About this property
The Old School House is exactly as it says it is! Set within the original school building this spacious romantic property is perfect for a couple looking to retreat to one of the Cotswolds most attractive market towns. Superb pubs, bars and restaurants are within minutes walk, and yet in the other direction you in the famous Cotswolds countryside too. Inside, the property is a light and bright apartment, with the huge mullion window dominating the living space, which literally throws light into the open plan living space and (upstairs) bedroom! In fact you can lie in bed and look across the roof tops of Stow into the countryside. The owner has taken care to furnish the home in a very comfortable style and ensure that it is well equipped for your stay. Outside , there is a small sunny garden to the side which is perfect for relaxing. In our opinion this is a great spot for a Cotswolds break, fresh and comfortable and all you could wish for on your doorstep.
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. Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.

Welcome pack of biscuits and milk was a nice touch. Information on recycling would have been useful as we could find nowhere locally to dispose of plastic. We were also rather surprised to see a man, obviously a neighbour, sunbathing in the garden on a couple of days!! NOTE. You need to be extremely careful entering and leaving the bathroom because of the limited headroom in the doorway. Despite notices warning "Mind your head" it is easy to forget, leading to unfortunate consequences!

We would definitely revisit and recommend you. Just a couple of things, very minor, not sure if outside cushions could be made available? Also we had fun and games with the shower, but again a minor thing, we loved our stay and would like to thank the owners very much.
