The property

Lavender Cottage is a beautiful double-fronted retreat, resting in the bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, in the charming Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing break in this wonderful market town. Upon arrival, you are welcomed by the elegantly decorated sitting room, which blends contemporary and period features to create a homely, comforting atmosphere.

Bold colours and fashionable furnishings set this property apart.

Look forward to a relaxing evening with loved ones in front of the woodburning stove, unwinding with a glass of your favourite drink and a good book from the shelves. Rustle up a delicious meal in the well-equipped, sociable kitchen/diner, which boasts stunning skylights that allow sunlight to pour into the open space, along with underfloor heating to warm your toes after a day of exploring.

Bi-fold doors open into the enclosed split-level garden, bordered by shrubs, potted flowers, dwarf olive trees and a graceful cherry tree.

Enjoy al fresco dining at the glass rattan table, or climb the steps to the upper tier, where an elegant bench awaits.

A side gate leads to an alleyway and onto the main road for added convenience. Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom, which also doubles as a utility space, ideal for storing coats and shoes or giving muddy boots a quick clean before heading upstairs. After a day of adventure, head up to the first floor, where you’ll find two bedrooms and a stylish shower room.

The first is a pleasing double room; the second, a convenient twin room with an ornamental fireplace.

The pristine shower room features an invigorating walk-in shower, a perfect way to wind down. The master bedroom, located on the second floor, is an impressive dual-aspect space with exposed wooden beams and a king-size bed.

This room benefits from its own bathroom, so you can soak in the tub with a drink in hand, far from the hustle and bustle. After a restful night, start your morning with a hearty breakfast in the kitchen and get ready for another day of adventure. Just moments from your doorstep lies the historic market square, the heart of the community, home to boutique shops, tearooms, pubs and restaurants.

Don’t miss the farmers’ market on the second Thursday of each month, where you can sample tempting local produce.

Stay local and visit the Fosse Gallery to admire contemporary British art, enjoy a bite to eat and a drink at The Stag at Stow, or indulge in tea and cakes at The Old Bakery Tea Room. As one of the highest towns in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold offers plenty of scenic walks and cycle routes with beautiful rural views.

Explore the Gloucestershire Way – a 94-mile trail from Chepstow Castle to Tewkesbury, or enjoy more local strolls through the surrounding countryside. Plan a day trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, take a tour with Undiscovered Cotswolds, or join a guided adventure with Cotswold Walks or Hikes & Bikes, all just a short drive from Lavender Cottage. Bring your loved ones and experience the charm of Stow-on-the-Wold with a stay at Lavender Cottage, your perfect Cotswolds retreat.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.
