Horseshoe Cottage - Cosy Stay by Stow on the Wold

Lower Swell is the picturesque village you’ve never heard of, and right there, hidden in plain sight - Horseshoe Cottage. A calm escape made for slowing down and switching off. If you’ve ever wondered what people mean by “a house with character,” this is it. Blending Cotswold charm with understated French-cottage design, it’s a place to while away the hours and feel instantly at home. The space You’ll have two calm, comfortable bedrooms upstairs, sleeping up to four guests. The principal has a super-king bed and Smart TV, while the second offers a cosy double bed. There’s a full bathroom upstairs with bath and shower, and downstairs you’ll find an additional toilet and sink. The living space centres around a log burner and that ridiculously comfortable sofa that’s perfect for “no, I promise I’m awake” evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped for easy meals and has a dining table for four, though with so many great restaurants nearby you may not need it. Interiors are soft, neutral, and grounded - a French-cottage-inspired take on classic Cotswold charm. Step outside into your private enclosed garden with outdoor seating and a cantilever parasol. It’s a deceptively easy place to linger... perfect for those slow breakfasts, long summertime reads, or nightcaps under dusky evening skies. Guest access You’ll have the whole cottage to yourself during your stay, including the private garden. Check in from 3:00 PM and check out by 11:00 AM. You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues. There’s on-street parking available, and a village car park a stones throw from the cottage. We also have a front-garden, where neighbours have access to get to their property, but it is strictly ours. Other things to note To ensure a peaceful stay for you and our neighbours, we ask that you follow a few simple rules: • We are pet-friendly (maximum of one dog). • Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. • No parties or events. • Smoking not permitted inside the property.
