Pros +
- Very quaint historic hotel in center of beautiful village. If you don't like old, quirky buildings, find something else. Otherwise, this was terrific!!
- LOCATION, ROOM AND FOOD ARE EXCELLENT!
- We love this inn. It is one of our favorite places. This was our third stay. Very charming. And staying in Stow is perfect for a tour of the Cotswolds.
Cons -
- SECOND TIME TO VISIT THIS HOTEL AND WILL RETURN AGAIN NEXT TIME WE ARE IN THE AREA.
- The bathroom in our room was very tight, and the sink was so small it was difficult to use without getting the room wet. But the room and inn are so perfect in other ways that it is hard to complain.
- Unfortunately they only issue we had with our stay is something out of their control with such an old place. The road noise was the only drawback of this gorgeous Inn.

Beautifully appointed, comfy bed, warm staff, excellent value for a central place to stay in the Cotswolds. Breakfast was delish! We hope to return.
The old charm of the building coupled with the modern amenities of the room. The room was beautiful!

Ambiance of a location that is over a thousand years old.
Room was charming but cramped.
This was such an adorable, quaint, and super clean room. It was like staying at Snow White's cottage. I would recommend this place to everyone!
Very cozy and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Food was good - ate dinner and breakfast at The Porch House.
Location, accommodate, dinner and breakfast were great
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.
Steeped in History. Great food, wonderful staff, comfortable room! Loved the chocolate chip cookie!
Parking is impossible!
Super friendly staff, yummy breakfast, big room, and a comfy cozy bed. It was pretty hot and there was no AC, but luckily there was a nice breeze.
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!
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
Room was comfortable and cosy
Shower was broken!!!Could not shower during the stay. Unacceptable for a place that describes itself as luxury accommodation
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!
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.
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!
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.
Great location friendly staff gorgeous room
Location amazing, property needs a little tlc. The rooms were cold with no heating on, WiFi didn’t work but the property had a really nice feel to it. Had problems contacting the property, constantly ringing and leaving messages but no one ever returned my calls and emails kept bouncing back
