About this property
Beautifully presented dog friendly holiday cottage in the Cotswolds with a courtyard garden - Heath
Originally built in the early 19th century, Heath Cottage is an elegantly presented, grade II listed holiday home which sleeps six guests, in three well appointed bedrooms, with a family bathroom and shower room. On the ground floor and at the heart of the cottage is a warm and inviting sitting room, which boasts plenty of comfortable seating and a large inglenook fireplace with a cosy wood burning stove, perfect for those wintry evenings in. This spacious Cotswold stone cottage beautifully combines traditional character with contemporary style, with original oak beams, stunning exposed Cotswold stone and flagstone flooring. Finished in a warm, contemporary style, this wonderful property has a tranquil courtyard garden, which bathes in the late afternoon sun, making this a great spot for enjoying home cooked meals in the summer sunshine. Heath Cottage is a dog friendly holiday cottage, suitable for one medium sized dog!

Bed linen and towels are provided
Off street parking is available for up to 1 car
1 travel cot is available on request (please bring your own linen for the travel cot, as this is not provided). The master bedroom, on the first floor, is the most suitable for a cot, however please note that it is not a particularly large room
Highchairs are not provided, so guests will need to bring these with them
1 medium sized dog is welcome for an additional £40 per booking per dog. For pet rules, please visit our FAQs
Free WiFi
Mobile phone reception is variable
Smart TV
Enclosed garden
Charcoal BBQ (guests are responsible for providing charcoal and cleaning BBQ after use)
Gas central heating system
Starter supply of wood provided for the wood burning stove from October to April only
This property is laid out over three floors and guests with young children should note that the property has steep staircases, particularly up to the second floor, and the front door opens directly onto the road outside. There are also ceilings throughout and low beams on the stairs up to the second floor, which could make it difficult to carry an infant up the stairs. Consequently, guests with young children and infants should carefully assess if the property is suitable for them
Please note Heath Cottage is located on Wraggs Row, a small lane that runs parallel to the A429 (Fosse Way), just off Back Walls
The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk
No smoking or vaping is permitted throughout the property
Things to Note...
Hen and Stag parties are not permitted
Events are not permitted without prior consent
A security deposit is required at this property
Check in is from 16:00 and check out is by 10:00
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
