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. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling 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. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates

Wren Cottage, Stow on the Wold
Lovely property, just the right size. Perfect location for strolling into town for shopping, restaurants etc. Plush bath & hand towels, well equipped kitchen. Could have provided small body wash lotions, shampoo and conditioners in the bathroom for guest use, but that’s a more minor point. A couple of plates & mugs were already chipped prior to our arrival, so that should be looked after better, prior to guest arrival. Didn’t communicate with the property manager, so gave a 1 star rating there

Lovely cottage
We had a lovely time at Wren Cottage. It was perfect for us as a couple with a small toddler. The place has been done to a very high standard. There was everything you could need in the kitchen. The road was noisy but we had ear plugs so it didn’t bother us. The location was excellent and parking right outside.

6/10 Okay

Cute & cosy marred by some poor maintenance.
We loved the location, perfectly placed for exploring Stow and environs with excellent Cotswold walks and superb hostelries all within easy reach. Despite being close to the busy Fosse Way the traffic noise was barely intrusive and parking was plentiful. The overall cleanliness was marginal and the large bathroom mirror was filthy. The shower glass needed maintenance and would not serve its purpose without wedging with cloths. Most importantly, the wood burner is in dire need of repair: it leaks badly and cannot be sealed, result: works more like a furnace than an economical fire. Simply put too many chefs, owner > agent > sub agent > cleaners/maintenance. Recommend a proper examination of the property between clients by a thorough individual. Wren Cottage has the potential to meet higher standards.

A lovely stay!
A really enjoyable stay at wren cottage. Amazing value for money and such a great location. Road was quite noisy but we still slept super well in the comfy beds. Anything we needed was responded to promptly. Would definitely recommend and stay again :)
