Church Alley House is an elegant Grade II listed duplex apartment in the heart of Stow-On-The-Wold, Gloucestershire.
Set within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and ideal for two couples, friends, or a family with older children, this abode boasts a reverse-level layout, a glorious open-plan design and discounts to various local amenities.
A short flight of steps leads up to the private entrance, raising you gently above street level and into a handsome period building that feels considered and quietly positioned.
From the moment you arrive, the emphasis is on quality, with the character of the architecture setting the tone for what lies beyond the door.
Inside, the apartment opens into a calm and welcoming space defined by warm tones, plush furnishings and carefully chosen artwork.
The finish feels refined rather than overworked, with each element contributing to a sense of understated luxury.
The lower level is devoted to rest, with two beautifully presented bedrooms designed as soothing retreats after days spent exploring.
The king‑size bedroom offers generous proportions and a Smart TV, alongside a sleek en‑suite shower room that adds ease to shared stays.
The double bedroom is equally well finished, again with its own Smart TV for slow mornings or relaxed evenings, while the contemporary main bathroom nearby features a bath with shower over, ideal for unwinding or refreshing before heading out.
Steps lead up to the open‑plan living, dining and kitchen space, a light‑filled room that has been thoughtfully interior designed using warm tones, soft textures and carefully chosen finishes.
The sitting area is arranged for relaxed evenings, with comfortable seating and a TV ready for film nights or easy conversation over a glass of something chilled.
Set alongside, the kitchen is well-equipped for self‑catering at your own pace, enhanced on arrival by a curated welcome pack featuring local and Italian produce such as pasta, eggs and bread, making it easy to settle straight in.
At the heart of the room, the stylish, rustic dining table creates a natural gathering point, where unhurried breakfasts turn into long dinners spent sharing good food and stories from the day.
Outside, an enclosed dining area offers a quiet place to enjoy coffee in the morning air, linger over lunch or wind down with supper as the day draws to a close.
The owner also provides complimentary bicycles, giving guests the opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside at a gentler pace and admire the beauty of the Cotswolds without needing to get in the car.
Shops, cafés and restaurants are only moments away on foot, reinforcing the ease of this central yet carefully positioned setting.
What truly elevates a stay at Church Alley House is the added value offered by the owner through a carefully curated guest experience.
The apartment is part of the New England Group, an independent Cotswolds hospitality collection made up of cafés, modern farm shops and a wine bar across some of the region’s most desirable locations.
Guests benefit from exclusive ten per cent discounts, allowing you to enjoy exceptional food and drink just moments from your door while retaining the freedom of a self‑catering stay.
In Stow‑on‑the‑Wold itself, New England Coffee House offers beautifully crafted organic coffee, brunch favourites and signature cakes in a light‑filled, Scandinavian‑influenced setting, ideal for slow mornings or unhurried afternoons.
The Cotswold Farm brings a contemporary feel to the traditional farm shop, where warm textures, clean lines and carefully stocked shelves invite you to browse artisan produce, Italian specialities, fresh bread and seasonal ingredients chosen with care.
Beyond town, The Old Mill in Lower Slaughter is a perfect stop for artisan coffee and a gentle walk through one of the Cotswolds’ most postcard‑pretty villages.
Evenings can be shaped around Massimo Wine Bar back in Stow, a stylish, wine‑led venue serving premium wines, freshly made pasta and relaxed Italian‑style small plates.
With Stow‑on‑the‑Wold as your base, the wider Cotswolds open up effortlessly.
Spend days wandering honey‑stone villages, following winding lanes through open countryside or heading to Bourton‑on‑the‑Water for riverside strolls and indulgent treats.
Stratford‑upon‑Avon is also within easy reach, offering historic streets, scenic walks and evenings shaped by theatre and atmosphere.
Stay, explore and indulge at Church Alley House.
