April Cottage review
A very welcoming cottage with all the amenities you need to make for a very enjoyable stay. Location is great within a very short walking distance to the centre of town. Parking is very secure within a gated area with ample space for 2 cars. I would highly recommend this cottage and hope to return one day, overall a great stay.

Excellent location
April Cottage is located in the heart of Stow on the Wold in a quiet cul de sac. It is steps away from the market square. The cottage was immaculately clean and having 2 parking spaces was brilliant.
