Little Elms - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The owners have gone to great lengths to create a fabulous, contemporary, sleeps-four home, whilst conserving the original 1700's features. Throughout there's a blend of modern art, Cotswold Company furniture and Farrow & Ball paintwork. The master bedroom has a magnificent emperor-size bed, all the way from the Pottery Barn in the USA, while the second bedroom has a delightful, bespoke bunk bed. On the first floor, with a great view to the eponymous elm tree and Market Square, is the spacious living room with a 63" smart TV.

Little Elms is decorated throughout with Farrow & Ball Ammonite and Moles Breath paint, giving it a calm and soothing feel that's fresh in the warmer months and cosy at the colder times of year.

Ground Floor


Entrance Hall:
Step through the front door into a small hallway, with stairs to the upper floors straight ahead and the kitchen-dining room to the left. Here you'll find an umbrella stand and room to take of shoes and walking boots.

The Kitchen-Dining Room:
The beautiful, bright, open-plan kitchen-dining room is the focal point of the house and a great space to relax, cook, socialise and enjoy your meals around a generously sized table. There is every appliance needed for preparing home-cooked food, from the Smeg fridge-freezer to the abundance of kitchen cabinets and work surfaces. An original window seat is a lovely place to perch and watch the world go by - through the wooden shutters. Behind the door is a handy upcycled church pew with seating and hooks for coats and storage for footwear. A Porcelain-tiled floor, with underfloor heating, provides a smart finishing touch.

Basement
Cotswold stone stairs lead down from the kitchen-dining room into a vaulted room with original stone flooring. At the far end of the basement is a newly installed cloakroom with a toilet and wash basin.

First Floor
Head up the carpeted stairs, with banister, to the first floor landing off which are the living room and bunk bedroom. The landing has a handy sideboard and a full-length mirror.

The Living Room:
This stylish, spacious room features a long, L-shaped, leather sofa, a swivel armchair, original, exposed beams and a large (63") smart TV on a retro TV unit. Ceiling lights and standard lamps provide the perfect lighting, both day and night. Snuggle up with a book, watch a film or take a nap on the fabulously comfy sofa! (Note: the fireplace is for decorative purposes only).

Bedroom One - Bunk Bed Room:
This delightful bedroom is furnished with a custom-built bunk bed with a pretty arch framing the top bunk. Each bed has its own in-built lighting and shelves to place personal items. The bedroom has a smart TV and is furnished with a large wardrobe, chest of drawers, a mirror and a set of removable steps to access the top bunk. Though ideal for younger guests, the bedroom feels grown up too, with its modern art and contemporary fabrics. (Each single bed measures 3ft x 6ft3").

Second Floor
Carpeted stairs with a banister lead up to the top floor landing off which is the master bedroom and family shower room.

Master Bedroom:
Up on the top floor, with a fabulous view out over the square and the towering elm tree, the gorgeous master bedroom is the most romantic of retreats. With its sumptuous emperor-size bed (2m/6ft6") grey, rich lavender, and subtle pink tones, this bedroom draws you in to relax and unwind. Furnished with bedside tables and reading lamps, an Art Deco-style dressing table, a chest of drawers, hanging rail (not shown), and a full-length mirror. A door leads directly from the bedroom into the shower room, creating an en-suite feel and purpose.

Family Shower Room:
The stylish, spa-like shower room features floor-to-ceiling marbled tiling and a double walk-in shower (with overhead and handheld showerheads). There's also a washbasin in a vanity unit with a mirror over, a toilet, and a heated towel rail.

The family shower room has two Jack & Jill style doors, with one opening to the master bedroom and the other to the landing, providing direct access for guests in the bunk bedroom. Both doors have locks on the inside to ensure privacy.

Outside

Little Elms does not have its own outside space, but it is directly in front of the green on the Square where there is seating and the famous elm tree and ancient town stocks.

A Wonderful Base to Explore The Cotswold Region
if you're interested in exploring the Cotswolds.you can't beat this property. Stow is a great small town with many restaurants,bakery and shops and the rental is right on the square. Parking wasn't an issue if you're exploring the area. during the day. By the time you return,there's plenty. And,if not,parking at the Tesco is only a short walk away. The house is comfortable and well equipped. Definitely would stay there again.

Peaceful stay in a beautiful town
This property has been beautifully renovated and the perfect stay for our family of 4. We stayed at Little Elms and took day trips around the Cotswolds. The day after we arrived there was a market in the square out in front of little Elms. We had the best almond croissants. We checked out most of the pubs, restaurants and coffee shops in town. All were amazing. Overall Little Elms and Stow on the Wold were the highlight of our summer.

Cosy home stay in quiet Cotswolds town
The property is centrally located in Stow-on-the-Wold and perfectly placed to enjoy what the town has to offer during the day. After 4pm midweek, the town has very little to offer besides a number of pubs (no bad thing in itself) but this is no reflection on the property, as we were grateful to be staying in such a comfortable and well-equipped property. It's well positioned for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds, and we were fortunate enough to be able to park directly outside which was really useful for loading and unloading with a baby. We really enjoyed our stay and its a shame we couldn't have stayed longer.
