The large kitchen comes fully-equipped so look forward to making delicious home-cooked meals whilst enjoying a glass of wine.
Choose from one of the three bedrooms on the first floor to lay your head after a long day in Stow, all of which are neatly decorated and well-arranged; the master contains a king-size bed and benefits from an en-suite shower room to enjoy an invigorating rinse down and the two other bedrooms have double beds.
