Bell Garden Reviews

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 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

Samantha

Lovely house that accommodated 7 of us easily. Having a large oven over Christmas was superb! Great location being a few minute stroll from the centre of town. We all had a lovely time and thoroughly loved Stow we will be back!

We absolutely love Bell Garden, now being the second time we have stayed with ... We absolutely love Bell Garden, now being the second time we have stayed with friends and family Gorgeous house and beautifully decorated throughout with all the amenities you need Within a very easy walking distance to the lovely town, shops and restaurants in Stow on the Wold

We loved the property and it was perfect for our needs. The following are simply things that you might wish to consider in order to make future guests even more comfortable the Internet in back bedroom the one that has been converted from the garage is non existent. Difficult as a visitor from overseas I churned through my roaming data. Maybe consider a booster? By the way, I did not find this room cold at all, as some previous reviews have mentioned. we needed to leave a day early for family reasons and therefore received the departure instructions after we left. We looked everywhere in the house for them, as I like to leave properties exactly as the owner wishes, but there was very little information. As a result we were not able to strip the beds as requested. Perhaps consider leaving departure info in the house or providing it on arrival. I couldnt get the wood burner to draw and I live in a house where my only heating is a wood burner, so Im pretty experienced!. It smokes badly when you open the door. I wonder if the chimney could do with a clean? Either way, some instructions would be useful there are a lot of vents and, even with my experience, it was complicated.

Lovely cottage, we were a multi generation group and it worked really nicely for us and the location was great too.

Teresa

Stunning property. Excellent location to explore Cotswolds. Convenient for local shops and restaurants. Owners went beyond expectations to ensure we enjoyed our break.

Shirley

Our second stay at Bell Garden. Perfect for three generations, we had a lovely holiday. Plenty of room in the house, lots of parking and a few minutes walk to the centre of Stowonthe Wold. There were a few minor maintenance issues which we did report.

Alison

The house was amazing it was furnished to a high standard and had all the equipment that anyone could wish for. The house was so clean and welcoming, the flowers, milk and Prosecco were very much appreciated thank you! It is in ideal location to explore villages in the Cotswolds and it is only a 5 minute walk into Stow on the Wold where we had wonderful food in 'The Porch House' and 'The Sheep' We would highly recommend this house, we have been back home 3 days have already booked the house for next year! We had a slight problem with hot water but Sykes Company and the owner were so efficient and the owner came on the same morning has the problem was reported and all was resolved. There is a little problem with the shower taps, as soon as your hands are wet no one in the family could turn the taps off or on in any of the showers, they are so slippery, without getting the aid of a towel.

Claire

Really enjoyed our stay at Bell Garden, Stow on the Wold is an excellent location for seeing the main towns of the Cotsworld. .. highly recommend a trip Broadway, Bourton on the water first thing before the coaches arrive, plus a trip to Daylesford Organic is a must!!!! Plenty of places for dinner in SotW, all within walking distance of the house. I would ask the owners to get a bowl for the kitchen sink, as it would make washing up a lot easier and us less water!!!
