The village of Bledington is also nearby, offering a traditional pub and a 12th Century church, as well as being a popular location for walkers, due to its location within the Evenlode Valley and being part of the Oxfordshire Way route. The market town of Stow-on-the-Wold sits on top of an 800ft hill, at the junction of the main roads running through the Cotswolds, including the Roman Fosse Way, which runs from Exeter to Lincoln. There is a selection of shops and restaurants, as well the Medieval St Edward's Church, historic market square and Fosse Gallery, while the 17th Century Chastleton House, owned by the National Trust, is within easy reach.

Dawn is a lovely lady and could not do enough to make sure we were comfortable. The accommodation is very cosy and there is everything you need to self cater should you so wish. Very clean and warm too. Molly's Bit is very conveniently situated close to Stow, Bourton on the Water, it's not far from all of the beautiful Cotswold villages. Highgrove Gardens and Westbirton Arboretum are just under an hour away too and well worth a visit. Thank you Dawn and we hope to see you again. Patricia & Richard
