The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, typically on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October, however, we would recommend checking the exact date ahead of placing your booking. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates

A great place to stay

We had a long weekend stay in this lovely well appointed characterful spacious property and found it perfectly located for the short walk into the centre of Stow with its beautiful boutique shops. The flat was clean, quiet and warm with convenient parking. It would have been a little more convenient if we could have had access earlier than 5.0 pm. Overall a great place to stay.

Excellent in all respects

The apartment/property is massive, lots of space, well appointed and very comfortable. It's so comfortable there's no real need to go out to eat and drink, although out of choice that's what we decided to do The apartment is on the first floor which you access from an outside flight of metal stairs. The stairs are straight, not twisting and we had no problem in carrying some fairly heavy suitcases. In fact access is a lot easier than most Hotels/B&B's etc Location is superb with private off street parking and a short walk to local bars and restaurants. It's quiet even though it's close to town We were looking to return, however the property was already booked for the dates we wanted, otherwise we would definitely go back

Stunning place to stay

When I walked through the door to this apartment it was a wow! Absolutely stunning and spacious, tastefully decorated and very classy and very comfortable. Quiet yet in the centre of Stow. I absolutely loved it and would definitely visit again.

A home from home

This is a stunning property, the photos showing the property are spot on, sometimes photos make a property out to be better than what it actually is, not in this case though. The size of the apartment is huge. Location in 2 mins walk from town square which has loads of little bars, shops, and restaurants. Stow on the Wold is an excellent base for a visit to the Cotswolds. I have to give a mention to Callum, the property manager, I had contacted him on two occasions, one looking to see if we could get a little earlier check in, which he was able to accommodate and another issue which was entirely my own doing, he was excellent on each occasion. He left us a welcome pack upon arrival which included some freshly baked bread, butter, and milk. That was nice to get. The property comes with its own off street parking which was brilliant as parking in Stow is hard to come by as it’s a very busy town. I honestly cannot rate this property high enough, everything that we needed was supplied in the property, we were able to cook breakfast each morning, it was definitely a home from home.

Gisleburtus House December 2025

A beautiful home that provided excellent accommodation facilities in the heart of Stow on the Wold. This property was absolutely stunning and felt like home the minute we walked through the door. The accommodation also provided a reserved car parking space. We had a fantastic few days in the Cotswolds and the property was one of the main reasons for that. We would love to return and will definitely be selecting Gisleburtus House as our place to stay!

4/10 Poor

Lack of cleanliness

We found the unit lovely but unclean. The kitchen was dirty with used cooking sheet in the oven. There was no toilet paper in 2 of the bathrooms and less than half a roll in the one. We tried to contact the person who manages the unit. They never answered my emails or calls. Also, contacted StayCotswold and they were no help either. They only rent the units but take no responsibility for the unit or its condition. Very misleading.

Lovely stay in a beautiful clean premises

This house is absolutely beautiful. All very clean, modern and well kept. Perfect location in Stow. We had poor communication from the property manager. We contacted him but he didn't help us with our concerns. We will definitely stay there again though as it was perfect for our needs.

Perfect base for a Girls Weekend in the Cotswolds

After lots of research we chose Gislebertus House for a girls weekend and we're so glad we did. The property is beautiful and so tastefully designed, lots of lovely details. There was plenty of space and a generous L-shaped sofa where we could all curl up. All the rooms were spacious and there were two en-suites plus a separate WC. Having our own parking space in the middle of Stow was really useful and there was plenty of space to turn round. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were super comfy. The property was very clean, thank you to whoever prepared it for us. Stow is an excellent location to explore the Cotswolds, we would particularly recommend Rousham House and Gardens and we really enjoyed eating out at The Old Butchers, just a short walk from the house - great food and atmosphere. Communication throughout with StayCotswolds was excellent. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Great location, spacious and comfortable place

With the exception of a small hiccup checking in (cleaning hadn't been completed from prior guest - this was quickly remedied), we had a wonderful stay at Gisleburtus House. The bedrooms and living space were quite spacious, and the place had all the amenities we wanted/needed. It was well located near all shops and restaurants.

Short break at Gisleburtus House

Second year in a row we have stayed here. Tastefully decorated with all you need. Great location close to shops, restaurants etc whilst remaining quiet. Own parking space which is useful as Stow gets busy. No garden of course but we spend lots of time out and about. We shall hopefully return next year.

A beautiful house in the centre of Stow

We had a lovely stay at Gisleburtus House. The house is ideally situated in the centre of Stow in the Wold, with all the amenities the village holds. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable and large. The beds were extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed for a four night stay.

Fantastic location but wouldn't stay here again

Pros: Excellent location for exploring Stow in foot. Also well placed to explore other areas of the Costwold's Very spacious property Nice size car park with parking permit Friendly neighbours who helped when the water went off and also put our bin out for us. Very soft towels, bedding and dressing gown provided. Comfy pillows! Cons: Cleanliness could be improved - there were some areas of dust and lack of attention to detail. When we removed the bag to put the bin out, there was dirt and rubbish in the bottom of the bin. The property didn't quite live up to expectations based on images - images portray a more luxurious and airy vibe. Limited cleaning products/ items provided. For example there was no cloth or sponge so we weren't able to wipe down surfaces. There was just a bristle brush to wash up with, which was ineffective at cleaning dishes well. Property was listed as having children's crockery and plates but we could not find this. The property has an eerie feel, much darker than depicted but appreciate our stay was in November.

The perfect location for our week in the Cotswolds.

Wonderful stay

I recently stayed here with my husband and two teenage children and we loved it! It’s a great size, beautifully decorated, and right in the middle of town but tucked back. We could walk to any number of bakeries, restaurants, shops, a farmers market within minutes. I highly recommend this house to couples/ small families!
