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.

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
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A week in beautiful Stow

The perfect location for our week in the Cotswolds. The Gisleburtus House apartment is nestled just off the high street with some wonderful pubs cafes & restaurants all within a few minutes of the property. The apartment is incredibly stylish and well decorated throughout. We were very impressed and would definitely book again.
