Stowe House

SCAMMED we felt totally scammed. If your thinking of Booking this place Please read all the poor reviews in relation to this property, they are all accurate. Its NOT A HOTEL, Its a house in what looks like council estate. Its a 4 bedroom house that this man let's out with a several Booking platforms with a listing that is totally inaccurate. Like many have said, pool and gym pictures do not exist at the property, they are in a leisure centre down the road. We booked a family room that was advertised as 1 king bed 1 double bed 1 single bed private bathroom for 4 nights in a Non smoking "hotel" ,booked over a month ago. Got message day before arrival saying we needed to pay extra to make it private bathroom with 3 rooms. Told we need to book 2 more rooms, we stayed 1 night. Smoke in 2 rooms unbearable if you have asthma, banging constantly through night from neighbours, it was an extremely hot few days so windows had to be left open. 1 fan available, was useless, curfew in rules not told about had to be back in house by 11pm , cant shower or make noise between 11 and 6am. If we had of know all this in the online booking we would not have booked at all. We had to go to 2 family events that would have both have been after 2am arrival back. Totally ridiculous, we left after 1 night , didn't feel safe or secure and walking on eggshells as a previous guest has said in reviews. So we booked elsewhere, this listing needs to be taken down by Hotels com. Totally misleading

Really nice hotel with one major issue during our stay. With the weather being in the mid to highs 30s the air conditioning was down and not working at all. A complimentary drinks was offered by way of apology but that really didn’t help with the room being roasting with no window to open. Staff were understandably stressed at the amount of complaints they were facing from guests who wanted to cancel their reservations due to this matter. This did make check in a very long drawn out experience.

Amazingly welcoming and dedicated staff. The room was perfect and the food great.
