The customer service while we were making enquiries for booking were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was ideally located and the security gate was reassuring. The Staircase was immaculate, comfortable and provided a relaxing environment. Everything was to a very high standard. The mezzanine provided a nice space for our son to chill out and play also. It felt like a ' home from home' for the three of us and we would definitely choose to come again if in the area.

A wonderful place to stay

We had a lovely long weekend in this gorgeous apartment right in the heart of Stow On The Wold. The apartment was pleasantly very well equipped so had we stayed longer, we would have had everything we needed (washing machine, dishwasher, clothes airer, iron and ironing board, a huge variety of cooking equipment etc) The apartment was very clean, the beds had wonderful pillows and duvets and there were soft fluffy towels that actually smelt of fabric softener. There were some extra touches on arrival such as a pint of milk in the fridge, a packet of biscuits to go with the tea and coffee in the cupboard and a couple of lamps had been left on so we didn't have to fumble our way in in the dark. The location is great as there are a variety of places to eat in the village ranging from coffee shops for tea and cake, pubs (The Bell does a nice Pinot Grigio!) through to restaurants offering three course meals but if you wanted to stay in and cook, the apartment has everything you need. There are lots of shops in the village too and it's a short drive to other locations to explore such as Bourton On The Water or Burford. We found booking through StayCotswold very easy. We received a comprehensive email before our stay with information on how to find and access the apartment, who to contact if there were any issues, where to park, information on the wi-fi etc which was so useful to have in advance and they had clearly taken the time to provide as much information as possible. There was also a folder in the apartment with information about the central heating, how to use the oven etc. We will certainly be recommending The Staircase and StayCotswold to family and friends and hope to return to explore another location again soon.

Brilliant location

Great apartment with a excellent location. Unfortunately when we arrived the place was very cold. The boiler wasn't working. I called the emergency number provided, a maintenance man arrived two hours later who fixed the problem. Luckily for us he hadn't left when there was a power cut which lasted about 15 minutes. Not the best of starts to are break. We didn't have time to get showered before going out to dinner as we had already booked a table and didn't want to be late. We really enjoyed are stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic apartment, right in the centre of beautiful Stow on the Wold.

We have stayed in many cottages over the years and nothing could beat this one, perfect, right in the centre of Stow, with all the super restaurants, cafes and shops just on your doorstep, but very quiet, set just off the square. The Staircase was very clean, comfortable and had everything you could wish for, we felt immediately at home. We hope to return very soon.

Very nice well equipped property in perfect location.

Overall a lovely stay. Excellent property that had everything you could need. Perfect location also right in the square. Only criticism - we couldn’t check in until 6pm instead of 4pm. Not ideal, but in return we had a later check out which was quite nice. Would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic place in an amazing location

The cottage has everything you need for a great holiday retreat: - great amenities that you may need during weekly stay - just nearby shops, bars and restaurants - in the centre of the town but in quiet location - so close by to amazing footpaths, just from your door The only issue was a WiFi that was on the slow side but it is enough for holidays, may be a bit too less for working intensively from home.
