    Limited parking but we were lucky with a space at the back of the hotel. As the building is older, we could hear some other residents but appreciate this can't be helped!

    The hotel was everything we needed for our short stay. The location was perfect for what we needed and in the main square. Room was cosy and the breakfast was great. We were able to park in the few spaces available at the back.

    Bit of a mix up with our booking re our dog but all sorted within a few minutes. If the lady checking us hadn’t been thinking out loud we wouldn’t have known.

    Location slap bang in the centre of charming little Cotswold village. Parking at rear for Hotel guests. Breakfast super. Great friendly staff. We booked a table for evening then scouted out the numerous other village offerings. Stuck with the Kings. Evening meal was nice, they were turning folks away so have something booked if staying here.

    Our en suite was described as a private bathroom, when in fact it just had a shower so perhaps that could be reworded to reflect what to expect.

    A wonderful 500 year old building steeped in history. Charles 1 stayed there. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Because it is 500 years old there is not a lift and our old knees struggle with stairs. But there was a very strong young man who wizzed our cases up the stairs with no trouble. The manageress was so friendly and helpful and chatted about the area too. It is worth noting that the restaurant is very popular so it is worth booking. She managed to get us in with a short wait but in a Monday evening, it is tbe only restaurant open in the village apparently, all tbe rest close. That brings me to the highlight of our stay and that is the food. This is an excellent chef. Both of us highly rated our meal. We had seabass with a wonderful saffron sauce and my husband had blade of beef which was also cooked in an excellent sauce and a good potion of beef. But what also made this dish sing was the homemade horse radish sauce. For pudding I had the best apple crumble I have ever had, the crumble was really nutty. Excellent breakfast too, good produce, sausages, bacon, ham etc. You could park for free in the hotel grounds. It was a reasonable price for 1 night stay at very short notice.

    If you are staying on the Top Floor, beware there is a very steep and narrow set of stairs that are hard to climb when managing heavy suitcases if you are not in physically good condition. No issues if all you have is a carry-on bag.

    The choices of beer could include more local brews rather than national brands.

    Breakfast was excellent, the room was very spacious and comfortable. It’s a nice hotel as it has all you need but retains its historic feel. The manager is brilliant, always there and makes everything tick. We’d to return next year for the Air Tattoo weekend but it’s already sold out!

    The toilet was difficult to flush, and whilst it is an old building, the rooms could do with a spruce up especially the bathroom.

    Beautiful old building, very charming and full of character. The staff were very attentive. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. We had food one evening, and sat in the courtyard, which was very pleasing.

    The room had an upstairs mezzanine bedroom and was totally charming, sitting at the rear of the property where horses and carts would have been back in the day. We had an excellent Sunday roast in the pub and were 100% happy with the Kings Arms. Location right in the heart of Stow-On-The-Wold couldn't have been better.
