Leona May 2019

“We loved our stay at the Master House in Stow in a Wold.”

It was amazing and the house has everything we need. Perfect size house for us and an infant who liked to crawl around. Floors were clean for her to crawl around on, which we appreciated. All the amenities were great, loved the chocolate cake! The house is located city center which was perfect for walking around. We parked our car in the street behind the house as noted on their instructions. Heating, shower, tv all worked great. Beds were really comfy. They provided a nice high chair and cot for our infant. Amazing location would not hesitate staying again.

“Lovely cottage with everything you could need.”

Very happy there was a Nespresso machine and the welcome cake and bottle of wine was much appreciated! It was lovely and warm when we arrived (which was a welcome relief from the cold rainy weather) and we felt very much at home. Beds super comfy. A little noisy in bedroom near main road but earplugs worked a treat. Would highly recommend this lovely cottage for a retreat in the Cotswolds.

- Meaghan, Oct 2018
Annemarie Oct 2018

“The little cake left for us was so very much appreciated when we arrived.”

The cottage is perfect for four and it was very cosy on a very cold day. The kitchen was so well equipped and we ate in a couple of nights. Beds are comfy and warm. It’s a great location for walking the village. It is on a main road and it can be a little noisy for light sleepers in the front bedroom but not too intrusive.

- Annemarie, Oct 2018

“Our second visit to this lovely retreat.”

Great base for exploring the Cotswolds, with two young children. We can recommend the Cotswold farm park, Cotswold wildlife, Bourton-on-the-Water (for a paddle) and Blenheim palace (they have an adventure park also for the children). Lovely cosy home for some R&R. Thank you.

“We have absolutely lived staying at Masters House.”

So beautiful and welcoming. Thank you! We have enjoyed exploring Stow, with all its shops and alleyways and corners. I love the church doors with the trees growing into it. We really enjoyed seafood at The Old Butchers and Osteriainwold (round the corner) - both excellent. We visited Warwick Castle 45 mins away and Cotswold farm park 10 mins. Thank you also for the wine, milk and cake. Will definitely return.

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.

Note: The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, this is a traditional fair for 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.

Note: An honesty box is provided with the telephone for the cost of calls made.
