Location Information

St Mary's Cottage is nestled in Lower Slaughter, one of the most picturesque villages and best places to stay in the Cotswolds. The River Eye flows through, creating a postcard-perfect scene, and passes the two highly regarded inns, The Slaughters Manor House and The Slaughters Country Inn, both of which offer excellent cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. Scenic walks lead to nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, with its lively shops, cafés and Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery, and in the other direction, a short stroll takes you to the neighbouring village of Upper Slaughter. For a memorable day out, attractions such as Daylesford, the Cotswold Farm Park and Burford Garden Centre are not to be missed.
For your shopping essentials, there is a Co-op in Bourton and a Tesco in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Lower Slaughter sits in the North Cotswolds and is ideally situated for visiting the well-loved towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden and Cheltenham, as well as the villages of Broadway, Naunton and Blockley. Explore more things to do in the Cotswolds over on our handy guide!
