Location Information

Horseshoe is a dog friendly cottage which sits in the centre of the small village of Lower Swell in the North Cotswolds. This picturesque village benefits from a popular country inn, The Golden Ball, which offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere and serves hearty meals and local ale all year round. Lower Swell is surrounded by stunning countryside with a number of footpaths and cycle routes available from the doorstep. Just a mile away is the bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, home to a variety of independent shops selling local produce and plenty of eateries. We would highly recommend a visit to The Old Butchers or The Old Stocks Inn, both offering fabulous Cotswold food and drink menus.
For your shopping essentials, there is a Co-op and a Tesco in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Lower Swell sits in the heart of the North Cotswolds and is perfectly placed for visiting Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden and Cheltenham, as well as the picture postcard villages of Broadway, Lower Slaughter and Blockley.
