The room was OK but very small. It was also a 2 minute walk from the main building with the bat and restaurant. The room itself was also a bit small. That said, it was reasonably priced, the check-in was friendly and there were no major problems.
Jeffrey
All good
Rachel
Very nice. During the summer months I’m sure it’s very busy .
Lynn
Stayed in Stuart house boutique room small main issues was that was no where to hang clothes no storage space , but nice little room with lovely courtyard and seating outside , staff helpful and welcoming , We stayed in heatwave the room would have unbearable hot without the fan supplied as couldn’t really open the windows . Tired in places but we had a overall lovely stay and would stay again
Emma
Lovely stay, the staff were fantastic and the room was lovely and they looked after us and our pooch!
Ffion
Lovely hotel with lovely staff. The room was good, can tell it's an old building as the floor was not level, which effected the bed, but was still okay. The amenities were good, our coffee machine wasnt working, but when i saw one of th The hotel has very little parking, enough for 5/6 cars, however there is a public car park right next to the hotel, which is free for an overnight stay.

Had a lovely stay at The Bell at Stow. The hotel is full of character and charm, with beautifully kept rooms that feel cosy yet refined.
We did notice the sheets weren’t clean upon arrival, but this was quickly addressed by the staff, who handled it promptly and professionally. Service overall was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and homely.
Its central location in Stow-on-the-Wold makes it a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds. Despite the small hiccup, it was a pleasant stay and one we’d happily return to.

The hotel room was excellent and the bar and restaurant were also excellent. However, parking was an issue. No parking at property and the town pay carpark was full.
Joann
All of it. Staff was top notch! Room was gorgeous and food and location couldn’t have been better…. I’d give 10 stars if I could!
Nick
The smallest room i have ever stayed at. I didn't have a roon at the bell.
Deborah
Great accommodations. Close to everything in town

Nice room but needs a bit of TLC. Hairdryer didn’t work and we only had half a roll of loo paper.
Breakfast was excellent, very good quality food.

Room was advertised as double but was in fact a single, it was a good job I was on my own, rather expensive for a single room
Laura
Would have been 5/5 however not hot water for the entire stay.
When we asked we were told the water had been turned on however it hadn’t.
We then were offered a full refund and a week later I see money has been taken from my account with no approval for 50% of the room. Really wanted to recommend this place as it could be so lovely but staff and service really lets it down!

Be aware that the room we were in wasup some very tight,steep with a twist stairs. No good if you have any mobility issues. Room was an annexed builing a 5-10 min walk from The Bell but it's literally in the centre of Stow so a great location. The Mrs wasn't so impressed with the access and the spiderwebs so i decided not to mention the urine stains on the toilet rim. I choose not to complain as overall i was happy with the room

Fantastic!
We stayed for 2 nights, the room was spotless, the bed was super comfy, lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom. We had breakfast included in the room rate which was really good. Would definitely stay there again.
Martin
How can you not like a place where the rooms are named after animals?
If I had a choice I'd have gone for dormouse, owl or stag, but Pheasant was good too. It was cosy, and the bed was comfy. And there was a bookshelf on the landing which was perfect for bookworms like me.
I ate in the pub, and had the tastiest bangers and mash that I've had in a long time. Would certainly recommend.

Unacceptably small room
The room was not where we checked in and quite inconvenient to have to walk to a different location. It was unacceptably small. We only had backpacks but if you had a suitcase you couldn’t have fitted it anywhere! The bathroom however was fine.
Verified traveler
Should have been a lot better
Sent to off site accomodation 5 min walk from hotel which was unexpected. Entry to this building was through a small private car park /garden area which had full rubbish bags and other scrap fittings like old tv's and other rubbish piled up and the small garden area had litter all around and furniture and a table that was unusable because it was so dirty. The shower in the the room only worked for around 1 minute then the water flow stopped. No blackout blinds fitted so not able to get a decent sleep. Breakfast was fine.

Hotel Closed
We arrived to find the hotel was closed for refurbishment! We booked this in December, drove over 3 hrs and no one thought to let us know! We are 2 pensioners in their 70’s and were left stranded with no accommodation, disgraceful service!!

Was a great stay. Tiny tiny room but with everything I needed. Quite cosy actually ( the dormouse room). Staff were great, parking easy

Beautiful boutique accommodation in one of the Cotswolds prettiest towns. Was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the small rooms were. Perfectly suited for one and would accommodate two comfortably as long as you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room

Amazing property in Stow. Very modern, clean, great service, and parking.

It was a pleasure to stay. The staff upgraded our room on arrival and gave us a feeling that we were important to them. The room was comfortable and the mini bar was a nice throwbacks touch. Only thing lacking was the shower cap for my wife.

Lovely rooms but noisy
Rooms were lovely and decorated to a high standard however there is no sound proofing between the pub and your room. You could hear conversations of those in the pub below but it did quiet down at 11 which wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately there are also rooms above which have a very squeaky floor/bed which woke us up multiple times in the night even when sleeping with ear plugs. I do appreciate it’s a beautiful old pub but they do need to try and do something about the noise.
Sean
The management were most accommodating and gave us an excellent upgrade because they were not busy. The Pub downstairs was very friendly and the town is very quaint.
Paul
The Bell at stow was fabulous and the lovely lady member of staff who we dealt with on two occasions was brilliant. The room was beautifully decorated and very clean. The only downside was the size of the room ( squirrel). The room was very small and by no means suitable for a couple to share, I would say more appropriate for single occupancy. Location wise perfect for shopping and visiting other areas within the Cotswolds,
Mike
Arrived at around 8.50pm checked in & told I was in an annexe - given the key & a tiny map - 10 wins walk back up the hill in the dark & drizzle - key didn't work - tried to call the maIN HOTEL reception - answer phone, eventually spoke to the human - why did she send you there . . . walked back down the hill, offered the smallest room ever - superb decor, but no space to swing a dormouse (the name of the room) luckily chef stayed on 35 mins & cooked some lovely chicken Kiev, didn't bother with breakfast - at £30 too rich even for my business expenses
Andy
Great room, stunning location
James
Great place with super friendly staff, good food and chill pub area
Judith
This is a charming property, with one drawback. If your room is in the Stuart House annex, be aware that the ceilings are low and in particular the doorways are very low. If you are tall, it is easy to bump your head on them, inspite of the posted warnings
Sara
Lovely relaxed break
Rooms are lovely but as our tv did not work (emergency call out was in place), we were provided with a discount.
Tracey
Had a nice one night stay. Room was small but had pretty much everything in it. Restaurant was lovely, nice food. Staff very helpful and friendly. Reasonably priced accommodation would recommend for a short stay.
Kevin
The location was very good and the food at the bell was fantastic
Meike
Stayed at Stuart House in the Horse room, which was beautiful. Room service was missed the first day, but staff were happy to bring over essentials once we had notified them. It's a bit of a walk to the pub for breakfast, but not a big deal even for my mum who has mobility issues. Breakfast is good and can be adapted to be veggie on request. Plenty of choices if you like eggs. The croissants and fruit were a nice touch. Good coffee machine in the room. Located in the centre of Stow with pubs and shops around. Would certainly stay again.
kathy
Did not realize this reservation was not at The Bell. Actually in a separate house up the street with no staff and no information on how to contact someone, entering through the back parking lot. Freezing first night since didn’t know how to turn on radiator and no information. Room was next to a street right outside our window. Between the cars going by and the late night party goers singing at the top of their lungs at 2 in the morning it was not restful. The ceilings were so low my husband had to duck to get through the door. There was an 80 couple that was placed upstairs and had to climb a very narrow winding stairs with their luggage. They also said they weren’t aware this is where they would be staying.
Sharon
Really enjoyed our stay at the Stuart house. Clean, nice bathroom and a complimentary night cap was a nice touch. Loved Stow and this is in a great spot close to the town centre.
David
Check in was brilliant. The staff allowed us to check in very early and get ready for a wedding we were attending near by. We were given complementary drinks, which was very kind of them.
Our room was decorated beautifully with all of the amenities you’d need for a few nights stay.
I feel like the breakfast could’ve been better. The only juice available was apple. The only fruit was watermelon or banana. A wider selection of juices and fruit, along with some pastries, would make it the perfect breakfast. The cooked breakfast was cooked perfectly (although slightly greasy for my liking.)
Overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank you for having us we will definately be back :)

Perfect stay in Cotswolds
Fantastic stay . Presented BETTER than pics online . Great atmosphere . Beautiful food at reasonable price . 2 min walk to village .staff friendly . Visually beautifully presented
Richard
Our room was in a seperate unmanned building 300 meters up the road. Our first room was up a very narrow spiral staircase. We were moved to a downstairs room very close to the road. Breakfast was back down the hill in the Bell building (my wife wasn't prepared to do that and were refunded for her breakfasts).
Rooms were well equiped and decorated and toiletries were provided, large walk in shower, car parking was provided free.

Stow over-night
Brief stay, arrived very late, could not have been made to feel more welcome and looked after really well, super helpful and pleasant. Location of room was on different site, not the easiest to find but really good effort made to help prevent problems. shower drainage was a little slow but super well equipped room and very pleasant stay.
Matt
Great stay at the Bell, fabulous room, great team, good quality food and drink options
Shannon
Highly recommend this property. I was at Stuart House which is a short walk from the Inn. It was charming and had everything I needed. The team were gracious and friendly.
Tracie
Lovely little find in the beautiful village of Stowe. Comfortable room, clean and well stocked with coffee, tea and even biscuits for the dog. A well stocked mini bar too. We stayed in the Stuart rooms about 200 yards down from the pub. Breakfast in the pub was lovely. Fairly priced and a great location for walks and surrounding villages. Nice toiletries and great shower. Easily walkable to lo lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
Helen
A little disappointed
We booked a double room,but were a little disappointed on arrival to find out we werent staying at the Bell as expected, but rooms 200 yds up the street at Stuart House. The room was extremely small and we found it quite difficult to move around the bed area. They had made the most of the space as it was fully stocked with fridge, tea and coffee making , iron and board, hairdrier, TV etc. But a little cramped for our liking. Would have booked a superior double had we known
Yvonne
Has a lovely stay. Room great. Breakfast was really good. Staff friendly.
Kenneth Graham
Impressive Inn in Stow
Superb place to stay. The main inn/pub is near the centre of Stow and serves super food. There is a small courtyard development 100m up the road, which is where I stayed in an upgraded room. The staff are great, and I would highly recommend this as a place to stay - I was very impressed.
Donald
A lovely warm cosy hospitable hotel . Stow on the Wolds a gem of a town , would definitely recommend The Bell a spot on evening meal complements to the Chef, staff very welcoming even got greeted parking the car . Room very comfortable and well equipped and a good breakfast to start the day will definitely return thank you
Jeanne
We actually stayed in the Stuart House that’s up the street from The Bell. So don’t know how the rooms are in The Bell, but would devotedly recommend the Stuart House property.

Pre Christmas break / Blenheim Palace
We was originally booked into a boutique room in the Stuart House. First impressions the room was lovely and well presented and we couldn't wait for our 3 night stay.After getting unpacked and settled I went to have a shower and the water was cold. I rang The Bell and a gentleman came over within 15 minutes. I got the impression he thought I was being picking. He rang the shower for a little while and tried to tell me it was warming up, it was barely tepid. I told him its too cold to shower in so he offered us a \"superior\" room in The Bell for the night. So we had to repack and walk up the road in the rain fairly late at night. The gentleman was waiting for us and said the room was ours for the rest of the stay and made some other comment which given the situation
I did'nt appreciate his attitude. Straight away we felt our new room was a down grade from what we had left, the bathroom and shower was tiny, you had to be careful how you dried yourself as you would knock things. The room could have been cleaner. Dust on bed throw and cushions. Dust on all the lamps and sockets. Other peoples toothpaste spits on the tiles in the bathroom.We should have said something but we felt we couldn't. I feel that we have spent a lot of money (£562) on 3 nights for something that wasn't worth that amount. Having said that breakfast was good with a great selection and the others ladies that work there that I saw was really good, very friendly and helpful and worked very hard

Great property and within easy distance of Cotswold main villages and sites.
Jennifer
Plenty of free parking out the front and the design of the room was beautiful, if a little tatty. Absolutely no sound proofing between rooms though so barely slept due to noise levels in the evening and very loud vacuuming noise early in the morning. I'm a heavy sleeper but this was too much even for me.
James
Well preserved historical building. Room and therefore the bed were very small.
Jennifer
Staff was lovely and the place was decorated nicely. HOWEVER, THIS PLACE WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. 1) The bed was so hard that I felt like I was sleeping on the floor. The pillows were hard too. I think I slept better camping in my tent. 2) There was no shelves to put your stuff, especially in the bathroom. I ended up having to lay my toiletry bag on the floor. 3) Pet peeve, but I don't understand how the room designer expected we use hair dryer and flat iron they thoughtfully provided. The only mirror is in the bathroom and the outlets in the bathroom does not support the hair dryer/iron sockets!! 4) The room was quite tight. Although all the decorative pillows and paid snacks look nice in pictures, they take up the useful space that would have given me more space for MY THINGS.
Overall, this place looks pretty in pictures, but was not a comfortable stay for us. I would not recommend this place to my friends at the current conditions.

We loved our stay here. It was the quintessential English country inn. Our room was well appointed with ensuite and great ammenities. The food at the pub downstairs was also fantastic. Everything in Stow was in easy walking distance.
Alan
Stayed in the annexe of the hotel which is very small and the room was reached by a narrow twisting staircase. So steep that we had to leave our cases in the car and take out the cloths we required. The car parking space was off the road but the path to the annexe is rough and twisty
Nick
I imagine when the room was first created it would have looked brilliant.
Over time, it is starting to look a little tired and could do with a freshen up.
Bed is really comfortable. Coffe machine didnt work and also Sky tv was offered in the pamphlet but could not access it.

Lovely place and lovely staff
It was a lovely stay but needs to be clearer that the Bell accommodation is the pub and Stuart House is up the hill c100metres away. The room was clean and very quaint. It was up a very narrow steep staircase - only a few steps it still quite steep. Staff nice and friendly and good breakfast in the pub!

Great property, although the glass of the bathroom door is a bit see through, no problem if you go with a partner but otherwise seems uncomfortable. But it is greatly recommended

BOOKED FOR THE BELL AT STOW, but room was in Stuart House which was uphill from the BELL making you feel you had no part in the place you had booked, also stairs were very steep with no warning of this and not made clear how far from BELL your room was.

Not what we expected.
Overall our trip to the Cotswolds was great, Stow On The Wold is a great place to base yourself.
Booking through Hotels.com, it wasn't obvious that our specific room was actually based down the road at The Stuart House. That wasn't really a problem but we weren't given a point of contact at Stuart house, the welcome brochure informed us to dial 0 to speak to reception if we had any issues, but there wasn't a phone in the room. Not helpful when the heating didn't come on in the morning on our last day.
Reviews spoke of \"immaculate\" rooms but this was not the case in our room 'Horse', you could barely see out the windows for algae on the outside of them. The blinds where covered in grime, dust and where mostly broken. Considering there are \"no pets allowed\" the carpet, rug and throw on the bed had a worrying amount of short white hair that definitely didn't come from a human...
The decor of the room was lovely and the bathroom was great, I felt it could have done with another surface since you had to move the kettle and coffee machine to the dresser to plug them in. The bluetooth speaker, TV, hair dryer and iron were all modern and worked well.
I'm not normally so critical of a room but considering the glowing reviews that led to our decision to stay here I felt they did not represent our experience.

The food was extremely good too. Would definitely go back.

Well decorated room comfy bed
Great comfy bed . The room was immaculate and recently renovated top to bottom like you would for yourself in your own beautiful house not just a hotel room . Only down side was not enough hot water to shower and using hotel.com discount night and still getting charged .
