A comfortable base for exploring the Cotswolds
A very comfortable stay for 4 adults in a characterful property.
The flat is clean, warm and well appointed with many thoughtful touches.
Although central it is quiet and has welcome off street parking.
A very comprehensive welcome pack is provided giving the impression that the owners really want you to enjoy your stay.
My only suggestion would be to reconsider the 5pm access restriction.
Highly recommended.

Cotswold Luxury
We wanted accommodation with parking located centrally in Stow On The Wold,
However the minute we opened the door into Gilsebertus House we knew we had found found somethingVery special indeed. The house was very spacious throughout and alot of thought and effort
Had went into the design of the Interior, Stunning kitchen and dinning area followed
By another reception with beautiful old antique panelling along one wall, Bright, and airy with
with modern furnishings, Two beautiful bedrooms both En Suite with a spare bath
room for guests, Everything spotless with extra towels.
Accommodation is in a lovey snug quiet area, we didn't hear any noise or neighbours etc
Honestly Can't recommend this place enough, I know we will be returning at every opportunity
Stow and Gilsebertus House is a wonderful base whilst Touring the Cotswolds

Good place to stay in the centre of Stow.
This is a good place in the centre of Stow, in a nice quiet location. It is tastefully decorated with some interesting features and wooden panelling. It lacks any out door space ( except for small balcony at top of steps) which is probably the main disadvantage.
The condition of the property could be improved by e.g. replacing lightbulbs that aren’t working and limiting the temperature of hot water which was extremely hot in the kitchen. However it was very clean and well presented.

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.

Perfect spot to explore Cotswolds
We had a wonderful stay as 4 adults in Gisleburtus House. It has everything you need, is luxurious and very comfortable. The perfect spot to explore the very pretty town of Stow-on-the-Wold and further afield in the Cotswolds. Great for walks too. Great information and friendly owners. Did not need to contact them as all was perfect. The bread, milk and butter supplied and dishwash tablets/washing up liquid was a great touch. The welcome pack and pre-departure online information was very comprehensive and helpful. Loved this property and would stay again.

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

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!

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.
Thank you Jane for your review. We hope you will return soon.

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.

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.

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.
