Stunning decor, every little detail had been thought about. The bed was the comfiest bed I’ve probably ever stayed in and at 36 weeks pregnant it was the best sleep I’d had for weeks! The apartment felt very homely and the fresh bread & jams were a lovely extra touch. Nothing, we had a great stay & would love to return!

This is a wonderful, spacious apartment with a large bedroom, bathroom & den area in the center of Stow-on-the-Wold. The location is perfect for exploring S-O-T-W as well as all of The Cotswolds. There are plenty of restaurants & shops just around the corner, as S-O-T-W is very walkable. It has a nice outdoor roof-top seating area for enjoying a glass of wine and the sunset or stars at night. Thank you to the hosts for a sweet welcome gift, luxurious towels, the fan in the bedroom and being very proactive on checking on us! It was a perfect place to stay for a week in The Cotswolds, and we would definitely stay here again. Honestly, there wasn’t anything that we didn’t like about this apartment! The mattress was not as comfortable as we like, but that’s a very individual preference. That said, we slept well every night so it wasn’t too uncomfortable! And a microwave would have been nice for heating leftovers.

The apartment was SO nice! It was incredibly spacious, comfortable, clean, and stylish. Fi and Alastair were great communicators, welcoming and on the ball. The mini fridge had drinks such as cans of rose, sparkling water, and more for us - very kind. And the hosts left and absolutely amazing loaf of bread from a nearby bakery, with butter and jam for us, that we devoured....it was that good. The bathroom is SO huge and just beautiful, with high end shampoo / conditioner and lotion for use. The bed was so comfortable, large and had superior bedding. There is also an outside terrace space with views - we had a nice glass on wine out there and enjoyed the cooler weather, after very hot days. Also, Stow is just a great little town - we had excellent meals at the Porch House and The Bell (which both have wonderful gardens). We would not hesitate to stay again! Nothing. But I would just let people know it is a kitchenette, not a full kitchen - had great tea and coffee for us, a toaster, sink and fridge but no cooking facilities - much better than a hotel for sure, but just to manage expectations. But this was absolutely fine for us, right outside the door are so many wonderful places to eat

We loved our stay at Tuppence. The beautiful furnishings, attention to detail and welcoming touches ~ including the fresh flowers, delicious bread and cool drinks in the fridge ~ all helped ensure we had a restful, delightful stay. Thank you Alastair for going above and beyond ~ much appreciated. Thank you Team Vaults

I can’t say enough not only about the accommodations but also about the people behind it. The location in Stow-on-the-Wold can’t be beat as it’s in the heart of everything. The finishes and touches in the unit itself are perfectly done. If I have to list a downside it’s simply that now I know I’m in for some pricey upgrades at home as my wife can’t unsee the amazing design, decor, and interior work done. We stayed 3 nights during our 2 week trip in Europe, and this stay was easily the highlight as far as accommodations. The host also thought of great touches to make us feel welcome such as drinks in the fridge and a welcome basket. To further the experience, the host is friendly, accommodating, and very quick to respond to any communication. From start to finish, booking, arriving, checking out, etc the entire process was smooth and frictionless.. For context, we own and host several short term rentals in the USA and this host taught us a thing or two. Book the Vaults if you’re visiting the area… you won’t regret it.

Amazing location, private parking and the most stunning apartment!! You are in a prime spot within the Cotswolds, with amazing pub restaurants, bakeries & coffee shops all within a few minutes. (If you’re staying, I definitely recommend The Stag At Stow pub for dinner which is a 2 minute walk away). Very close to other prime locations also - e.g 9m to Bourton on the water / 12m from Daylesford Farm etc. The property was amazing, very clean, cosy and Fi was always checking in to see if we were ok. Defo recommend!! N/A
