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.

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

The Perfect Getaway

Oxbow Cottage was the perfect place for the peaceful getaway my wife and I sought. It was charming and quaint. It was clean and provided everything we needed from kitchenware to linens and towels. The location was beautiful and the people we encountered were kind and courteous. Should we visit Stow again, we will definitely be booking our stay at Oxbow Cottage.

The cottage is well maintained and in a lovely, quiet location. However, it is only a short walk to Stow on the Wold for the shops and restaurants. It was very relaxing!

Idyllic cottage

Great location, so tranquil, loved all the walks on the doorstep. You don’t need to use your car. Stow only a 10/15 minutes walk where there are an abundance of shops, good quality restaurants, bars and cafes. Dog friendly too. The cottage was comfortable, beautifully clean and had everything you needed. Absolutely loved our stay, thank you!

Well located for Stow on the Wold. The property was well equipped and very clean. Parking adjacent the cottage was a bonus. Our only negative observation was that more comfy outdoor furniture would be beneficial. Overall a very nice cottage which we would recommend

Perfect Cotswold stay

We loved our stay at Oxbow Cottage. It was the perfect base for our Cotswold visit. The location was beautiful in the countryside yet a short walk into Stow on Wold where there were delightful restaurants, pubs, wine bars and shopping. It gave us easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. It was perfect. We would love to go back one day.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Oxbow cottage is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is situated in a lovely quite location but is just a 15 minute walk into Stow-on-the-wold where there are lots of shops, pubs and cafes. It is in a great location for visiting the many lovely places in the Cotswolds. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will be back again in the future.

Delightful cottage with lovely views

Delightful cottage in a quiet hamlet with lovely views and yet just a short walk away up into Stow and all it facilities, restaurants, shops etc. Comfortable bed and sofa. Lovely double shower and a well kitted out kitchen.We took our dog who thoroughly enjoyed the large paddock for safe off lead exercise. Plenty of parking on the drive. Various places to visit just a short drive away and plenty of walks directly from the cottage.

Great short stay in this clean and well equipped cottage

This was a last minute booking but we were not disappointed. The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and the accomodation was exactly as described in the listing. A nice surprise was the good standard of kitchen equipment (especially a set of sharp knives!) which was better than often found in ths type of property. The owner was friendly and helped out with a couple of maintenance points very promptly. We will definitely stay again.
