About this property

Copperbeech is a striking Victorian townhouse situated within the historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold and is the perfect haven to explore the breath-taking Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Well-complimented by its excellent contemporary features yet still retaining its early 1800s character, this property is the perfect home-from-home retreat for families or groups of friends.

Entering the property, you will be welcomed by the elegant and comforting sitting room, which has a stunning brick hearth containing a woodburning stove and is the perfect room for relaxing with the fire crackling away, with a glass of your favourite drink. Moving through the property, the open-plan kitchen/diner is a bright and airy space, perfect for socialising with friends or family and cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, overlooking the manicured garden.

Copperbeech is an excellent choice for your trip to Stow-on-the-Wold.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens.

    The cottage was perfect, so warm, cosy and comfortable. The cottage was so well equipped it was like home from home, particularly the kitchen, it had everything. The garden was very pretty, it would be perfect for summer months. Tastefully decorated, with the decor making it feel like a home and not a holiday let. I would have no hesitation in recommending Copperbeech, and would certainly stay here again if in the area. The only small downside was the parking, as we were there the weekend and it was very busy. Having said that we did manage to park in the street, but would be hesitant to go out for the day incase we couldn’t re park the cars. However, Stow on the Wold has everything you need with plenty of shops, pubs and cafes. A lovely weekend was had by all.

    They managed to keep the historical nature of the home while having all the modern updates and conveniences. It was comfortable and classic. The location is terrific for exploring Stow on the Wold on foot and a short drive to many other charming Costwolds towns. The parking was easy. We ended up having two cars and were able to park one out front and the other in the convenient and inexpensive car park. A perfect place to enjoy our holiday. We didn't use the backyard due to the weather, but imagine it would be lovely to sit and have tea or a drink in warmer weather. One thing to note is there are no soaps or shampoos for the bathrooms provided. We had brought our own, but for the price would expect at least some bar soap and small shampoos. Also, due to the steep and winding nature of the stairs and the heaviness of our suitcases, we ended up not carrying them up the stairs and only took up to the bedroom areas what we needed during our stay.
