Holiday home Situated in a quiet road within the heart of the historic market town, Stow-on-the-Wold, in a short row of cottages, you will find the lovely Primrose Cottage. Built in the 18th century, the cottage has been freshly renovated, yet still holding its character such as exposed wooden beams and charming woodburning stove. Ideal for families or groups of friends, sleeping up to four guests, Primrose Cottage is a splendid choice for your getaway to the Cotswolds.
Upon arrival in the quiet road, park your car in the nearby road and approach the property through the lovely courtyard garden, where the front door opens into the well-appointed and contemporary kitchen where you will find everything you require to make a delicious home-cooked meal to enjoy at the dining table with your guests and plan your itinerary for your wonderful trip to the Cotswolds, or if the weather permits, eat your dinner alfresco style in the little courtyard with outdoor table and chairs to the front of the property. The sitting room is little, yet homely and warming, and has plenty of character including exposed oak beams and woodburning stove which is perfect for chilly winter nights.
When sleep calls, make your way up the stairs to the first floor where you will have a choice of two relaxing bedrooms; the master containing a double bed and second bedroom containing twin beds. The bathroom finishing the first floor off nicely, contains a bath for you to relax in after a long day of travelling or exploring.

Area 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.
Region Visitors to the Cotswolds have long treasured memories of charming towns and villages built from the famous honey-coloured stone, it now boasts a thriving community of contemporary artists working from studios and shops throughout the area.
