The Old Stocks Inn

It was definitely a very warm welcome and fantastic food. Just visited today, not having booked beforehand and therefore not expecting a table but thought we would ask anyway. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier and they welcomed us (a family of 4 including our 2 kids and our 47kg Labby boy). We were seated in a really lovely clean and modern but welcoming bar area with comfortable seating. The food, service and atmosphere were really good. We can definitely recommend the Sunday roast beef and the Almond and Pear Tart. Husband also said the sticky toffee pudding was the best he had ever eaten! Definitely Recommend this wonderful restaurant. Dog friendly also, with a Dog food menu! Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Just had a lovely stay here for a girlie break. Service was exceptional, lovely food, friendly staff, spotless rooms that were nicely decorated. There was lots of little touches that made it such a lovely stay. We will definitely be back.

We had a truly lovely stay in Stow-on-the-Wold! The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the charming town. The bathroom was modern and well-appointed, with a great shower and high-quality toiletries that added a touch of luxury. The food at the hotel was delicious, with a well-thought-out menu offering a variety of tasty options, and the wine list was impressive, featuring some excellent selections to pair with our meal. The staff were warm and welcoming, always happy to help with recommendations and ensuring that we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!”

Amazing location, great breakfast! My husband and I stayed for two nights in April 2025 in a “cozy great room”. The service was great, room was definitely “cozy” (bathroom was well-appointed though a little awkwardly laid out). The location absolutely can’t be beat - the town itself is super charming and acts as a great home base for exploring the Cotswolds. We truly enjoyed the breakfast and they had some of the best coffee we had on our two week UK trip. Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I stayed at The Old Stocks Inn the last weekend in May until Tuesday 2 June. A lovely building hundreds of years old, tastefully furnished. Varied breakfast and evening dinner (they are open Mondays, whereas not everywhere is in Stow); worth booking. And all staff are excellent. Professional, friendly, efficient and effective - reception, front of house, room service, bar and breakfast. Okay, it’s not cheap, but it is well worth it. Thank you. Alan and Liz.

I’ve lost count of the number of times we have visited the Old Stocks and it never disappoints. The rooms are comfortable, the staff friendly & welcoming and the food is just consistently good. They do all of this at a great price level which many who charge far more struggle to match. My only concern is that one of their star staff members is leaving and I hope they don’t lose the special service he always delivers. But overall it’s the Postman Hotel, it always delivers!

Lovely hotel, a traditional coaching inn updated with style and a boutique feel to it. We stayed 2 nights and couldn’t fault the service, food or accommodation. Our room was spotlessly clean, and our bed very comfortable. Breakfast and Dinner was extremely good in terms of selection and quality. We had some dietary requirements which were instantly taken care of, and there was a clear attention to detail from all the staff. All the staff were helpful and welcoming and we would definitely recommend and return.

The Old Stocks in Stow is hands down the best place for cocktails with friends! 🍸 I can’t recommend the French Martini enough—absolute perfection! It’s our go-to spot after work for a little pick-me-up, and the atmosphere is always so welcoming. I’m really looking forward to one of their pop-up events; it’s such a great place to meet with friends or even for networking. Whether it’s a casual drink or a special occasion, The Old Stocks never disappoints!

Great lunch, wine was cold, burger was juicy, espresso a bit bitter but the desert was exceptional!! Others had great meals too and their deserts were fantastic too! We will be back. I would say the only down side was the service, they did not check if all was OK and we had to go in search of our own sauces.

We loved Old Stocks Inn for dinner. We all loved our first dishes, bok choy, heirloom tomatoes, and Caesar salad. Main courses were just as delicious. We all had the catch of the day with scrumptious risotto. And for dessert, wonderful strawberries and cream and chocolate mousse. My mother also has sever celiac disease (gluten allergy) and they were amazing accommodating her needs and making sure there was no cross contamination. Additionally, after looking around the property we began to wish we were staying there instead of our hotel across the way.

What a wonderful find! We had a scrumptious dinner. Catch of the day and bok choy were cooked to perfection, and the desserts were special & unusual (a dark chocolate mousse with brazed banana slices was divine). They handled our one guests Coeliac Gluten-Free needs with ease & assurance, providing GF bread.

Fabulous food, well presented and very tasty. Yummy fresh bead and delicious desserts. We had a last minute reservation of a large party which they agreed to. Had to wait a lot longer than they originally said to be seated and order. Service when seated was decent and one particularly friendly server helped make the evening very pleasant. Only giving 4 stars because of the long wait.

I just stayed here with my husband and two boys and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! Rooms were beautiful and clean, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and courteous. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds!

Fantastic food with a true culinary vision. We were in Stow-on-the-Wold for two nights and, after our first dinner, went back the second night. Highly recommended.

We had a great experience at the Old Stocks Inn. The staff were wonderful and the rooms were very well appointed. We had dinner one evening and breakfast each morning and all of the meals were delicious. We would definitely stay and dine here again.

Lots of veggie options here. I got a vegetable risotto and DH got a mushroom dish that he kept raving about. Very friendly service (you order at the bar), and cozy dining room.

The accommodations and the food are amazing. From the breakfast to the rabbit and lamb for dinner, everything was excellent. I can't recommend this place enough.
