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
Please note there are only child facilities for 1 infant

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Nepenthe in Stow on the Wold. A perfect cottage. Pretty, unusually spacious, immaculately clean and comfortably equipped with everything you could need on holiday. Its central location in Stow meant we were surrounded by super places to eat. Most notably the Old Butcher’s which is fabulous. We were also within a very easy drive to many of the best Cotswold villages. Altogether a fantastic break.

We've recently returned from a 4 night break at Nepenthe Cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold. What a perfect location, right in the centre of Stow, just a few steps from the pubs, restaurants and shops. The cottage was perfectly equipped for our break. The lounge was so comfortable and cosy, as were the bedrooms. It was very handy having the 3 bathrooms too. The kitchen was well-equipped too. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed with an illuminated Christmas Tree... what a great touch, so festive. The cottage is the perfect location for exploring not just Stow by foot, but also the wider Cotswolds area by car. The nearby restaurants, cafes, tea-rooms and pubs were great... we had so much choice! We look forward to staying at Nepenthe Cottage again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We celebrated my husbands birthday here with our two adult children, their partners and our two dogs.The cottage was cozy warm, well equipped and immaculately clean. The host had left milk and cake for our arrival which was a nice touch. The log burner was a highlight which we enjoyed playing cards infront of each evening. We took a trip to another picturesque village, Lower Slaughter, for a lovely long walk and enjoyed a roast at the nearby, dog friendly, Bell pub. The only negative was the twin beds had not been made into a king as requested on our booking but overall a fantastic weekend and we would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Nepenthe. The house was lovely, with everything that we needed to enjoy our time there. It's location was great, very central which meant we could easily explore Stow on the Wold with no need to use our car all the time. The facilities at the house were very good, the beds were very comfortable, bathrooms/ensuites were really nice, it has comfortable chairs and sofas and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The under floor heating in the well appointed kitchen was a real bonus.
