Holiday Cottage in the Cotswolds: Birch House, Stow on the Wold

Sleeps 8 + Baby : Prop C041

This very attractive, recently constructed Cotswold stone house makes a wonderful base for a family or group of friends. Birch House is quietly situated, just five minutes' stroll from the centre of this popular market town and is ideally placed if you like to go out for a meal and do not want the worry of having to drive. The house catches both the morning and evening sunshine and enjoys the benefit of a double aspect in several of the very pleasant rooms hence has a light and airy feel.

A small lawned garden at the front and a patio at the rear of the house with table and chairs provide pleasant outside spaces for you to sit and enjoy a drink or barbecue. A table tennis table is provided for those who like to test their skills and a colour TV in each bedroom as well as the sitting room ensures the programme of your choice!  The spacious kitchen dining room has a superb dining table perfect for a celebration meal and the charming and comfortable sitting room also has a bed sofa for the occasional extra one or two persons allowing a maximum of 10 guests. Birch House is super for a family get together all year round with a wide choice of many excellent restaurants on the doorstep and fabulous walks leading around the town and to nearby villages. This is a beautifully presented and very well equipped property from which to enjoy your stay in this lovely area.

Stow on the Wold is known as the highest village in the Cotswolds and offers much to the discerning visitor, it also has many other attractive villages a few minutes drive away and well worth a visit including: Upper and Lower Slaughter, The Swells, The Oddingtons, Bourton on the Water (here you will find Birdland, The Motor Museum, The Perfumery, The Model Village); Burford (The Cotswold Wildlife Park is here), The Guitings (The Cotswold Farm Park is close by); Chipping Campden with its beautiful High Street and splendid architecture (close by are Hidcote Gardens, National Trust).
