Carter's Cottage

Positioned in the heart of the historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, in a quiet bolthole lane, lies this character-filled, charming family home which boasts period features such as a warming wood burning stove, exposed beams and Cotswold stone walls. Sleeping four guests in two well-presented bedrooms, this cottage is the perfect getaway for a couple or a family wanting to explore the Cotswolds.

On approach to the cottage, marvel at the sweet sight of the harmonious courtyard garden that wraps around the front and the side and enter through the gated fence and into the secluded patio area. The front door opens into the kitchen/diner which overlooks the garden, which has everything you will need for your stay; why not test your culinary skills and cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and move to the dining table to tuck in whilst discussing your trip itinerary with your party. The homely ambience of the sitting room provides a relaxing space to unwind after a day spent exploring the Cotswolds. Get the fire burning in the woodburning stove and sit back with your favourite book and enjoy the serenity. Completing the ground floor is a utility and cloakroom, available to store your muddy boots and coats and wash up in the basin.

When sleep calls, make your way up the stairs from the sitting room and discover two well-presented bedrooms and the bathroom. The first floor hosts a king-size which boasts dual aspect windows and a double which is reached by a small step and has lovely natural lighting, each with hanging space for your belongings and a light and fresh décor. Finish off your day with a soothing soak in the bath or an invigorating rinse in the walk-in rain shower.

A moment from your doorstep you will be greeted by many local amenities such as individual shops, tearooms, pubs and art galleries. Visit the Fosse Gallery to admire an array of contemporary British art, indulge in a bite to eat and drinks at The Stag at Stow. Take a trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens for the day which is a lovely spot to enjoy a picnic, surrounded by wildlife or to Bourton-on-the-Water to discover the miniature replica of the Cotswold-stone village at The Model Village.

Perhaps you’re visiting as Stow is the centre for many long-distance walking routes and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty boasts over 5000km of walking and cycling trails, passing through stunning honey-stone villages and rural countryside. At nearly 800ft, Stow is the highest of the Cotswold towns, located on the Roman Fosse Way and has many scenic walking and cycle routes to explore.

For a memorable break in the Cotswolds, Carter’s Cottage is the right choice for you and your loved ones.
