Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

Location Information

Lower Swell is a small scenic village, located just a mile from the market town of Stow-on-the-Wold where you will find a bustling Cotswold town, full of 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. From the cottage doorstep, are a number of footpaths so why not head out on foot and return to to the village pub, The Golden Ball for a hearty meal and local ale and immerse yourself in village life.
For your shopping essentials, there is a Co-op in the market square of Stow-on-the-Wold or a Tesco just on the outskirts of Stow.
Travellers Joy sits in the heart of the North Cotswolds and is perfectly placed for visiting other much loved Cotswold towns and villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh and The Slaughters, all within easy reach by car.

  • The front door opens onto the road and so guests with young children should take particular care to ensure that children are supervised when the door is open

This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates
