When I walked through the door to this apartment it was a wow! Absolutely stunning and spacious, tastefully decorated and very classy and very comfortable. Quiet yet in the centre of Stow. I absolutely loved it and would definitely visit again.

A beautiful home that provided excellent accommodation facilities in the heart of Stow on the Wold. This property was absolutely stunning and felt like home the minute we walked through the door. The accommodation also provided a reserved car parking space.
We had a fantastic few days in the Cotswolds and the property was one of the main reasons for that. We would love to return and will definitely be selecting Gisleburtus House as our place to stay!

After lots of research we chose Gislebertus House for a girls weekend and we're so glad we did. The property is beautiful and so tastefully designed, lots of lovely details. There was plenty of space and a generous L-shaped sofa where we could all curl up. All the rooms were spacious and there were two en-suites plus a separate WC. Having our own parking space in the middle of Stow was really useful and there was plenty of space to turn round. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were super comfy. The property was very clean, thank you to whoever prepared it for us. Stow is an excellent location to explore the Cotswolds, we would particularly recommend Rousham House and Gardens and we really enjoyed eating out at The Old Butchers, just a short walk from the house - great food and atmosphere. Communication throughout with StayCotswolds was excellent. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
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.
