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.

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.

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.

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.

Shame

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.

Revamp needed

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.

The stag hotel not happy to ever stay again

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

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).
