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.

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,

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.
