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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
