Guests are encouraged to explore the local area, which is rich in natural beauty and cultural highlights. The Cotswolds and nearby attractions such as the Fosse Gallery Fine Art and Cotswold Motoring Museum provide opportunities for leisure and exploration. However, visitors should be aware of the Stow Horse Fair, a traditional event held twice a year, which can lead to increased crowds and some local businesses closing temporarily. With a maximum occupancy of six plus two guests, and specific rules regarding events and gatherings, Bag End and Peppercorn Cottage offer a unique and comfortable holiday experience, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the charm of the Cotswolds.
