    The Inn was charming, cozy and welcoming. The staff (especially Richard, Emilia and Josh) made us feel like family We had a cozy room. It needed a few more hooks and racks to hang things. Especially the bathroom.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Wonderful historic inn at the heart of Stow on the Wold. The staff was exceptionally diligent and helpful. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious. Highly recommend the inn and restaurant but make sure you book a table at least a few days in advance.

    Excellent location, lovely staff, gorgeous property Room.and bath were terribly tiny and the only window opened directly on the trash bin.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    The property is beautiful, it has lots of history and is very popular. It was very clean and the room was beautiful, it included toiletries, towels, an iron and a hair dryer. The room is equipped with a coffee machine, tea, coffee and fresh cookies. Our bed was made up on the second day with fresh towels which was also a nice touch. The location is perfect, it is in central stow with lots of shops, restaurants and pubs but also only a short drive away from Bourton on the water which we also thoroughly enjoyed.

    Location, accommodate, dinner and breakfast were great

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Everyone was friendly and it was very welcoming and warm. Needed to ask for a fan as windows don’t open well enough in bedrooms.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Steeped in History. Great food, wonderful staff, comfortable room! Loved the chocolate chip cookie! Parking is impossible!

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    If you're looking to go out and have fun at night, the area is a bit quiet — not much to do and most places close by 10 PM. Still, it's a beautiful and charming place!

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Location good but parking difficult as they only have 3 spaces Service was not great - many issues Rooms average for the price Food very average for prices charged

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Room was comfortable and cosy Shower was broken!!! Could not shower during the stay. Unacceptable for a place that describes itself as luxury accommodation

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Beautiful building, great location to be within the town and bed was comfy. Super hot couple of days in this very small room with no aircon or fans (I did ask if they had any fans) meant no air in the room which was very stuffy. The room’s location at the front of the hotel with necessary windows open onto a constantly busy through-road also meant it was really loud when trying to sleep. No mini fridge to keep the waters left in the room cool either which would’ve been nice for a 5 star. Staff weren’t present at both arrival and departure, very hard to find someone!

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Beautiful character filled pub/hotel in great location. Lovely touches like homemade cookies and a coffee machine in the room. The shower leaked but also couldn’t be switched on without water going everywhere and the main blind was broken.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Beautiful looking property with nice decor. The manager is poor (passive aggressive, everything is an immediate “no”, eye rolling etc). Think a female Basil Fawlty!

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    The staff where lovely The main toilet was broken the whole of Easter stay and urinals where disgusting, for the cost of the stay and with the breakfast below average I would not recommend to stay.
