About this property

Welcoming dog friendly Apartment - The Old School House

  • This former school house has been renovated into a lovely light and bright Cotswold holiday apartment which sleeps two guests, in a welcoming mezzanine style bedroom, with ensuite bathroom. Laid out over two floors, there is a sociable open plan living area with ample seating and a well-equipped kitchen. The original stone mullion windows are a striking feature which flood both floors with natural light throughout the day.

This combination of features makes for a wonderful getaway and even welcomes one dog!

    Things to Note...
    Events are not permitted without prior consent
    Check in is from 16:00 and check out is by 10:00
    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

The School house was easy to find and excellent off road parking. We arrived early and managed to get in ! The accommodation was ideal for our needs within easy walk to Stow main streets. The bed was really comfortable which is always a bonus ! We didn’t cook but there was all the equipment if needed. A thoughtful welcome package too Would return if we decided to visit the Cotswolds again .

Weekend in The Old School House

Our stay in The Old School House was perfect for our weekend to reset to the time zone coming from Australia. It is a cosy space with a functional kitchen and comfortable bed. The property is well located in a quiet street around the corner from the centre of town and the parking space is very handy.

What a great find!

Very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property. So close to the centre of Stow yet quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is supplied and a garden and parking literally outside the door too. Tony was extremely helpful and friendly and kindly offered flexibility with check in and check out times. Thank you for the treats - most generous. Thoroughly recommended.

Great location, lovely accommodation and host's personal touches

Great location and lovely accommodation. And Tony was an exceptional host. He provided a personal touch by reaching out before our arrival to share local recommendations, which were incredibly helpful in planning our activities during the stay. And then upon our arrival, we were welcomed with a warm gesture – a thoughtful surprise that included dog treats, biscuits, and beers/wine in the fridge. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in the Cotswolds.

Lovely Cotswold cottage

I would recommend staying at the Old School House in Stow, it was very comfortable and cosy, and also very well equipped. It was in an ideal location being near enough to the town centre, with everything in walking distance, but also on a very quiet street. The owner texted us before we arrived and was available by phone if there were any problems or queries which is always reassuring. A goodie bag was waiting on our arrival, with wine, biscuits, milk and doggy treats, which was a very nice touch.

Easter break 2025

My wife, son (of 1.5 years) and I had a fantastic stay. The apartment was actually much bigger than the pictures led us to believe and we felt like we had loads of room. The huge windows let in loads of light and the views were great. We ate in every night and really appreciated the clean modern facilities. The location is perfect. Even our son managed the short walk into the village without trouble. Tony was an excellent host and was even kind enough to leave us some Easter treats for our arrival. So kind and generous. Thank you Tony for a lovely stay.

Fantastic property and location for a break away

The Old School House did not disappoint. A lovely, comfortable property that is ideal for a break away and so well quipped. Not only with all those items you may forget to bring but also special touches to make you feel at home. Tony, the owner, is great and easily contactable if needed. The Old School House is well situated to the town and only a few minutes walk away from the shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. Would highly recommend The Sheep on Sheep Street for a lovely Sunday roast. Bourton-On-The-Water and Moreton-In-Marsh are only a ten minute drive away in either direction and if you wanted to drive a little further Blenheim Palace and Stratford-upon-Avon are not too far away. We had a fabulous, relaxing anniversary break and would 100% recommend the Old School House and would love to visit again.

Loved It!

A lovely light filled, cosy apartment with everything you need to make your stay perfect! A lovely welcome package awaited us and there were even treats for our dog! The interior was well presented, comfortable and warm. Outside the parking space was useful, as was the grass area with seating. It’s also only a short stroll to all that Stow has to offer but was very peaceful. Stow offers plenty of amenities, from shops and welcoming eateries to beautiful country walks. Tony was extremely helpful and attentive. We will definitely stay again when we return to Stow!

A long weekend in the Cotswolds.

This is the second year that we have booked a property through StayCotswold and, the same as last year, I cannot praise it highly enough. Accommodation was absolutely spotless, very well furnished and equipped. Tony (the property manager) contacted me in advance with the instruction to contact him if anything was amiss (nothing was). He knew that it was my birthday over the weekend and he left a birthday card, a cake (with candles), a box of biscuits, a bottle of wine and four bottles of beer as well as a carton of milk. This was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Stow on the Wold is a great location from which to explore the Cotswolds, already had a look for where to stay next year but to be honest would be more than happy to return to "The Old School House".

Fabulous pad for a cost stay in the Cotswolds for 2

The Old School House is an apartment forming part of the main school house. It's a conversion that has been very well done, preserving original features such as the stunning high windows where the sun streams through in the morning, and the open plan design creates a wonderful sense of space. Things I always worry about when booking a holiday cottage did not disappoint: Bed: V comfy and good pillows Kitchen -well equipped, sharp knives and even tuppawares (always helpful) Entrance hall - large enough to dry your dog down, get wet coat and boots off before going into main house. Location - incredibly quiet yet only 5 mins walk into centre of Stow Parking - yes off road and needed in Stow. Only thing to note is the garden is not secure - so was outside in dressing gown for that early morning dog wee, but minor inconvenience. We will return - Stow such a central location for exploring the Cotswolds and a lovely base that felt homely. Owner incredibly helpful and genuinely wanted us to have a good time - thank you for the treats :-)

Excellent location

A lovely old school house converted. We had the end apartment which had off street parking ( rare around this location) . The place it's self was excellent. Great living room and fully equipped kitchen. Open plan mezzanine bedroom with storage room. And every accessory at hand, ie 2 large fans which we definitely needed. Large double bed and bathroom. My only negative about the whole place is I'm 6 foot 5 tall and the entrance to the upstairs bathroom is quite low, but I managed. Excellent location for all the local villages and places to see. Will definitely be booking this place again in the future.

A comfortable and relaxed stay

We had a lovely stay at The Old School House. The place was very clean and quiet. Perfect for a few days stay in the Cotswolds. There were lots of nice little touches throughout the house to make you feel comfortable and special. Everything you could need was provided in the kitchen and bathroom. So nice to have a variety of cooking utensils and cutlery, rather than two of everything because only two people were staying. The Old School House was a perfect location for Stow on the Wold as well as other lovely locations in the surrounding area. It was great to be able to bring our little dog too. Tony was very helpful and only too happy to help. We would definitely stay again.
