We just had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Stow Lodge Hotel for 2 nights. Every member of staff we encountered were a delight. Special shout out to the lovely young gentleman that served us for both our breakfasts and our tipples before bedtime in the bar. The room was comfortable and the shower had clear instructions. Overall would recommend and we can't wait to come back.
