Guests have an abundance of well-regarded pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and boutique shops just moments from the doorstep! Why not enjoy an evening at The Old Stocks Inn, The Stag or Alexiou's restaurant & bar. For a delicious breakfast we suggest The Hive, or a coffee from Coach House Coffee.

The Stow Horse Fair is held twice a year, on the Thursday closest to 12th May and the Thursday closest to 24th October. This is a traditional fair for gypsies and travelling people to meet up and trade which dates back to 1476 when its Charter was granted. Stow is very busy for a day or two before and after each fair, and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants are closed. Whilst many visitors enjoy the colour and vibrancy associated with the fairs, other visitors prefer to avoid Stow on these dates

Reviews

5/5

Ideally situated on the square, right in the middle of everything, but totally peaceful . The Staircase was really comfortable and very clean. Very well equipped and very good quality pots, pans. The only one thing I would recommend would be to have some curtains or blinds in the sitting area. Wonderful stay. Would definitely go back again.

A lovely character but modern accommodation with everything you need for a quiet stay tucked away but in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold. Perfect location for exploring the beauty of the Cotswolds and we can highly recommend The Staircase.
