Pauline

Lovely house, well equipped and in a great location. Plenty of parking

Jeannette

Excellent wellequipped house and perfect location just on the edge of the town. All facilities on the doorstep so car not needed for shopsrestaurantspubs. Nice outdoor seating for al fresco diningdrinking. All rooms very spacious and clean.

We were a group of four females away for a few days. Having four bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect. It is a spacious and comfortable property with outside seating which was a bonus. A parasol would have been helpful in the intense heat as would fans in bedrooms to make sleeping more comfortable. Great location for walking into Stow and plenty of parkin

Alfred

A comfortable and well located property in the heart of the Cotswolds. The bedrooms are comfortable and warm and the kitchen is well equipped. You can walk into the local town and a supermarket is only a few minutes away. There is a gas BBQ in the garden although we didn't use it. A great location to visit nearby NT properties, gardens and the excellent Batsford arboretum

A lovely property located very close to the town and opposite The Bell. This was second time we have stayed and we would definitely return again.

We found the cottage very comfortable and homely. One of our group commented 'They've thought of everything.' To which we all agreed. Delightful stay. Cottage is in a good location for exploring Stowe and the surrounding villages and towns of the beautiful Cotswolds. Thank you.

I found the settee too wide for my legs and found it difficult to sit up. Also the shower in the big bedroom downstairs was very tight. Otherwise I loved the place and so did the rest of my family.

A clean and spacious property in a great location, perfect for our family gathering.

Booked Bell Garden for my 80th birthday celebration and it comfortably housed eight of us and lived up to its description. Perfectly located with the Bell across the road for a celebration dinner, but also well stocked kitchen to cook for us all.

Nicola

What a fantastic property everything provided for a long weekend. The log fire was perfect addition. All rooms had their own ensuites This is close to all the local shops and restaurants and in spitting distance of The Bell public house. Would highly recommend this property.

Extremely beautiful house inside and out. All the rooms were just like photos and were very clean and tidy. We had a very enjoyable four nights stay for an 80th birthday celebration so all the family could be together. Would highly recommend staying here. it is in walking distance to town centre and opposite a great pub the Bell Inn. Hope to return soon.

Loraine

Just returned from a pre Christmas family gathering where we stayed at Bell Garden. The house was warm and clean. Lots of space for us all helped by all the rooms having its own bathroom. Beds very comfy. The owner had decorated it for Christmas which was lovely. Im struggling to say anything because it was all so perfect. Your just on the edge of Stow but its very quiet five minutes walk to the town which is a typical Cotswold town, lots of little artisan shops. Loads of places to eat out. Ideally situated to see the Cotswolds and Cheltenham. I would highly recommend this property Visited December 2025.

Valerie

Lovely house. Very good location. So easy to walk up into Stowe to browse the interesting shops.

Allison

The Bell Garden is a really great place to stay and explore the Cotswolds, The house is a lovely property for large groups of people with a great pub 3 minutes walk away! !! I would be very happy to use the Bell Garden again.

Christine

Bell Garden is a lovely spacious property, nicely furnished with good off road parking. It is an ideal location for a short walk into the village and also for visiting further afield surrounding areas by car.

Angela

Lovely cottage my third visit. Very well equipped and spacious. We had a maintenance issue with a shower and it was dealt with very quickly.

A few areas need a little refresh, nothing major and overall loved the place. Would return.

The house was lovely, very spacious and comfortable and very suitable for my family. There was an issue with the hot water, but this was fixed. Could do with a few more mugs, but otherwise well stocked. The tin opener didnt work. There were no dishwasher tablets which was a bit disappointing and only the bare minimum of toilet rolls. Lots of nice toiletries thanks.

We had a fantastic stay with everything we needed! Thanks so much!

Adrian

The property was absolutely beautiful, really decent sized rooms, great kitchen and the BBQ worked a treat! The house was spotless on arrival and the dreaded spiders in other holiday lets that haunt me every year were nowhere to be seen because this was a really well cleaned and maintained property will be coming back for sure, thank you! Stow town centre just up the road and everywhere so dog friendly, it was just great and the walks, drives and places to visit! Thank you for keeping this property in such good order.

Great cottage and very welllocated in the village. I would only add that it is quite exposed, which is of course not a huge problem.

Alison

Lovely location, easy walk into town for shops, restaurants and pubs, cottage is very nice with two large bedrooms downstairs, one with access to back door, so was easy to let dog out in morning, bedrooms upstairs very good and bathrooms nice size, made a very nice holiday for family weather not the best but had a log fire in the evening.

Bernardine

Wonderful house in a superb location. The property was beautifully decorated and was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a very cold weekend but house was suitably heated. Cant recommend this property highly enough. Great base for visiting the Cotswold.

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely comfortable cottage which was very well equipped. It was very convenient for the shops and pubs in Stow. The friendly owner was very responsive to our queries and we plan to return for another week.

Steven

Excellent holiday home. Somebody has put a lot of thought and effort into providing everything anyone would need to enjoy a stay at this house. It was well maintained, well presented and clean. The house is in a perfect position to enjoy Stow and the surrounding countryside. Parking is excellent at the property. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Lovely property, well situated.

Cottage and location is amazing. Had all the facilities and space and comfort for a lovely stay. We all loved it. Only feedback is that the cottage could get very cold and the thermostat was set very low so although the handover info asked not to touch the thermostat we had to turn it up to warm up the cottage as we had two older guests who felt the cold. Otherwise everything was perfect, so peaceful and welcoming.

Alison

This is the second time we have stayed at this property it is in an excellent position, close to the village, lots of wonderful cafes and super places to eat. The accommodation is superb, its very clean and the kitchen has all the equipment anyone could wish for . if the weather is suitable there is lots of lovely seating outside the front and back of the house. The living room has lovely comfortable sofas. The only recommendation would be to buy new pillows as most of them are quite flat and worn and the bed in the annex part of the house needs replacing, I think it must have had some wear and is now not comfortable. Apart from that it is an excellent accommodation in a beautiful part of the world.

Michael

Amazing house in a great location. Stunning interior and plenty of parking.

Trevor

Wonderful in everything. It would be good if all the paths and driveways were brushed and power washed. Because of the wet weather they were pretty slippery at times. A bit dangerous for children who only run and dont walk!!!!!

Finnbogi A.

An Icelandic family of eight enjoyed a wonderful stay in Bell Garden for 7 nights. The house is beautiful and the garden is well kept. Rooms have plenty of space and the living room has a large dining table and is stocked with board games and magazines. We cooked lovely dinners in the kitchen which is modern, with a large refrigerator, a freezer and a gas stove. The outside grill was so well cleaned it was as if new. The Bell pub is just across the driveway and the main street is lined with shops and restaurants. We made so many great memories in the Bell Garden and highly recommend staying there!

The cottage was great the location couldnt have been any better it was ... The cottage was great the location couldnt have been any better it was central to everywhere easy to get to and loads of parking as we had four cars and very private we had good weather but not good enough to sit outside which was a shame as there were loads of chairs and a bbq to use

Great location and beautiful property. Helpful hosts.

Elizabeth

Lovely cottage let down by a few things. Log stove wouldnt draw, very disappointing & others seem to have had same problem. Kitchen pans very battered. No instruction booklets or leaving info. Downstairs ensuite, top light has no switch? How to turn on? In 2 showers, mixer tap wouldnt operate handheld shower head. A small milk jug would be useful.

Sharon

Well appointed, very clean and well equipped. Perfect for 6 adults and a dog.

We had a lovely time at Bell Cottage, the photos don't do the property justice. It's far nicer when you're there. The location was perfect for us, the facilities at the property were excellent. There were 8 of us staying at Bell Cottage so it was quite busy in the morning with all of us getting ready. I had a shower at 9am and there was no hot water which wasn't great. Check in at 4pm doesn't leave a lot of the day to enjoy the property but we made ourselves busy in the town, however we all felt that a 10am check out is a bit mean, it means you can't end your break in a relaxed way. 8 of us seated at a table for breakfast and having to get showered and packed and out for 10am is a rush . We can't fault the property but feel that the check out should be midday to allow a stress free end to an enjoyable break. Kind regards Mr L Ashby
