Can’t wait to come back.
Beautiful hotel right on the town square. Really warm, friendly welcome when we arrived. Had checked in online before we arrived so were given our keys and shown to our room. Room was on the small side (we stayed in Fawn) but really not a problem as we were out all day. Great bathroom and shower, tea and coffee making gear in the room and fresh water and milk in fridges around the hotel so just help yourself and so much better than cartons of UHT! Continental breakfast was included and there was loads of choice, cooked alternatives available to order all freshly made. Everything is within walking distance, some amazing restaurants nearby. Was actually disappointed we didn’t eat in the restaurant as the menu looked fab, again with loads of choices to suit everyone. Stow is so pretty, loads of tea rooms, pubs and shops to wander around. We visited Bourton and Burford, both within a 10-15 minute drive so it’s a great base for exploring. Sad to leave and we’ll definitely be back. Can’t fault the hotel or staff, nothing was too much trouble for them.

Pleasant stay let down by clenliness
The room was nice and bed comfortable, bar area was cosy for a after dinner drink while cold outside. What let the visit down was the cleanliness, showerhead was green/blocked and window was black with mold.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
