What a beautiful home away from home that Shilling at the Vaults is. Everything was exactly as advertised and all the small important details were attended to. The bed was luxurious as well as the claw foot tub and the still warm fresh bread along with butter/oat milk in the fridge and preserves in the welcome basket really made this weekend stay. I hope to be back again some day!

We enjoyed a wonderful 2-night stay in Shilling, and enjoyed all the room had to offer. The interior was beautiful and the breakfast and stocked fridge was a lovely addition. Customer service was excellent and we'd love to stay again - would highly recommend for a relaxing retreat to the Cotswolds.

We had such a lovely stay at ‘Shilling’ in Stow-on-the-Wold while celebrating my 30th birthday with my sister - it was the perfect base for our weekend in the Cotswolds. The apartment is absolutely beautiful. The interiors are stunning - so much inspiration to take home with us. The location is also ideal - right in the heart of Stow, with everything just a short walk away. Everything about our stay felt easy, safe and memorable. Thank you so much for having us!

I highly recommend The Vaults! The bed is very comfortable, and the apartment is beautifully put together (colours, fabrics, furniture), and polished off with carefully thought out amenities. With parking onsite and the property being centrally located accessing restaurants and shops was a doddle - yet it is a quiet oasis with lovely views. I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends!

Everything. The property was absolutely beautiful. The way it is decorated gives it such a nice overall feeling. The under floors heating was absolutely heavenly especially as we stayed during November. The bed was extremely comfortable and could tell it was just so luxurious. The little touches such as the steamer and hairdryer were such nice touches and well used during our stay. It was evident that time and effort went into the property as it is so so so beautiful. It’s hard to describe in words. We have already recommended this property to all our friends and family. Thank you. Nothing.
