Stow Lodge Hotel

Great stay. Loved the room, welcoming staff, and facilities.

Not at all Disabled friendly

This is an historic pub/inn that is definitely unique. Rooms small, but workable. Because of the age of the building, lighting is dim and the path to guest rooms is not direct - up one set of stairs, down 3, up 2, down the hall, up another set of stairs. Not a lot of fun with luggage, but ok. Staff helpful. Because I am dealing with some vision issues, improved lighting especially on stairs would be a help. Continental breakfast included with room was sufficient. Dinner at the inn was quite good.

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

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!

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.

The atmosphere was great. Friendly staff. Great food. We did have a problem with the stairs to the second floor, too many 😁

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.

Gary the manager was very welcoming every morning with a smile. Nice ales in the bar at night. The meal we had was very good value andthe continental breakfasts were very healthy and varied.

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.

Your advertising is very wrong in the sizing of the rooms, we had two large bags which we could not open, the room is the size of the bed plus the bedside table, very very small. We also had the persons before remains still on the floor, which we asked them to be removed. I don’t think a vacuum or duster has been used in these room for a very long time. Black mould around windows bathroom corners not touched, something very wrong with the cleaning team. Waited 1hour for single topped pie to be cooked, had to order another bottle of wine as we had finished the first one waiting. We would not recommend this hotel and maybe hotels.com need to check the sizes of the rooms, as we always look at that when traveling with large bags. I would say the room was about 8m2

Cute place, room was a bit small but otherwise very clean and cozy.

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).

Room are very small. Ventilation issue in room causes mole to grow on window. Door to restroom could not be closed properly. Very bad sound insulation for the wall and windows.

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.

radiator in shower area always on could not turn off. no mentio of stair and fire doors not good for seniors

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.

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.

Very clean, welcoming and kind staff - especially providing a packed breakfast for the mornings when I had to leave early to attend an event!

Very comfortable and clean. Good atmosphere. Dinner and breakfast both good. All staff were attentive and helpful.

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.

Great location and great hotel. Room was small but comfortable for 1 person.

Nice, quirky room decor, warm and comfy.

Wonderful stay, lovely pub, food amazing.. Room small but comfortable.. Would highly recommend.

We had the room above the pub area which was a little loud. The door closed very loudly.

Great English rustic rooms in this beautiful old property. Great location.

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

Lovely com ft or table and spacious room.. Good coffee facilities.

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.

Uniqueness of the property and the quality of staff and service.

Very clean, welcoming and kind staff - especially providing a packed breakfast for the mornings when I had to leave early to attend an event!

Gary the manager was very welcoming every morning with a smile. Nice ales in the bar at night. The meal we had was very good value andthe continental breakfasts were very healthy and varied.

It started off well. Check in was great dinner on the Wednesday was lovely. I had booked dinner on the Thursday but did want the same dish (only two veggie options) I was assured the chef would sort. My table was booked for 8 it was quite busy and they had given my table away and suggested I sat in the restaurant (which was empty, not nice being in my own) the member of staff then informed me it was a different chef on duty who was not prepared to make even an omelette for me. I left to eat elsewhere. I won’t be returning.

What a lovely property and delightful staff! Such a quaint and homestyle stay to get the genuine Cotswalds experience. Recommend highly, only down side is that we could not stay longer!

Very comfortable and clean. Good atmosphere. Dinner and breakfast both good. All staff were attentive and helpful.

The staffs are all nice and friendly. We especially enjoyed the continental breakfast. There’s a bus stop in front of the building, so the location was perfect for us.

Great staff. Fabulous comfortable bed & bed linen

Lovely little hotel in the middle of Stow-on-the-Wold. Which is a very nice little town. Really enjoyed our stay.

Very central. Highly recommended location for touring Slaughter, Bourton, Bibury etc

Perfect location in stow.
