About this property

This delightful property is situated in the ever popular and bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, amidst the beautiful scenery of the Cotswolds. Well furnished throughout, Woolpack Cottage welcomes families and friends seeking a charming abode in the heart of the Cotswolds. After a day of outdoor exploration, look forward to kicking off your walking shoes and relaxing in the lounge, where you can sink into the sofa and watch your favourite TV shows on the Smart TV. Move into the kitchen, where the designated chef can relish in home-cooking, equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger to wash up! Take the evening outside and enjoy a moment in the enclosed rear garden, featuring patio furniture that is perfect for alfresco dining or a game of cards into the night. Neatly tucked away upstairs, you will find a double and twin bedroom, serviced by a family bathroom where you can enjoy a leisurely evening soak or revitalising shower preparing for the day ahead. When you’re ready to explore, Stow-on-the-Wold has plenty to offer with attractions such as St Edward’s Church, Fosse Gallery and the Cotswold Chocolate Company. Those feeling active can spend their time exploring long-distance walking routes throughout the Cotswolds, offering over 5000km of walking and cycling trails, passing through glorious honey-stone villages and rural countryside. Head over to the nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, where you can tour the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, wander around the Birdland Park & Gardens, spot the local wildlife at the Salmonsbury Meadows or visit the town's famous Model Village. After a long day of sightseeing, why not stop off for dinner in one of Stow-on-the-Wold's acclaimed restaurants, with Alexiou’s, The Hive and the Prince of India to name a few. Enjoying a central position in the Cotswolds, Woolpack Cottage is simply a perfect retreat all year round!

Olde worlde England is best exemplified by Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds and a former Iron Age fort. Since the 12th century, this historic market town has hosted numerous fairs. Currently, it hosts a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs, and a monthly Farmers' market. 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. The large market square is bordered by a beautiful collection of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique stores, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants, and its very own cricket museum. It has an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other. From Stow's centre, you may take a variety of strolls and bike rides through the picturesque Cotswolds countryside. The Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire Way, and Monarch's Way all pass by the town. One of the most well-known Cotswold villages is Bourton-on-the-Water, also referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds" due to the River Windrush's path through the town. The village is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Moreton-in-Marsh, a Saxon market town, and Broadway, a classic English village, are both nearby and make for a fun day trip. Architecturally speaking, the most complete Regency town in England is Cheltenham (20 miles away). It is a resort town with an amazing selection of stores, theatres, restaurants, and bars. In March, it hosts a horse-racing festival that includes the Gold Cup steeplechase. It hosts festivals for literature, jazz, classical music, science, and food and drink at various times of the year. The oldest university city in England, Oxford, often known as "The City of Dreaming Spires," is home to 38 colleges, half of which date back to before 1600, the oldest university classroom, the Bodleian Library, the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and the Botanic Gardens. Stow-on-the-Wold is the perfect starting point because it is close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester, and the maritime city of Gloucester.
