The Bell at Stow

Lovely stay, great location, clean and well stocked room. Hair dryer and straighteners lovely touch! The room itself was very small, for two nights it was okay, but getting ready in the mornings was a faff due to limited space. Any longer I can imagine it getting a little tedious. We stayed at Stuart House which was just a short walk/drive away from the main hotel, it gave very Airbnb vibes which we both liked. The bell itself is a lovely little pub, friendly and accommodating staff. We ate here one night too and the food was very good! Overall I’d stay again, just opt for a bigger room next time.

We had a lovely meal at The Bell. Our waiter was very friendly and the food was great. The restaurant has a very cosy feel to it.

We booked in for a night and probably expected more than we got. We turned up at the bell, got our luggage out the car and, in excessive heat, dragged our stuff into the pub. Greeted by a nice lady who told us we were actually in their Stuart House rooms up the road in the town, gave us directions and we duly dragged everything back out, packed it back in the car and went to find Stuart House. We navigated the very small car park and unpacked the car to then get our luggage down a very narrow path and squeeze past a tree, debating if we were going the right way. A person with disabilities would not get along it. The room (Hedgehog) was aesthetically very pleasing and fairly clean but a tight squeeze, expected in an old Cotswold building. The bathroom was spacious and beautiful. There was a well stocked mini bar and hamper, coffee machine and a bottle of water but the lid had been left off of that so we bought our own. Also promised was a complimentary treat, that was not there. The bed was not comfortable so not much sleep was had and the window is right on a main road, so people are walking past, so close its like they're in the room with you. The blinds were broken so we had to hang toilet roll in the gap for privacy. This room was expensive at £118 and our breakfast was not included so it is not somewhere we would stay again. However, we did go to the Bell pub for a drink in the evening, people that were eating, the food looked fabulous so it may have been better had our room been there as we initially thought it would be.

Really lovely pub in Stow in the Wold serving a good, varied menu. The food was delicious, staff very friendly and good service. Having recently started to follow a gluten free diet I was pleased to find several options available. Can highly recommend.

This is our "go to" place for a meal when we visit Stow on the Wold. The atmosphere as soon as you walk in is warm and inviting. The food is delicious and the staff and service are excellent.

Truly relaxing experience. I’ll definitely be back!!!!!highly recommend!!!!!!(great food at the pub too) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
