Fine for a short stay
Pros:

Central location. Breakfast was tasty.

Cons:

Staff were very unfriendly and borderline rude when we came down for breakfast. The breakfast room wasn’t full so clearly more staff were needed to manage demand.
Rooms are very small and our room was very close to the stairs so could hear all movement.

Great!
Pros:

Fantastic venue, great staff, brilliant location. Recommend highly.

Cons:

Being super critical, we were on the ground floor and as it's an old building you can hear the people staying above you. Slept through it mostly although the people above seemed to be walking around in the middle of the night

Exciting old world character at The Stag on Stow, but it’s lacking in comfort.
Pros:

The dining area was good. The meal was fabulous and the staff was very helpful. The ambience of the place was wonderful with great character. We had a lovely view from our room.

Cons:

The stairs were very difficult for those with cases. The beds were not very comfortable and the pillows were awful. Much of the night was spent trying to get comfortable.

Pros:

The hotel is very charming and cosy, with a lovely atmosphere. Just be prepared for quite a few stairs, as this is an old building. Overall, everything was very nice and we had a pleasant stay.

Overall good experience, very conveniently located and we had a pleasant stay with our dog
Pros:

Very conveniently located at the square, with lots of dining options and food nearby. The staff was all very nice and friendly. We needed to store our dog's food they allowed us to keep it in the fridge at the pantry. When we needed to freeze some ice packs for the road, they accommodated and helped us keep them overnight, and we could collect in the morning.

Cons:

Felt the shower area is slightly small, and without the bath curtain, water splashes out to the bathroom floor quite easily. Be careful of the shower pipes is very hot! Felt they could have more reserved parking lots for the guests as finding a parking lot there is tough, especially at check-in time.

will be coming back
Pros:

firstly i’d like to say how brilliant the staff were. We stayed in the potting shed , which is located outside of the main building which was very clean and spacious. The room has everything you need and the bed was very comfortable. We also had breakfast in the morning which had a good continental choice and cooked options too which were nice.

Cons:

limited parking at peak times
