Excellent accommodation right in the heart of Stow
Myself & my wife stayed at Church View for 2 nights with our daughter & fiancé and our dog. The apartment is wonderful. Clean and more than spacious enough for the four of us. The terrace is a lovely bonus and we were fortunate with the weather to enjoy an alfresco lunch during our stay.
The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was filled with light from the skylight. Hard to find any faults but despite an array of kitchen utensils there is no can opener which caused a minor issue but other than that we were delighted with our stay.

The Church Bells !
My husband and I did enjoy our trip to the Cotswolds.
However the comfort in Church view very disappointing.
The mattress on the beds very poor .
Would suggest take your own pillows.
The church bells ring all through the night ,
we were able to use the bedroom at the back if need the front room take ear plugs.
A good nights sleep is so important to me so for us we would not return.

Great apartment in the centre of Stow on the wold
Great Location right in the centre of Stow on the Wold just perfect for touring The Cotswolds.Apartment was cleaning and had everything needed for our week stay also in walking distant to lots of local Pubs which all served meals. On street parking which was nearby although 2 hour limited between 9am-6pm this never cause us a problem. Some people have commented on the Church Bells ring on the hour through the night, this never caused us any issues
Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely week in Stow
Enjoyed a lovely week in Stow on the Wold. The apartment was perfectly located near the church. Stow is a busy little town but the apartment was quiet and private.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2023
Thank you Trevor for your positive review of Church View Apartment. It is lovely to read that the apartment was very quiet and private inside although it is in the centre of Stow. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.
It was the perfect home base for exploring the Cotswolds. The place was across the square from a bunch of great restaurants and shops and a grocery store. It’s was super cute and a perfect place to rest after a day of touring around.

Cotswolds Retreat
What a wonderful, peaceful, and safe stay my husband, daughter, and I had. The apartment was perfect with special touches throughout: biscuits on counter, milk in fridge, toiletries wrapped up in bathroom. There was much to do in town and the restaurants were wonderful and accommodating. I only wished we could have stayed longer!!

Lovely apartment
Lovely apartment in a great location in the centre of stow. We were 4 adults and it was slightly on the small side for 4 adults (could do with an extra chair in the lounge area) but had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, lovely garden terrace.

Stay at Church View
We had a wonderful short break and the apartments location was absolutely perfect. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed to make the most of our time. Really special staying so central and to be able to see the church in the evenings and pop out for food. We will definately stay again! X

Girls weekend
The apartment was lovely, well appointed, great location.
More mirrors are needed in the bedrooms
The sofa is extremely low and uncomfortable
The location of the key safe hanging behind very full and smelly bins was both difficult to access and unpleasant. It would have been easy to drop the keys behind the bins.

We had a lovely stay in this apartment. It was well situated, very clean and cosy. Unfortunately the bed was small and not very comfortable so by the 3rd night my back was very sore. A better mattress would really make a big difference.

Weekend Away

The cleaning could definitely have been better, there was a bag of rubbish left by the previous tenants on the terrace and some stains on the towels provided. Otherwise would happily stay again

First stay in Cotswolds
Great apartment in good location, liked the self check in and check out and worked well. Never no problem for parking. Lovely terrace to sip your g & t in the evening.
Only one small thing, no where to store your ice cubes for my g & t.

Cosy apartment, conveniently located
A cosy apartment - best for only a couple perhaps. No problems parking in the square. Excellent kitchen, good storage space and size of sitting room. Liked the roof terrace .
Lighting could be better and maybe the bathroom could do with a bit of updating..

disappointed
At first glance, the apartment looked clean, but upon closer inspection, this was anything but true. The kitchen cabinets were dirty, and both bathroom windows were filthy. Clouds of dust lay under the bed. We also found both mattresses very uncomfortable.

His contact details were included in your welcome email, and had he been made aware during your stay, he would have been more than happy to help resolve the issues for you. We do appreciate that mattress comfort can vary from person to person, and we are sorry to hear that you found them uncomfortable, as this has not been mentioned by previous guests.
