Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Stow-on-the-Wold

We received a very friendly and efficient welcome from Richard, who helped us carry our cases up to our room on the first floor – I believe it is classified as an ‘Amazing Great Room’. Big king+ size bed and lovely large walk-in shower; there’s also a stylish claw-foot bath for those who can get in and out of such things, which no longer includes me. The bathroom is large and well appointed, but there’s a big crack in the sink. I loved the really big waste paper basket. A handrail to the upper level of the staircase would be very welcome. Hospitality tray; good teas, and good to see fresh milk in fridge. But you could perhaps re-think the Bronte biscuits, which I find over-sweet. Dinner was excellent; we both had the lamb with aubergines, anchovies etc, and thought it was the best lamb we’d ever had. Then I had the hazelnut choux pastry, which was superb. Breakfast was fine too; the selection of fruit and cereals is well presented and varied, with the apricots in orange syrup a stand-out. I had a selection from the cooked breakfast, and my husband had eggs benedict. The sausage was particularly tasty. The hotel was very busy on the Friday evening, but it didn't significantly affect the service for dinner. I had a champagne cocktail beforehand; times being what they are, it was actually English sparkling wine, but it was really good and I was practically pie-eyed before we moved into the restaurant – haven't had one for ages, but it was so worth it. I had smoked trout to start with some sort of pickled cucumber, and my husband had tortellini with mushroom sauce; then we both had pork two ways, very easy to eat and excellent. (Not sure what the singular of tortellini is, but there was just one large one.) I should also add that the hot mini-loaf that comes at the start of the meal is also very agreeable. There is a real sense of occasion when dining here, which is the mark of a good hotel. The staff are personable and enthusiastic and were very welcoming when we arrived in the restaurant. It all made for an enjoyable break.

Questo ci ha funzionato bene per 1 notte di soggiorno per un matrimonio a Stow in the Wold. Situazione molto centrale, con parcheggio gratuito vicino. Bella camera. Siamo stati consapevoli in anticipo che c'era un bagno privato esterno (questo era l'ultima stanza disponibile). Era un po' affidabile con i codici chiave della notte, ma ci siamo riusciti bene, la stanza era di carattere e ci piaceva il toccamento della sherry di benvenuto e la fornitura di vestiti fluffy. Abbiamo fatto fronte alla strada principale e il traffico inizia presto, ma in generale soddisfatto della nostra scelta e piaceva la posizione centrale per trovare colazione la mattina seguente. Il codice chiave per entrare nella proprietà è stato fornito 24 ore di anticipo.

Il servizio alla reception e al ristorante sono eccellenti. La stanza è pulita e viene con una macchina da caffè che è un bonus. Il letto è un po 'soft per me. L'unica questione che ho è il rumore intermittente che si gonfia dal tetto della stanza (ho soggiornato nella stanza 15) che ha influenzato il mio sonno. Poiché la stanza era davvero tranquilla, il rumore che si gonfia è molto ovvio. Spero che sia appena successo a me.
