The Stag at Stow

I took my wife here for Mother’s Day and we were very disappointed. The window frames were rotten, the bath had scum dried around the top part of the bath, extremely dusty. No privacy as the showers and bath are in the bedroom the connecting children’s room has no door into the main bedroom with an open bathroom! We had our evening meal at the hotel which was terrible to the point we forfeited our paid for breakfast and went elsewhere to eat, in the fear of eating a terrible breakfast too. We also witnessed a chef coughing all over the food he was preparing without covering his mouth. Avoid avoid avoid

Stopped in for drinks. Friendly service . Sat in the bar which was very charming and warm. Ordered the pie for two. It was Steak and Ale pie that was accompanied by vegetables and mashed potatoes. It was fabulous. Best I’ve ever had. Then we decided to have the Sticky Toffee pudding. Also wonderful. This by far is the best place to eat in Stow.

I was so looking forward to the experience of staying here. We had two rooms (1 for the adults and 1 for the older children) GOOD - Upon checking into the adult's room I was concerned as we were near the main door/laneway but it was very quiet and peaceful. - The kid's twin room in the next building was lovely and a good size. They loved their room and took plenty of selfies. - The Staff were welcoming and pleasant. - WIFI stable. - The pub was small but very pleasant AVERAGE - Maybe a shelf or somewhere to put a large suitcase. - Supply conditioner would be nice. - The venue's photos are like the rooms but there is some wear and tear you don't see and the rooms are quite small. - Neighbour bins were in the way of the carpark entrance. - Difficult to find rear carparks and def would not try in the dark. QUIRKY - Doorway and floor were all on an angle. - Short doorway SUGGESTION - Would have to have known more about the history of the buildings. Maybe a tour or history session or wall could be added.
