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.

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.

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.

We stayed here for one night. The room in the Bell was really nice and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We received very warm welcome on arrival and the staff were lovely throughout the stay. The food was very good too. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

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.

Midwinter visit

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
