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

A lovely stay but needs a few improvements

We enjoyed our stay but a few things are needed to improve . Not enough cooking utensils , bread was left but no bread knife ! No bin bags that should be provided . Tiny fridge not really adequate . Cold in the living room and electric fire does not work . Sofa uncomfortable. Bathrooms smelt of drainage . Pillows too soft on beds , sheets (linen) very scratchy . Flies from dead plants
