A fantastic flat in the heart of Stow, immaculate condition & decorated beautifully. We could not wish for anything more, with all the wonderful little villages surrounding & plenty of things to see & do, all this capped off with returning to the charming accommodation.

Great, central apartment in Stow-on-the-Wold
Super comfortable apartment, as far as I could tell very newly renovated. Great location and a nice welcome box provided which was much appreciated. Fully fitted kitchen with excellent pots/pans/utensils so cooking dinners in was just like being at home. Highly recommend for a couple or two couples right in the centre of the town!

Great location
We enjoyed our stay at Martin‘s house. The property has been beautifully renovated and has a feel of luxury with beautiful furnishings and extremely comfortable beds and bedding especially pillows! Everything was immaculate and along with a generous welcome hamper and all necessities made for a relaxing stay. The owner gave us detailed instructions on how to find the property and was extremely helpful.Would recommend The Porch House for food,very friendly and good value and only a stones throw away.

Cosy, comfortable and central location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas in 1 Martins House.
The flat although very small was beautifully presented, it was cosy and warm with a log burner adding to the ambiance. Hi spec. bathrooms and kitchen and tastefully decorated throughout. Very comfortable beds.
The owner was easily contactable and helpful.
Also conveniently situated in the centre of town, close to some excellent restaurants, we ate at the Old Porch House and the Old Butchers, both very good.
Finding long term parking spaces was difficult, but did find space in the Old Wall street.

An Enjoyable Stay in Stow
A comfortable and relaxing stay at Flat 1 Martin House. Very well maintained and everything we needed. The flat is ideally located in the centre of Stow, good too for visiting other villages and we also got lucky with the on-street parking! A minor problem with the power supply in the second bedroom, which I suspect is temporary, and a little cramped for four and a dog! However, we were out and about for most of the time so that didn't spoil our enjoyment. Many thanks.

WOW! A Perfect Choice For Our Group!
Our group of 4 loved loved loved F1. As other reviewers have noted it's newly rehabbed and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the details. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked, both with it appliances, cabinetry and as a bonus, the hosts left us a little starter of food items. Placed in a cute little picnic basket were a fresh loaf of bread, some coffee and a few other items. Such a nice touch. The bedrooms and living room were just adorable and the outdoor area was just what we needed for a pre dinner cocktail and a little bit of relaxation. The location couldn't have been better as the flat was located only about 3 blocks from public parking so we were able to park fairly close. All in all, we thought it was the perfect choice for our stay!
