Fantastic location with parking included which is rare in this area. The village of Stow on the Wold is incredibly charming and friendly with loads of shops, restaurants and walking paths. Best walk is right accross from the cottage through the footpath to the cricket field where views of the gorgeous Cottswold hills greet you. An incredibly dog friendly city, it seems to be the place for British travellers on break so not surrounded by touristy fluff, but instead filled with historical charm. It is busy in the summer so set out early! The cottage itself is comfortable and though it is three floors, which at first I thought it could be a challenge for me --they are carpeted with hand rails and the handy side grip at the corner landing had me manuevering them like a pro. There was a heat wave the first view days so a small fan would have helped tremendously as the air was still cool. The kitchen was modern with every tool needed to create a meal, however there are no basic condiments or spices so I ate out or bought ready made meals at the M&S shop in town. However, the needed necessities were provides such as soap, toilet paper and a few coffee pods, tea and sugar as well as a lovely surprise of cake and milk when I arrived. If I were staying longer I would have a proper shop at the Tesco a few minutes up the road but I enjoyed my meals at the many choices in town. I would love to spend a longer time there if I return some day. Highly reccommend Evenlode Cottage!
