Cosy well situated apartment
We had a lovely few days at Hamilton's apartment. It is in the heart of Stow and is beautifully decorated and cosy. We had everything we needed and a lovely hamper of goodies on our arrival. I would highly recommend to friends and family and will definitely stay again.

Lovely stay in the heart of Stow
We had a wonderful stay in Flat 2, located right in the centre of town with all of pretty Stow on your doorstep. The flat was well equipped for our stay with our 4 year old and 4 month old baby. As to be expected with old Cotswold buildings, the stairs up to the flat and internally were pretty steep but our 4 year old managed to navigate them ok. The flat is beautifully furnished and decorated and well equipped if you wanted to self cater. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a bolthole in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Amazing stay with small minor improvements needed
Required improvement : downstairs bedroom very drafty from the chimney , not enough saucepans in the kitchen , unit in kitchen that could house plates , bowls etc and this would give more kitchen space for saucepans and oven dishes for food to go in after cooked . The dishwasher doesn’t house the big plates properly . Couldn’t shut door in the upstairs bedroom in loft space . Mirror in upstairs bathroom not clear like a small dome mirror door mat to place shoes and boots on

Beautiful flat full of character
Beautiful flat full of character in the heart of Stow on the Wold with everything on your doorstep. The flat is immaculate and beautifully furnished giving a really cosy Cotswold cottage feel. Split across two levels is does have a cottage/house feeling. I had a great stay of 3 nights and would definitely like to return at some point. I'm currently thinking up ways I can re-create the feel in my London flat! There is no parking spot with the flat but I was advised which streets had free parking prior to arriving and one of them is accessible just across the road, down a small alley a few minutes walk away so this was not a problem. The entrance steps and internal stairs are fairly steep which is all part of the Cotswolds character and appeal but may be challenging if you have certain mobility issues.
