The staff were really friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was excellent - this was included in the Expedia price. You could pay extra for a cooked breakfast if wanted but there was really no need. The location, for Stow on the Wold, couldn’t be bettered. Downstairs had some ‘rustic charm’ which was fine, just the right side of characterful. Unfortunately our room was not so great. It was small - I guess that’s the price we paid so I can’t really complain about that. But our view was just of the fire escape, the curtain rail was falling off the wall and the floorboards were so uneven and squeaky that it made us worried how much noise we were making just walking in the room. But our main issue was the noise outside our room. Our door was immediately adjacent to another bedroom door, to the point that it sounded like they were coming in our room every time they opened their door. Which they did a lot, even in the small hours. When they talked outside our room it sounded like they were in our room talking to us. And just outside the room was a fire door which banged every time it closed, which was often. We could hear the cleaners vacuuming at 7am and the constant hum of a communal milk fridge just outside the door. Obviously I’ve no idea what the other rooms are like - maybe we just had the one bad one. But it was a shame because the other aspects of the hotel were good but we wouldn’t go back based on the state of our room (called Roe).

Short break in the Cotswolds

We liked the location and breakfast. We asked to be moved for our evening meal because it was noisy in the bar but the restaurant was quiet. The breakfast was good and the evening meal was okay. The stairs are difficult to climb with luggage and care must be taken. Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good although it is difficult to get into the shower in the Doe room if you have mobility issues. The staff are excellent.

Historic building so anticipate the quaintness and unique characteristics of an older accommodation (smaller rooms and a small shower). Great location!

Great property. Our room was very large. Had all the comforts- big, fluffy towels, morning coffee, a large comfortable bed. Parking was first come first serve, but we always managed to grab a spot. Would stay here again and would recommend.

The staff were very helpful and understanding . Unfortunately the entire village of Stow-on-theWold was without water. So the room and dinner reservations were cancelled at check in

Not recommended. Room was too shabby, did not look clean at all. Room was too small, hit the table multiple times while crossing as there was almost no space to walk. Shower did not work properly. Too expensive with all this fuss.

Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful hotel right on the town square. Really warm, friendly welcome when we arrived. Had checked in online before we arrived so were given our keys and shown to our room. Room was on the small side (we stayed in Fawn) but really not a problem as we were out all day. Great bathroom and shower, tea and coffee making gear in the room and fresh water and milk in fridges around the hotel so just help yourself and so much better than cartons of UHT! Continental breakfast was included and there was loads of choice, cooked alternatives available to order all freshly made. Everything is within walking distance, some amazing restaurants nearby. Was actually disappointed we didn’t eat in the restaurant as the menu looked fab, again with loads of choices to suit everyone. Stow is so pretty, loads of tea rooms, pubs and shops to wander around. We visited Bourton and Burford, both within a 10-15 minute drive so it’s a great base for exploring. Sad to leave and we’ll definitely be back. Can’t fault the hotel or staff, nothing was too much trouble for them.

Pleasant stay let down by clenliness

The room was nice and bed comfortable, bar area was cosy for a after dinner drink while cold outside. What let the visit down was the cleanliness, showerhead was green/blocked and window was black with mold.

Good but not perfect.

The accommodation was in keeping with the character of the property, however, this meant our room was compact for a 5 night stay. The staff were very attentive and the service was very good, the inclusive breakfast offering was sufficient as we don't eat cooked breakfast. When eating in the hotel at night the food was very nice, but the vegetarian options were limited to 2 choices and remained the same during our stay which led to us eating twice in the hotel. One issue we did have was that every table was permanently set for dining and meant that there wasnt anywhere to use as a break out space to read a book etc... We would however, consider returning to the property at a quieter time and for a more sensible 2 to 3 night stay as we were assured in quieter times the seating in by the top bar wouldn't necessarily be set for dining. We are also more aware that larger rooms are available to book.
