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

Beautiful home!

We loved this home and found it extremely comfortable for our family. Somehow I missed the check in email - the only form of communication with the property management group. They were unreachable after 5pm and we found ourselves a bit confused. We figured it out in the end and all was smooth sailing after that. Thank you!
