- Thomas (9/5): We would use Stow as a base again and would definitely stay at Old Stocks Inn. It was a perfect fit. - Staff were very helpful. Nice breakfast in the morning. Lovely courtyard in the rear of the hotel for dining and enjoying the weather. Ample parking and easy access in and out. Room was ample size. Not much closet space or storage.
Shower was lovely. Cannot say enough about set temps on showers.
- Jenna (10/5): -

- Emily (10/5): - Location couldn't be beat and the staff made us feel so welcome. The rooms were cozy! Nothing!
- Kelvin (10/5): Exceptional hotel in an amazing location - It was very central and and had its own parking which was very useful given how busy the town was. The seating area in the bar was limited. But as the weather was amazing, it was great to sit outside in their own patio garden.
- Carol (9/5): Comfortable , newly decorated room with all essentials . Overall very enjoyable. - Good location . Comfy large bed . Staff were welcoming . Breakfast good . Bath in the bedroom but we were quickly moved to another room with a private shower room .
- Laura (10/5): It was a wonderful place to spend time in the Cotswolds. - I loved the decor, amenities and the friendly staff Loved it all
- Khan (8/5): Looking to come back for further away days - Room was beautiful. Breakfast was good. Staff friendly and helpful. We are as a company now actually looking at using this as a base for our Director away days
- Glen (8/5): -
- Mark (8/5): -
- Stina (8/5): Fint men dyrt - Charmiga och rymliga rum Dyrt
- Naomi (9/5): Everything you could want for the quintessential Cotswolds getaway! - The room was so cosy and the atmosphere in the property was extremely welcoming - a home from home feel! The location is excellent and coupled with the private parking, it made journeys out and about very accessible. Nothing!
- Jason (10/5): - Everything was amazing
- Beatriz (9/5): una habitación especial - me gustó mucho la habitaciòn, el
desayuno y la ubicación del sitio Pensé que tendría algún detalle porque era mi 25 aniversario..y así lo explicité, pero nada
- Samantha (10/5): Great hotel with great staff - Absolutely lovely quirky hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Room was clean and great size with everything you needed. Very comfortable. The food was amazing! Really enjoyed our stay. Great location in the centre of stow on the wold. Only downside was parking was limited. But you expect that in a small cotswold town. Even then there is rare free long stay parking a 4 minute walk away and free overnight parking in the market square. So not to much of an issue.

- Steve (8/5): Only stayed one night but overall enjoyed it despite reservations about the room and value for money - Convenient, well appointed, good restaurant and staff Room but cramped and didn’t feel good value for price paid

- Sam (10/5): -
- Hayley (8/5): - The place is beautifully well kept and the staff are lovely. Also perfect location in the town of stow. The bed and pillows were too firm for our liking so we didn’t have the best sleep :(
- James (10/5): Cosy and comfortable! Great food and drink with lovely staff! - Breakfast was exceptional and the restaurant/bar had great food & drink. Very cosy and warm environment during the winter, great location! We travelled with our 5 month old daughter and room was a touch small for portable cot
- Mark (9/5): -
- Amelia (4/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Wonderful place to stay after a long day visiting clients. - The food was outstanding beautifully presented and really tasty. The staff were so friendly and made everything seem like it was absolutely no trouble, really has time to take an interest in their customers. The room was perfect and the towels and shower gel etc really good quality. Definitely want to go back again and have no hesitation in recommending it as a fabulous place to stay if visiting the Cotswolds. Absolutely nothing disappointed.
- sophie (9/5): -
- John (8/5): -
- Susan (10/5): - Beautiful boutique hotel, very thoughtfully curated, and the restaurant prepared excellent food. Our room was above the kitchen exhaust fan and so there was a constant humming until around 10 pm.
Reception was polite, but a bit more warmth to match the ambiance would have made the stay feel all the more special.
- Robert (9/5): -
- Kerry (7/5): - The location was excellent being right in the middle of town. The room was lovely and cozy, with lovely touches like fresh milk in the fridge for tea. Classical music was playing when we entered the room and we kept it on our whole stay. The bed and pillows were extremely hard.
- Neil (7/5): - The location in the heart is Stow was great.
The staff were really friendly and the breakfast tasty and worth the money. Only 8 car parking spaces - or risk leaving your car in a supermarket car park, out of site and sound of the hotel. An 8 - 10 minute walk.
The room upstairs must have been taken by a family of rhino and their floor made lots of noise at all hours of the night and very early morning, making our night not so restful.
- Mark (10/5): - Breakfast was first class and the location superb Nothing it was perfect
- Ryan (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): Will definitely be returning! - Very cosy and comfortable!
Lovely and clean and great location Nothing!

- Maurice (9/5): When advising about bathroom problems the gentleman on reception gave us a discount on our bill. - Room and lunch.

- Emilly (10/5): -
- Erika (8/5): Amazing location - Location was amazing! We didn’t have breakfast included but had it on one of the days and it was great.
Staff were all lovely and there is a bar in the venue where we had a drink each evening and the cocktails were amazing. Would definitely recommend this hotel We stayed in one of the garden rooms and the walls are quite thin so occasionally you can hear people talking in the other rooms and taking showers.
Car park at the back is hard to find so maybe better instructions on how to get to that car park before hand would be good?
Beds could also be comfier as they are quite hard
- Cora (10/5): Perfect! - We can’t recommend this place enough. The rooms were modern and very clean. The staff were so attentive and the food was the best we have had in a long time!! We wouldn’t bother looking for anywhere else to stay next time we visit Stow!! The only niggle I had was that the pillows were quite hard.. which is fine if that’s what you like
- June (8/5): Loved everything about it - The location, atmosphere, staff, breakfast quality - all great!
