Ground floor

• You enter Farthing Cottage via the light and airy sun room with dining table and chairs - the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or supper with windows and French door that overlook the pretty garden.
• This room leads into a cosy yet good-sized living area which has a magical atmosphere with lots of character features including a beamed ceiling, Cotswold stone floor and exposed walls (keeping it cool in the summer months). Snuggle up together on the sofa and watch a movie in front of the 32 inch Smart TV (DVD also player provided) whilst enjoying the flickering flames of the log burner in the original stone fireplace - just perfect at the end of a fun-filled day exploring the Cotswolds. There is a flat-panel bluetooth hi-fi for listening to music.

First floor

• The spacious romantic double bedroom is located upstairs and affords a lovely aspect looking out over the garden. The windows let the sun flood in first thing in the morning - lay in bed with your morning tea enjoying the morning rays. With lots of character the vaulted beamed ceiling provides a nice sense of space and wooden floor boards and antique pine furniture (including a large wardrobe and chest of drawers offering plenty of clothes storage) compliment the character features. A pretty hand carved four poster bed with dreamy cream voile drapes provides a central feature and will be made up with fresh white bed linen ready for your arrival - a truly romantic room with a lovely atmosphere, complimented by pretty fabrics by local designer Sam Wilson.

Outside: A rarity in Stow, Farthing Cottage has off-road parking to the front of the property for one vehicle (or two at a squeeze if parked carefully). A gate takes you through into the garden with borders for flowers and herbs and seating areas for the bistro table and chairs and wooden steamers for lounging (provided during the summer months). A Weber charcoal BBQ is also provided (charcoal can be purchased locally). The garden enjoys a fair amount of sunshine and is a lovely place to relax when you want a day off exploring or an alfresco glass or meal at the end of a fun-packed day.
