Head into the first reception room – a formal setting that exudes warmth, backdropped by soothing sage walls, an inviting fireplace and an assortment of sink-in seating. For more cosy conversation spots, there’s a snug set against stylish shiplap walls. Elsewhere, the garden room introduces a playful counterpoint, its bold artwork and statement orange sofa positioned perfectly for cinematic lounging. Here, bi-folding doors retract entirely, dissolving the boundary between the indoors and the garden beyond — ideal for streamlined flow during the summer months.
In the picturesque market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, this six-bedroom Cotswolds home for rent is designed for stylish living and effortless hosting.

The living spaces
Kitchen & dining
The shaker-style kitchen is an inspired space for culinary creativity. Pale cabinetry – accented with gilded hardware – is softly illuminated by a generous window. A glossy-topped island centres the space, curving round with neatly -crafted wood panelling. Morning conversations naturally gather around the red leather breakfast stools.
Through a pair of archways, the dining room appears as a quiet sanctuary. At its heart, a wooden table provides the stage for everything from intimate family suppers to celebratory feasts. Back in the kitchen, the home bar adopts a richer, evening mood: golden worktops gleam against olive-green cabinetry, inviting nightcaps and leisurely cocktail hours.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
The individually-designed bedrooms are at once uplifting and tranquil. Expect a considered interplay of pinkish tones, shiplap detailing, patterned textiles and soft natural light. Five bedroom suites occupy the first floor, while the voluminous loft level hosts an additional suite and a further bedroom, with bespoke beds carved into the eaves. Bathrooms echo the home’s elevated aesthetic: sleek tiles, sculptural bathtubs and refined fixtures create spaces with spa-like calibre.
Outdoor space
In the private courtyard garden, a manicured lawn intersects with pale stone terraces, forming an effortless backdrop for sun-soaked afternoons. Beyond, a timber-clad dining pavilion offers a rustic setting for alfresco meals.

The surroundings
A jewel among the Cotswold towns, Stow-on-the-Wold is the perfect base for unhurried exploration. Wander between its famed antiques stores and inviting tea rooms, before admiring the yew-tree-framed doors of St. Edwards Church – thought to be an inspiration for Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
A trip to the Cotswolds wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Daylesford, just an 8-minute drive away. There’s a farm shop stocked with organic produce, a farm-to-fork restaurant and a wellness spa by Bamford. Take a gentle stroll through green fields and you’re in the village of Lower Oddington, with its famed gastropub The Fox serving outstanding food in a handsome setting.
Boutique shopping and art galleries await in nearby Kingham and Chipping Norton, while the Michelin-acclaimed Wild Rabbit showcases modern British cuisine in a historic renovated inn. Affectionately known as the Venice of the Cotswolds, Bourton-on-the-Water charms beside the gently flowing River Windrush. There’s plenty to see here, from exotic birds at Birdland Park & Gardens to classic cars at the Cotswold Motoring Museum and the whimsical Model Village. For further reflection, visit Burford’s 900-year-old church – particularly enchanting at Christmas.
