The Stag at Stow

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I was so looking forward to the experience of staying here. We had two rooms (1 for the adults and 1 for the older children) GOOD - Upon checking into the adult's room I was concerned as we were near the main door/laneway but it was very quiet and peaceful. - The kid's twin room in the next building was lovely and a good size. They loved their room and took plenty of selfies. - The Staff were welcoming and pleasant. - WIFI stable. - The pub was small but very pleasant AVERAGE - Maybe a shelf or somewhere to put a large suitcase. - Supply conditioner would be nice. - The venue's photos are like the rooms but there is some wear and tear you don't see and the rooms are quite small. - Neighbour bins were in the way of the carpark entrance. - Difficult to find rear carparks and def would not try in the dark. QUIRKY - Doorway and floor were all on an angle. - Short doorway SUGGESTION - Would have to have known more about the history of the buildings. Maybe a tour or history session or wall could be added.
