We met friends in the exceptional Stow Lodge today for lunch, having telephoned at the weekend to book a table. We arrived 2 hours early due to leaving home earlier than normal because our road was being resurfaced. However, we were permitted to park in the hotel car park despite our early arrival. We met our friends at the hotel a few minutes before our reserved time and were shown to a delightful table overlooking the church next door. The seats were high backed “settles” which were very comfortable due to their padded seats and which provided a pleasant ambience. We were greeted very warmly by the excellent staff and provided with menus and asked if we wanted drink whilst we chose our food. The menu offered an excellent choice of starters, main courses and deserts and, as an example, we chose chicken breast in creamy stilton sauce, slow cooked duck breast in a mouth watering cherry sauce, fish and chips and slow cooked lamb shank. Two of our party had desert which hey described as superb. We were invited to have tea and coffee in the hotel residents lounge that had a welcoming open log fire and comfortable Chesterfield sofas. The comfortable, atmospheric hotel, warm, extremely professional service and the excellent quality of all of the food made it a lunch to remember and we couldn’t fault our choice in any way. We live 40 miles either side Stow and have been meeting up periodically for lunch for some years and Stow Lodge has set the bar very high. We will definitely return. …

This is probably one of the best hotels I have ever been too. Warm, comfortable, no dogs and no children under 5. The staff are so friendly and polite and always around to help when necessary. Comfortable beds, nice size rooms, and the breakfast was easily the best ever. All served at the table with a friendly smile and eager to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The food really is fantastic and at a reasonable price. I have brought my wife here as part of her birthday present. We are having a nice pot of tea for two as I type this review. We both feel relaxed and very happy here and all the guests are so sociable and friendly. We have been before and we most definately will be coming again. This venue will definately not dissapoint.

I was unfortunate to have to cancel my booking at the last minute, i was booked in for two nights and had no right to a refund as i booked through booking.com. The Stow Lodge Hotel were more than reasonable and only charged me for the one night. I know this does not class as a review per se but it does give you an indication of the way the staff and management think. Thank you for your understanding and generosity.

Amazing, unique location, facilities, amenities and dining! The gardens and grounds are gorgeous, situated in the center of it all in the cutest Cotswolds town (in my opinion), Stow on the Wold. Our room was well appointed and comfortable, with a window seat overlooking the nearby church/grounds, and the Lodge's gardens, with a glimpse of the town's main square. Best view in the house it sure seemed like! The resident areas are unique and comfortable - we loved relaxing in the chair lounge (leather sofas and chairs, surrounding a fireplace) with a drink or a book after a day of touring. It felt very traditionally English! Each morning, we had a full English breakfast (included in the stay) served by a friendly and welcoming staff, who were eager to please, with warm hospitality. We had dinner on site for the first night, and it was exceptional. Only wish we had decided to dine here all three of the nights we stayed. Upscale menu, with classics including Lasagna, beef cuts and Yorkshire puddings, and great desserts! And again, servers, especially Dougie, were just terrific and attentive to dining needs. The price for the accommodations/amenities is very fair and good value. I was sad when it was time to check out after our three night stay ended. It is a special place and memory during our travels to England earlier this month. …

We chose Stow Lodge in Stow on the Wold for our stay in the Cotswolds in part because it had ground floor accommodation available, in a cottage across the lawn from the main lodge, which was formerly the Rectory of a well-known church, and partly because the lodge was set back from the main square, yet near shops, restaurants and pubs. (Our cottage, No. 30, was about 180 pounds B&B, VAT included.) It was larger than most rooms, with a living area, sleeping area with king bed (a bit soft), a small sitting room and a front patio overlooking the back of the lodge. Stow may not be the quaintest or most charming of the Cotswold villages, and the main Square is being taken over by a larger and larger parking lot. However, it is handy to be able to easily walk to attractions such as the medieval St. Edward's Church, Grade I listed with its remarkable door flanked by huge yew trees, and to places to shop and eat and drink. Stow is handy to visit other nearby villages, if you have a car or can spring a pretty penny for a hire taxi. As to Stow Lodge, it is the kind of places that just looks and feels very, very English. Indeed, although it was high season for tourism (August 2023) nearly all the guests appeared to be British. Besides us, there was one apparently American family and one evening a group touring in vintage Bentleys stopped for the night (one of the Bentleys, a 1929 4 1/2-liter, was owned by an Australian.) This Bentley surely would bring 300,000 pounds or more if offered for sale. Most of the guests, like us, were, shall we say, older? Nearly everyone staying the the small lodge had dinner in the very English dining room (think roast beef on Sunday, fried whitebait for appetizers, and roast lamb). You could have a drink in the bar or the in the sitting room with overstuffed leather sofas, but dinner started exactly at 7 pm. The room came inclusive of a full English breakfast, with eggs either fried, scrabled or poached, served promptly at 8 am. Service at this family-owned inn was friendly, cheerful and efficient.…

We called in for lunch on our trip around the Cotswolds. It was lovely. Friendly welcome. Attentive staff. Traditional menu which was delicious. Super fresh prawn and salmon salad for me was perfect. The restaurant was busy but this did not affect service and the staff were very good.

Myself and my wife used to visit this wonderful hotel on many an occasion some years ago and we are so glad we have returned with our two lads. We'd have come back far earlier than now had I got their age policy correct (kicking myself). An absolutely fantastic seven night stay, during which we had so many great memories come flooding back. What really makes this place for us is the old fashioned charm and surroundings in a superb building, complemented by a well stocked bar and comfortable bedrooms. Above all else though are the clear and obvious advantages of a 'family and friends' run establishment. Top notch food both breakfast and evening dinner, menu changed daily and such a variety and choice to eat, much of it home made and ever so tasty! Then there's the staff - a terrific, helpful and engaging group of people who make your stay so warm and relaxing. Wholly professional throughout, easy to have a chat and laugh with and all clearly love working at the hotel. I can't praise the Stow Lodge enough, we all loved it and can't wait to return! If you want to be looked after in the Cotswolds then this has to be the place for you to stay.…

Absolutely loved this place, I was only staying one night as I was DJ’ing at a wedding locally and from the moment I arrived till I checked out it was such a lovely inviting place to stay and the staff were even better than that! I stayed in the coach house and the room was perfect! The bed and pillows were amazing and I’m very fussy when it comes to both Breakfast was your traditional full English The only fault I have is that I couldn’t stay another night! And I wish I had time to look around the area as it looks beautiful Will definitely come back to stay again

Stayed a few nights at this charming old renovated hotel which was originally built in the 1700’s. Having said that, unfortunately there are no elevators and we had to carry our heavy suitcases several flights of stairs. Breakfast in the morning was good with excellent service with availability of vegetarian options. Right on the square with many shops, pubs and near a bus station where one can go to nearby towns.
