So disappointed
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

The room was tiny. It was noisy with Tv sounds from the next room. Smokers sat outside below in the ‘garden’ so our room filled with smoke.
I was promised a call from the management who were too busy to talk to me at check-out. So disappointed because it was our special anniversary and it spoiled our time in Stow

Niet voor herhaling vatbaar.
Cons:

Zeer lawaaierige kamer direct boven het café.
Medewerkers waren niet bereid om de kamer om te wisselen.

Good home base for Cotswold visits
Pros:

Nicely appointed hotel in a 12th-century building in the center of Stow-on-the-Wold. Great location for walkable shopping and dining, including the in-house restaurant. Friendly staff. One of the parking areas has 2 (separately paid) EV chargers.

Cons:

The lack of a/c or in-room refrigerator loomed large during the late-June heat dome. The in-room fan would have been fine for normal summer weather, but just couldn't keep up in this case. Although there is a hall refrigerator for cold water and milk, the staff had a hard time keeping it stocked when demand spiked because of the heat.

Cosy comfortable room in a perfect location
Pros:

Convenient location and gentlemen who checked us in was polite and helpful

Cons:

The first younger girl we spoke to at the hotel (think she may have been a waitress) seemed aloof and not very bothered about being helpful.

Super schöner Aufenthalt in Stow

Schönes altes Hotel in Stow, perfekte Lage für Ausflüge und um Stow selber zu erkunden. Problemlose Ankunft mit guten Parkmöglichkeiten, sehr gepflegte Anlage, sehr freundlicher und guter Service, süßes Zimmer mit allem, was man benötigt.

Cons:

Die Hitze war etwas schwierig im Zimmer, aber mit dem Ventilator schon deutlich besser.

Nice except for the bedroom
Pros:

Atmospheric

Cons:

Our bedroom was far too small. It was advertised as a double room but in reality it was a single room
