The staff were excellent, the room was fantastic and Stow is beautiful.
We enjoy d a delightful overnight stay at the porch house. The staff were helpful and friendly and our room was very comfortable with delightful decor. We didn’t eat at here because it was fully booked ,but the dining room looked very nice .Hope to be back one day !
Ho was great, helping us with the room, luggage, local services and basically everything!!! A special thank you to Mandy and Caitlin for looking after us at breakfast!!
It was truly a pleasure to stay at England’s oldest inn. We loved our room, the history and the restaurant. We brought our dog as well, and it was just such a lovely weekend. Can’t wait to come back.
