Wonderful location and very well equipped. Not the best sound insulation from adjacent properties but not an issue. Always lovely to return to at the end of the day. Would happily stay there again.

Lovely stay in a beautiful clean premises

This house is absolutely beautiful. All very clean, modern and well kept. Perfect location in Stow. We had poor communication from the property manager. We contacted him but he didn't help us with our concerns. We will definitely stay there again though as it was perfect for our needs.

A beautiful house in the centre of Stow

We had a lovely stay at Gisleburtus House. The house is ideally situated in the centre of Stow in the Wold, with all the amenities the village holds. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable and large. The beds were extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed for a four night stay.

Fantastic location but wouldn't stay here again

Pros: Excellent location for exploring Stow in foot. Also well placed to explore other areas of the Costwold's Very spacious property Nice size car park with parking permit Friendly neighbours who helped when the water went off and also put our bin out for us. Very soft towels, bedding and dressing gown provided. Comfy pillows! Cons: Cleanliness could be improved - there were some areas of dust and lack of attention to detail. When we removed the bag to put the bin out, there was dirt and rubbish in the bottom of the bin. The property didn't quite live up to expectations based on images - images portray a more luxurious and airy vibe. Limited cleaning products/ items provided. For example there was no cloth or sponge so we weren't able to wipe down surfaces. There was just a bristle brush to wash up with, which was ineffective at cleaning dishes well. Property was listed as having children's crockery and plates but we could not find this. The property has an eerie feel, much darker than depicted but appreciate our stay was in November.

A week in beautiful Stow

The perfect location for our week in the Cotswolds. The Gisleburtus House apartment is nestled just off the high street with some wonderful pubs cafes & restaurants all within a few minutes of the property. The apartment is incredibly stylish and well decorated throughout. We were very impressed and would definitely book again.

Great stay

We had a fabulous few days at Huntington Court in the heart of Stow on the Wold. The property is exactly as described and very well appointed. It had everything we need and was very comfortable. The hosts were helpful and responsive.

Wonderful stay

I recently stayed here with my husband and two teenage children and we loved it! It’s a great size, beautifully decorated, and right in the middle of town but tucked back. We could walk to any number of bakeries, restaurants, shops, a farmers market within minutes. I highly recommend this house to couples/ small families!

A great hideaway

The perfect hideaway in Stow - easy to walk to everything but quiet location and great to have a parking spot right out front! We loved our stay and that the kitchen was stocked with a few essentials, which fed us breakfast multiple mornings!

Fabulous weekend retreat

Gisleburtus House was a pleasure to stay in over mine & our son’s birthday weekend! It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and lived up to our expectations from the photos on the website. The location is perfect for walking around Stow and a short drive out to other beautiful locations in the Cotswolds. We would totally recommend a stay here.

Loved this apartment, can’t recommend it highly enough

We loved everything about this apartment. It is clean and comfortable, stylishly decorated and well located for exploring the Cotswolds. The booking process is easy, the instructions are clear and make checking in and out a breeze, and the eggs, bread milk, juice and butter that were left for us was a very thoughtful touch. And the bath towels are big and soft :) Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Lovely home in the Cotswolds!

We had an excellent stay at Gisleburtus house! Was a great, central location to explore the Cotswolds- great to be in the middle of Stow and be able to walk to shopping, meals, etc - and easy access to some great hikes and other villages as well! The flat was well appointed, spacious, modern, and clean while also having Cotswolds charm. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Fabulous stay

We had a fabulous week at Giselburtus House. Perfectly located in the centre of Stow, easy private parking was a huge bonus. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Everything we could have needed was provided and the bread, milk, butter and eggs were a welcome surprise. Would not hesitate to stay here again, it was amazing.

Great location and Comfortable

We are fortunate to travel extensively around the world and normally stay in 5 star hotels. As on this occasion we were traveling with my brother / sister in-law they suggested staying in self catering accommodation. We found this property online and booked it. Given this was our first experience in this style of accommodation we were impressed. It provided space and it was nice not to have to walk through hotel foyers and even get our car parked. We come from Australia so booking online as people will know can be hit and miss, but we were very happy we chose this property and we would certainly book it again and recommend it. Stay Cotswold was helpful and accommodating, so would suggest you book through them as we did not have any issues.

Superb holiday let

This lovely little flat exceeded our expectations. From start to finish the company could not have been more helpful. The accommodation was superb and we could not find fault with anything. Some non slip stickers in the bath might be an idea, as I found it quite slippery getting out of the shower. Lovely welcome pack to put you on till you can do a shop. I would highly recommend, great base to explore from

Anniversary weekend away for 2

Fantastic property, super stylish and very comfortable. Lovely and quiet despite being off the main road through Stow. A perfect location for mooching around Stow’s lovely shops. Don’t miss out on the excellent bargains in Stow’s charity shops - really good quality stuff! The Stag’s bar was perfect for a few hours of cribbage with G&T’s whilst the rain came down. The Hive was a fabulous place for breakfast. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend.

Lovely apartment in an ideal location

Thought apartment would be fab from website but photos honestly don't do it justice as stunning and so spacious and comfortable. Waking up to snow on first day was so Christmassy and whole week was perfect for our Christmas shopping break. The Sheep, Porch House, The Bell, Stow Lodge Hotel and The Queens all great for food or a drink and Stow is so central, making it the perfect base. Thanks to Calum for very prompt help with slight issue. All in all can't fault our stay. Many thanks.

Living the an Apartment

The apartment was stunning. As we opened the door we were amazed by the shear size of the property and beautiful decor throughout. We were sceptical about staying in an Apartment rather than the traditional chocolate box Cottage, although I can definitely say this place did not disappoint! Without doubt we will definitely return.

Family trip to Stow the Wold

Fantastic location very close to the centre of Stow on the Wold but was still quiet and peaceful. Beautifully decorated apartment keeping the traditional aspects but modern at the same time. We had everything we needed in the apartment. We loved playing cards at the games table one night. As a couple with our son and his partner having an en-suite each was invaluable. I do like a visitors book though, usually get lots of information from other guests. The milk, butter and other essentials were welcome. We would recommend and stay again, good company to deal with.
