Excellent location right in the center of town. The parking area in the back is tight. Breakfast and dinner at the pub were excellent. Nice coffee/tea set up in the room with fresh milk. Room could have been cleaner but it was adequate.

Great stay in the Cotswolds!

A lovely old and quirky pub with rooms in the centre of Stowe in the Wold. The staff and service is excellent. I would highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay. This hotel is very different from a mainstream hotel. There is a personal feel to the place. Having no elevators that I saw, someone took our luggage up to our room. Then th

Lovely hotel - well looked after and welcoming communal spaces and attractive comfortable rooms. Staff can’t do enough for you, either. Would make a return visit and recommend.

We have stayed here a few times. The hotel has had a update which we thought was very good. Will certainly stay again.

A wonderful old pub with a fab vibe. Absolutely lovely staff and the food was excellent

Quintessential Cotswolds, Old World charm, lovely pub with rooms above in a beautiful town. Check-in was easy and all staff were excellent. Breakfasts were delicious and filling. Parking out back which was great as the square out front gets very busy. Evening meals were excellent (don’t forget to book, it’s a busy town and places to eat are limited)! (If you’re not great with a lot of stairs I’d recommend checking with the hotel before booking your room, getting to some of the top floor rooms with luggage could be a struggle for some). We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay overall. The hotel is old and taking that into account it is in dire need of a revamp. The paintwork is chipped and carpets on stairwell have seen better days. The room was clean but thick dust on the hinges of the doors and various other places let it down. The mould on the windows and dust on the blinds, again, a bit of a let down. The door outside our room banged and creaked with every entry/exit, so was dusturbing until everyone was in and settled for the night. However, ending on a high, the food was amazing, we had dinner in the restaurant and breakfast, just hope the kitchen had a better cleaner.

Excellent staff were very friendly and helpful

Perfect location to visit the villages around the area and the room was very clean. Shared main entrance to the pub and to the rooms upstairs was a bit awkward, but we weren’t bothered by the noise being at the top floor. Friendly staff. Food choices in Breakfast menu were good, the buffet part could be improved, but overall a very good experience.

average.

Small room and en-suite. Lady at breakfast not very friendly

Room and decor was a bit dated and tired,

Great hotel, very good food and friendly service. Would highly recommend it!

3/5, stay was fine, rooms not as luxurious as the photos suggest, breakfast was OK. Probably wouldn’t return.

Right in the heart of the centre. Quality of room poor. Fixtures and fittings damaged or poor quality, needs updating as looking very tired and shabby in places. Shower adequate but water lukewarm.

The staff were accommodating and friendly. Room was well prepared, warm and comfortable, but lighting levels were challenging. Disappointing there was no housekeeping after first day..at least a top up of tea and coffee. Difficult to access front door and stairs were a challenge for people with mobility issues. Breakfast was good. Didn't eat in for evening meals.

Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel/room itself needs more attention. There was a significant mould/damp issue in the hallway leading up to the room, and a more subtle but still prominent damp issue in the room itself. In addition to this, the room could have been cleaned better, we found dirt on surfaces and insects crawling on the pillow and dead insects left by the sink. The step leading to the bathroom has a big piece of metal coming away from it, which is a huge safety issue. The tub leaks, and the double shower while a good idea in theory, has a large opening that leaves you both feeling quite chilly. The concerning thing is that we mentioned the cleanliness, damp and safety issues when checking out and the member of staff just said okay as long as the rest of your stay was okay - eek. Considering we paid almost £200 for the night, there are much nicer boutique hotels nearby in a similar price point that would be worth staying at instead. Had the staff taken our concerns and feedback more seriously we would potentially have considered staying again, but the lack of response was disappointing, which is a shame as all our other interactions with staff were great.

We stayed 3 nights in the stag room in the old part of the hotel which was tired and needed a good old clean and a lot more attention to detail. At £130 it was quite expensive too. The floors sloped and so did the bed which I guess is just a feature of the hotel but made sleeping a little uncomfortable. However the windows also let water in. Boyfriends suitcase was pretty wet in the morning. There is also nowhere to put anything down, nowhere to put the suitcases down. We had just come down from the Peak District so had cases on us. There were no hooks to hang anything on either aside from a wardrobe, no table to put anything on, I can’t bend down so don’t want to put things on the sloping floor. The owner did bring up a table for me in the end (that is after he snapped at me for them being busy & short staffed!). Shower was blocked too. Breakfast was good, the young boy was particularly attentive and friendly, no comment on the rest of the servers however. We both travel around the UK a lot so have stayed in a lot of hotels and are in our mid 40s. However aside from the initial checking in, we did not feel particularly welcome and felt like a burden. Appreciate the staff are busy but you are in hospitality so need to be more hospitable and make us feel welcome and nothing should be a problem. The rooms were not serviced either, appreciate its down to Covid but we were here 3 nights and you should be more attentive. Unlikely that we will return or recommend.

Welcome was very poor told the room would not be ready until 4.00 PM when booking it says 3.00pm. Hotel is very tired with worn out carpets small room very small king size bed! Toilet seat not fitted and no grout in the floor tiles in the bathroom. Dark small room would not stay again

Clean, querky, well designed rooms

Stow is a beautiful village with lots old world charm. Stag in on the Square right in the centre with parking outside or in their car park. The staff made us very welcome and the room was spacious and well equipped. However there was a strong mouldy smell coming from outside the door due to moth eaten carpet and a leak in the corridor. That needs immediate addressing as for the price of the room that is unacceptable. Definitely would return to Stow but unless the damp problem was sorted would maybe stay somewhere else.

Very good size room, we were upgraded as there was a double booking for our original room. Also given a complimentary bottle of Prosecco which was lovely.

We stayed in room 8, which is a large room, with a huge bed and stylish décor (with a toilet, separate to the shower). All the staff were great, from the friendly welcome we received upon arrival, to the bar staff and the breakfast staff. Whilst all the breakfast and bar staff were great, there was one guy in particular who looked after us very well, in the bar and one lady in particular at breakfast (dog lover) - sorry we didn't get your names. Thank you for looking after us all. We had a great time. I would recommend staying here. It is very dog friendly too (although dogs shouldn't really be allowed on the seats, IMV! We only saw once incident of this). Free parking is available at the rear of the property, however, there is limited availability and it is slightly tight for larger (longer) type cars. We got parked there though, so again, thank you.
