Evenlode Cottage

About this property

Located in the centre of the ancient market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, Evenlode Cottage is the perfect location for a break from everyday life with your loved one. Arranged over three floors, the cottage has undergone a complete transformation to cater for the requirements of the ever more discerning visitor, to bring you a wonderful retreat from which to explore the Cotswolds. Entering from the shared courtyard, step into the cottage to be greeted by the charming open-plan kitchen and living space, where you will find everything you need for a self-catered stay, including a wonderful range of appliances to create delicious meals, or choose to sit and relax in one of the bright and inviting armchairs over a glass of wine whilst catching up with the news of the day on the wall mounted flat-screen TV. On the first floor you will find a second spot where you can kick back and relax in the snug sitting area, it makes a wonderful escape with a good book in hand as you snuggle up into the corner sofa enjoying the electric fire. On the second floor is the bedroom, boasting a king-size bed and luxuriously appointed with its own television, ample storage space and its own gleaming shower room, it makes it a lovely spot to unwind. While a further shower room rests on the first floor there is plenty of preparation space to get ready for your action-packed day. Sit out in the courtyard with a refreshing cup of coffee to start your day, or if you fancy getting out and about, then you can find all that Stow-on-the-Wold has to offer on your doorstep; believed to date back to the 10th century when it was originally settled as a fortification due to its location, you can meander through the narrow streets, apparently created in this manner to control livestock sold at the regular fairs, to now find a selection of quaint shops and tearooms to sample. You will also pick up on the importance of the town during the English Civil War; enjoy a refreshing pint in historic King's Head, or a bite to eat in the Porch House. If you travel slightly further afield, Bourton-on the-Water provides an extremely tranquil experience, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds', it provides its visitors with picturesque bridges to stroll across and a good host of attractions including the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, its very own Model Village and the excitement of the Birdland & Jurassic Journey providing a large park and gardens to explore housing over five hundred birds and thirty species of dinosaur, well-worth a visit no matter your age! Evenlode Cottage makes a perfect base for a break in the Cotswolds.

Stow-on-the-Wold is known as the highest town in the Cotswolds, offering its guests a wide-range of fun-filled attractions to explore. Get lost in the local history of the town at its annual Gypsy Horse Fair, with craft fairs and monthly Farmers' markets being held too, or explore the market square with its shops, quaint tearooms and array of eateries. Roam one of the many walking routes from the town including the Macmillan Way or Heart of Englad Way, or explore the 'Venice of the Cotswolds'; Bourton-on-Water for an extremely scenic day out.
