Cotswold garden tearooms in Cotswold

Nice outdoor seating and tasty coffee and cakes. Let down by strange service set up, we only ordered coffee and cake. The coffee arrived promptly but no sign of our cakes. When I asked, I was told by 2 members of staff just sat around that there were other orders ahead of mine. Why neither of them can be trusted to put 2 pre sliced cakes on plates is beyond me.

Top notch delightful tea room, stopped for lunch. Home made quiche, o my goodness, so tasty, we both chose a different one: ham and egg (mysef) and a spinach veg, it was so deep, beautiful pastry, and served warm with side salad. Even the coffee was delicious. Obviously busy at lunch time, efficient however you will have to wait, no problem at all. Another table had home made soup overwhelming steamy bowl.

Great little spot for tea. We were walking Stow when a massive downpour showed up so we hunkered down and got some tea and a scone and was delicious. Owner was very kind. Would recommend.

A lovely little Cafe with outdoor dining. We ducked in here for a quick cuppa & to get out of the rain. The scones were delicious and fresh. The people were very friendly. A lovely place for some afternoon refreshments.

We had a friend down from Scotland and chose this cafe at random , so glad that we did. I had bacon and leek quiche (large slice) with a salad which was beautiful. The salad had an ingredient which I had never had or heard of before, Israeli cous cous, ( it's not cous cous) Had to ask the owner what it was, very small balls of pasta mixed with herbs, olive oil and they had also added some chickpeas, on a bed of lettuce. Really very good, will be back.

Echo the other reviews, wish we would’ve read them before visiting. Rude staff (not the two young waitresses, the manager!), slow service and very overpriced. They forgot about my cream tea, so after waiting a while for it to arrive, we requested a refund for it as by that time we had already drank our drinks and my partner had eaten his food. Manager was extremely reluctant to refund.

Been here once before and enjoyed it so called in again. Had the soup and Sandwich meal which was excellent value. Carrot and cumin soup was hot,tasty and homemade. Lovely lean hand carved ham and tomato sandwich in fresh white bread. Open log fire added to the warmth of the cafe. Nice environment for lunch and timed it right as it got quite busy. Would visit again.

La camarera no tenía mucho que decir para hacernos sentir bienvenidos. El único inodoro que está afuera debe revisarse más. Trozos de papel en el piso que debían barrer y vaciar el contenedor y recoger las toallas de papel que nunca aterrizaron en el contenedor. Telaraña en la pared de la derecha en el fregadero y telarañas entrelazadas en el marco del espejo.

Intenté ir a este lugar dos veces en dos días separados. En cada ocasión, el personal fue grosero o ignorante, ignorándonos por completo o cuando se les preguntó si estaban abiertos, ¡simplemente dijeron que sí y se marcharon! Cuando se les preguntó si tenían una mesa, dijeron que no a pesar de que dos personas se habían ido dejando una mesa vacía. Ciertamente no recomendaremos este lugar. Recomendaríamos el salón de té de Lucy o Huffkins, donde el servicio fue bueno.

Estábamos almorzando en Stow on the Wold y elegimos los Cotswolds Garden Tearooms. Pedimos un labrador y un panini. Después de casi 40 minutos sin sándwiches, le preguntamos a un miembro del personal que pasaba dónde estaban. Pasaron otros 5 minutos y le preguntamos al mismo miembro del personal cuándo íbamos a conseguir los sándwiches ya que estábamos en una línea de tiempo y necesitábamos volver a un recorrido en el que estábamos. Su actitud fue corta y dijo que nos faltaba personal y que no era su culpa. Las personas que llegaban después de nosotros fueron atendidas, así que dudo que un sándwich tostado fuera demasiado complicado. No había sentido de urgencia al tratar de resolver su descuido, así que solicitamos un reembolso para poder ir a otro lado.Al hacer mi pedido inicial, fui el único que completó la hoja de Covid pidiendo nombre y datos de contacto. El menú ofrecido era un menú plastificado y lo vi pasar de una mesa a otra sin limpiar.Espero que este haya sido solo un mal día y que aprendan a aceptar sus errores y se esfuercen más por resolverlos en el futuro. No los recomendaría en este momento.

We visited this cafe twice during our stay in the area and really enjoyed both visits. Nice seated area outside which was a real sun-trap and the cakes were delicious. Friendly and helpful staff.

En primer lugar agradezco durante COVID que el servicio demore más de lo habitual, sin embargo, el personal parecía que todo era un esfuerzo y estábamos causando un inconveniente por estar allí. Pedí la papa asada 8. 95 que era extremadamente caro para lo que obtuve (queso rallado envasado). Realmente me costaría mucho recomendar.

Pasé por una taza y un refrigerio no muy impresionados, pedimos 2 tés de crema y queríamos un pastel de té, pero se agotaron, así que optamos por los bollos, el té era débil, los bollos eran agradables, aunque pedimos una sola fruta, obtuvimos 2 simples y los bollos estaban muy crudos y se dejaronMUY DECEPCIONADOno volveré

Los sándwiches eran sabrosos, pero se olvidaron de traer una taza de té con el té crema (!) Y no se disculparon cuando finalmente lo trajeron. Tampoco crema para el chocolate caliente. Generalmente poco inspirador y el personal parecía harto. No tendría prisa por volver.

Solo me detuve por un pozo bastante delicioso de Earl Grey. Servicio rápido y encantador, ambiente maravilloso y ubicación encantadora. Los baños están afuera, lo cual es novedoso si se prepara un poco en enero: -) El personal es muy amable y simpático y puedo informar el estiramiento de la olla a unas magníficas 6 tazas de té jajaja.

Estábamos cansados de toda la caminata y nos detuvimos para tomar una taza de té, paninis y bollos. Encontramos los bollos de buen tamaño, cálidos, húmedos y desmenuzables y la crema coagulada era generosa.En realidad, desde ese día, sigo pensando en los bollos de vez en cuando, y parece que todavía no puedo encontrar ninguno que coincida con el sabor y la textura. Los batidos también estaban bien. Me gustó especialmente la decoración, ya que era bonita, relajante y alegre. El servicio fue tan, así que, el personal no hace todo lo posible para ser amable y servicial.

La comida estaba bien, sin embargo, el servicio fue muy lento y el personal parecía muy poco centrado. La sugerencia del título de frijoles sobre tostadas me sugirió que la comida llegaría con dichos frijoles colocados encima de la tostada blanca (que se olvidaron de pedir en el punto de pedido), sin embargo, este no fue el caso. Me saludaron con "frijoles junto a la tostada". La comida era de buena calidad pero no era lo que se esperaba.La comida ofrecida fue una selección decente, pero el personal no mostró ningún entusiasmo por su producto y esto no es lo que esperábamos de una tarde y ponerse al día.El precio estaba bien, sin embargo, no estoy seguro de que volvería a asistir a este café, incluso el cartel detrás del mostrador que decía "No hay teléfonos más allá de este punto" no fue cumplido por el personal, ya que estaban allí en sus teléfonos detrás del mostrador, altamente profesional. Quizás el personal que disfruta de su trabajo beneficiaría a este lugar.

We have previously used this B & B a number of times over the last 4 years and have always had a great stay however, it would seem that standards have dropped. On departure in 2018 we booked for September 2019. As usual I emailed Shelly to confirm access arrangements a few days before arrival and was given the code to enable us to get the key. At this time I was informed that breakfast was now being served across the road at “in the mood” and was being served at the slightly earlier time of 08:30 to 09:30. We were quite disappointed by this as 1. We felt we should have been informed when the changes were put in place 2. We would have liked a little more of a lay at the weekend as we are both up early for work in the week 3. Given the time of year, going across for breakfast meant getting soaked due to the weather. On arrival we let ourselves in and settled into the room (No 2) which is now starting to look a little tired and started to get ready to go out for dinner. Whilst in the bathroom I noticed the vanity mirror was practically falling off the wall and the towels felt old and rough. Nevertheless we got ready and went out. On returning to our room and whilst laying in bed my hand touched the top of the head rail, and it was then I noticed that it was absolutely thick with dust and so bad I had to get some tissue from the bathroom to clean it. We had breakfast as late as possible across the road on the Saturday. There was no difference in menu but after it was served no one even asked if it was ok or if we would like more tea / coffee but it was pleasant enough. On returning to the tea rooms we noticed it was still all shut up, we were informed on departure that this was due to staff shortages.On Sunday we decided to skip breakfast as we were due to check out at 11 and the weather was so bad we didn’t want to get soaked so just had aLazy morning. A member of staff was around to settle up with on the Sunday morning and I raised some the issues with her but felt it was best to email Shelly direct with some feedback.I was absolutely shocked with the tone and unprofessional response I received. Rude to say the least.For the price we paid there are far better places to stay. I definitely wouldn’t be paying £110 a night for a room of this standard and in. Such poor condition,only have an hour for breakfast on a weekend and have to walk across the road for it.Needless to say we will not be returning.

food looked very poor , me and my partner ordered plougmans slice of cheese gala pie celery small bowl pickle looked awful and ham , and a little bowl of butter , well it was half slice of stale bread , yes you read that right half slice , meduim bread , the only things on the plate that was nice was ham and the cheese , i did Question about was that right to have half a slice of bread , she replied yes i have been told to do that . As i walked into the Tea room i noticed a lady had left a whole salad which got me thinking . the Celery looked like it needed the ends taken off which were brown

We stayed here in a gorgeous room with all the comfort anyone could want. We also had our mid morning snack in the garden and had the most delicious cakes you can believe. The ladies we met who work here are the nicest, friendliest and most helpful folks we’ve met among all very nice local people so far.

Very cute tea room with very friendly staff. Sat outside in the little garden which was lovely 🌹. Scones were fab as was the coffee

Nos encontramos con este salón de té en Stow on the wold cuando buscábamos el desayuno. No era el más barato, pero obtienes lo que pagas. El desayuno inglés completo era alrededor de 10, pero queríamos algo un poco más ligero. Fuimos por un sándwich de tocino y huevo. Aproximadamente 6. 2 grandes trozos de sabroso tocino con 2 deliciosos huevos fritos justo. La única decepción fue que el pan estaba ligeramente seco.El servicio, tuvimos que esperar un poco más, ya que una pareja que vino después nos sirvió primero. No estoy seguro de por qué fue así cuando la camarera nos vio entrar primero. Llegaron unos 5 minutos después. Una familia vino y se sentó en la mesa junto a nosotros, miró el menú, se levantó y se fue.Es una lástima que no ofrezcan un desayuno más pequeño a los 6. 50 ish. ¿Tendrían más negocios?Si volviéramos a entrar tendríamos uno entre nosotros, ya que fue muy satisfactorio.Una pequeña cosa era la salsa de tomate en las botellas de Heinz. Cuando pregunté si era Heinz, la señora que tomaba el dinero dijo que sí. Lo obtuvieron de mayoristas en grandes cantidades y lo decantaron en las botellas. Sabía diferente a Heinz, un poco tarta y era un poco más rojo en color.También había una zona de patio exterior.Había un solo baño afuera.

Had tea and scones here. Delightful!! Staff are lovely and a charming little place. I would recommend.

Clean tidy, friendly service...what’s not to like!, Homemade cakes and freshly cooked light lunches and breakfast all very generous portions Make sure you check out this real Cotswolds TeaRoom

Visited at Easter 2019. Served by a group of really cheerful group of ladies. We ordered a cream tea together with homemade lemon cake. Absolutely delicious... Do call in!

We visited the tea rooms on the 15th February we were welcomed by two lovely ladies who were very friendly we ordered food which came in know time and was presented very nice and was tasty we could see there were just two staff on but they were very efficient and didn’t let the fact that they were busy get to them every body that came in while we were there were greeted with a warm welcome and a smile they seem to be enjoying there work which we felt made for a pleasant atmosphere we will definitely be comeing back the only downside was the cakes they looked a bit dry and needed to be under domes

Called for a coffee and a toasted tea cake. Prompt service, friendly staff. Coffee was good and teacake was served with a good portion of jam. Recommend and would return.

Had a 2 night stay here and would highly recommend it. The rooms are spotless, the staff very friendly and the breakfast was amazing.

Had a two night stay, wish it were longer. Room exceeded expectations.

Very disappointing visit to these tea rooms. Terrible service, took 25 minutes from ordering to get a cheese sandwich, £6.95, didn't even have butter on the bread - cramped with a pushchair, unhappy unhelpful staff, miserable manager. the rest of the food order was good once it arrived, but this was not a good experience and we will not return, ever.

Good food and great service. Had the jacket potato and my partner had the quiche. No complaints. Loved their scones.

People who work there clearly don’t want to. Very slow service because they’re chatting at the back.

On a recent visit to Stow we decided to pop in here for a quick lunch. My cheese scone was delicious although by the time it arrived my tea was well stewed. Husband had a very nice soup but although the bread was plentiful it was very dry. The main cause for concern was the condition of the toilet and washbasin area. I am not that fussy but the room looked like it had not had a clean for a very long time and the floor was littered with paper. There are many cafes in Stowe, next time I will try another.

Waited five minutes before having to go and ask to be served.

Positive - Traditional, nice place, staff ok, has a toilet Negative - Didn't get our full order 1st time, Coffee (half a cup), Blackcurrant slice that arrived was small.

Popped in for breakfast on a midweek morning. Ordered a sausage and tomato sandwich from a waitress who struggled to greet us or engage in any conversation beyond "are you ready to order". Cue waitress bolting out of the tea room and returning five minutes later with sausages, at which point I was told they didn't have any bread rolls so it would have to be white sliced. In the meantime an elderly couple sat down near us and were less tolerant of the waitresses demeanor, looking perplexed at how she barely said a word to them. The taxi driver hauling luggage into the tearoom whilst opening and slamming the front door was the final straw for those two, who left without ordering. Sandwich arrived, sausages and bread were great, no issues, but the tomato wasn't cooked, which made it all in all an underwhelming sandwich. It wasn't cheap either. Not worth the money.

Popped in for a soup and sandwich and sat in the garden which was nice because of the lovely weather, it's was a great value meal especially the nice thick cut home cut ham yummy.

Visited for 11's on New Year's Day with friends. We had tea cakes, which were delicious and served with butter and jam, and a selection of different hot drinks.

Muy agradable sala de te, disfrutamos unas tortas riquisimas en el jardin, buenos precios y buena atencion...

We had a lovely breakfast in here with tea and coffee. The decor is like Alice in Wonderland, very pretty and cosy.

Easy check in owner explained no parking but told us about 72 hour free car park by Tesco back off main road. Room clean and comfortable except bed which had slat missing and very low ceiling which would be a problem if tall. We sampled a cake from tea room,excellent fruit cake. Breakfast was hot with Gloucester old spot sausage and devious bacon. An extra cup of coffee would have been nice. Great location as in centre of Stow, not suitable for disabled. Tearoom bright and colourful with outdoor seating too, although tearoom a bit cold in morning. Would return

We called in for coffee having been to the outside area previously. They do really good hot chocolate plus have a good selection of cakes. They also appear to do breakfast as well as breakfast rolls. Friendly staff.

Had a quick cream tea after a long walk and it was lovely. Lovely little cups and saucers. There foods was nice and the setting was lovely. Worth a visit for tea and cakes. Didn't try the food.

The setting was lovely and the service was friendly and quick.

We chanced upon the courtyard and loved the pretty setting.

Welcoming of the family, quick service and delicious large warm scones served up as a traditional 'cream tea'.

Elegimos este café como amigos me gusta el té y no con café. Fue una experiencia muy agradable y todos disfrutamos de nuestros almuerzos.

Average food, disappointing tea and coffee, service lacking in any kind of human warmth. No concept of the importance of the customer. The 'garden' is just a courtyard of gravel and paving. This cafe and its staff would no doubt do well on the sea front at Blackpool, but for a Cotswolds cafe in such a prime location they have missed the point. Don't be tempted: further up the road or (even better) on the opposite side of the road you will find cafes that will enhance your experience of this atmospheric town, not leave you wondering what it was all about.

No prior knowledge of the place and whilst in the town on a cold January day, a warming drink was required. We found a table easily only two other couples in and we were close to the very welcoming fire. Coffee and teacakes for both, good service and well presented. We would return if in the area again.

Popped in this tearoom for a cream tea and as soon as we entered the premises we were greeted in an almost gruff/military way! The place had a touch of shabby/chic with a hint of fairy tale. The huge fireplace would have been suitable to roast a whole hog! My wife and I ordered the cream tea as mentioned earlier and when it arrived I was very pleased to see the China Crockery, both cups and Pot which are my favourite. The pot we got would have been enough for 6 people when normally you get only a pot for two. The scones although a bit on the crumbly side tasted delicious and the jam was good too. I did manage to get a smile from the owner/waitress at the end, when I complimented her on the scones!

There was a generally grumpy atmosphere of the staff who were clearly not coping. We didn't in any way feel welcomed. There was no lemon to go in the tea, the china milk jug had a visible crack down one side through into the milk, the lettuce was so old it had gone brown and soggy and the 'baked potato' had a very soggy skin typical of microwaved potato but we were assured it was baked. Disappointing.

We visited the Cotswold garden tearooms for breakfast as a family of four on our stay in Stow this August. The breakfast selection is great and we went for the full English. The service wasn't the fastest but once the food arrived, it was tasty and a great portion so we had no problem to wait, especially as we had chosen to sit in the sunny and pretty courtyard garden. Overall I would visit again if I was in the area.

Had a lovely lunch here while on holiday in the Cotswolds, unfortunately had to sit inside due to the rain. The food was wonderful and the 2 waitresses were bustling around and getting sorted for everyone really quickly. The cafe was full but you didn't have to wait overlong for the food.

Had a lovely lunch at this tea room. Food was fresh and tasty and it was lovely to be able to sit in the pretty courtyard in the sun.

Mooching around the town and stopped here for a light lunch. We both had a sandwich which were fresh and very tasty with a nice little side salad. Although quiet the was a bit of a wait for the food but for me that showed everything was freshly prepared. It was nice to be able to have a mint syrup option for my hot chocolate which was delicious and gave me a great sugar buzz all afternoon!

Off chance lunchtime visit. 1230 and cafe empty. 6 other customers came in eventually. Although out orders were prepared individually still had quite a wait seeing as we were only customers when order was placed. Sandwich with side salad ok. Nothing special. Staff clean and polite. Restaurant clean and tidy.

We had lunch here. A ham and cheese sandwich and a Cornish Pasty. Both were disappointing to say the least. Not recommended.

Stayed at the Cotswold Garden when in Stow for a wedding, so did not see much of it other than just B&B. It was very comfortable and welcoming. We had a great breakfast outside in the courtyard on a lovely Sunday morning and went on our way feeling very will looked after. Our room (3) was quiet and comfortable with a spectacular bathroom tucked away down a passage.The only drawback we could see is that it's tricky to park while unloading on a busy Saturday in Digbeth Street - we just took our chanches and parked on the pavement for 10 minutes. Parking in Stow on a summer weekend can be a nightmare!

Visited here for lunch with my 6month old son and my dad, nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. My baby made a mess and I offered to clean up but they didn't mind at all and insisted on doing it. It's pram friendly and they helped move tables to accommodate us. Staff interacted with my son which he found great and made us smile. Lovely quaint tearoom, nice colourful chairs, open and bright. Option of sitting in the garden too. Food was good and prices were reasonable. Will definitely visit again.

Myself, my husband and our little boy visited Stow last Sunday on Mothers Day. We decided to have a cooked breakfast after travelling quite some way to reach our destination. On entering we were greeted with the most beautiful smile from Shelly, think she may be the owner. We ordered a cooked breakfast which was just so delicious and had toast with the choice of homemade jam or marmalade. The coffee was so tasty, best coffee I've tasted other than my own. Whilst eating breakfast my little boy got a bit touchy as he'd had enough of sitting for a while. Shelly was such a lovely, kind lady that she offered to take him from us and walk hi, around the courtyard at the back of which I had full view of them from the French doors. I would definitely eat here again next time I visit Stow as the service, food, atmosphere and cleanliness was first class. Thank you Shelly you made my Mothers Day.

We arrived just before they officially opened- but this wasn't a problem as they let us sit down and relax. The full English is £8, and it took a while to arrive, and it was quite small for the price- however, it tasted absolutely fantastic so I'll definitely be back. The butter must have been local as it tasty really good with the fresh toast.Lovely bacon, beans, 2 sausages and tomatoes- toast and butter too. The coffee was excellent two. The service was slow but very friendly. I look forward to visiting again

Lovely service, made to feel very welcome with our Labrador. Attention to detail and lovely fresh food was ideal.

The service was a little slow however our paninis were quite tasty. Would suggest that the cafe keeps the bottled drinks in a fridge though (or turn the temperature down) because our drinks were warm and the ice given wasn't enough to make the drink cold.Tea room was nice, but as there appear to be many other cafes in Stow-on-the-Wold we would try another cafe next time.

Absolutely loved our stay here. There are only 3 or maybe 4 rooms but from what I believe they are all decorated uniquely and to a really high standard. Ours was very quirky and definitely worth paying the extra for to stay here over any other guest house we looked at. We were very lucky with the weather during our visit to it was lovely to be served breakfast in the courtyard. Centrally located so you can walk around the whole of Stow and enjoy all the lovely antique shops and tea rooms.

Looking in through the window, oozed cuteness & charm.We were left to choose our own seats.I visited the loo - outside - clean and pleasant.When I returned to the table, we were asked for our order - they saw me return from the loo!! Not had chance to have a look at menu choice.The female member came back short time later (still not had chance to choose!) I decided on toastie in a rush.Would of preferred a little more time (with family & child too)Loved the interior - chocolate box & beautiful.Took some piccies for you to have a look!Wifi was locked & no literature of a code to input whilst waiting for lunch (to keep child busy) - good idea I wish to pass on re the wifi (a plus for customers!)Kids lunch box - my child would of preferred a choice of snack like crisps/drink like small bottle of water not concentrate Apple juice. No fruit in boxes - another helpful idea! Please don't see my review as negative.

On Sunday 20th September I visited this establishment with my partner & her father, who uses a mobility scooter, having passed numerous other lovely-looking tearooms, preferring the easy access offered by the entrance to their garden. We had only just sat down when a lady asked if we were ready to order. As we hadn't had a chance to read through the extensive menu we asked if she could return. It was no more than a couple of minutes before she returned and asked politely but slightly abruptly if we were ready to order. We each ordered a beverage and something sweet to eat. One lovely warm scone followed but was almost finished and cold by the time the beverages were brought, with an apology it must be said, that they were not brought at the same time by a lovely young waitress. I located some sugar inside the tearoom as none had been brought to us. After a considerable wait my partner also had to enter the tearoom to politely enquire of the original waitress we had placed our order with about the coffee cake and tea cake that was still outstanding as we'd nearly finished the tea we'd been brought. A coffee cake followed shortly after with the explanation it had been sat on the counter waiting for the scone that had been served some considerable time ago before the beverages. On enquiring after the tea cake we were curtly told "we hadn't ordered one" even though it had been mentioned a 2nd time when the food had had to be chased up, and "did we now want one then?". One followed shortly thereafter and was very nice, but somewhat dry in that by then there was no tea left to enjoy with it. Other parties could be heard to be complaining at the time their orders were taking, which seemed strange in that whilst it was busy, not all tables were taken. We would certainly not return or recommend, not because of the food, or even the time it took to get same, but mainly because of the sour attitude of one member of staff who could do with some training in how to treat customers.

This is a pleasant tea rooms, serving good snacks. We had panini and sandwiches, all were tasty and presented well. There was some confusion aver the soft drinks. The menu implies that these are home made, but they are bought in from a local company. One of the drinks on the menu had the wrong fruit on the menu (something with gooseberry), but it did taste nice anyway! The hot chocolate was too weak for me, but the coffee was fine.

We dropped by this tea room, as it looked bright and airy, and it had clearly free tables (many of the adjoining tea houses were busy) and a garden in the sunshine.We had two cream teas -a choice of a plain or fruit scone with clotted cream, strawberry jam and a pot of tea. The scone was warm and fresh, and tasty. Total £10.50 plus tip.However, the service was limited & rather unfriendly! The lady at the till and who cleared the tables made no eye contact and looked distinctly sour as we left... rather a shame!

Nice food and good service but spoiled by constant nuisance of flies around the tables and food. Prices a little on the high side.

The courtyard looked lovely in the sunshine however the food was disappointing to say the least. We ordered rare roast beef sandwiches with rocket and horseradish and were looking forward to a tasty treat, sadly it was not the be. The bread was fresh and thick and that was about it. The tempting rare roast beef was beyond well done and there was one tiny slice in each of our sandwiches and about 4 pieces of rocket. NO-one asked us if our food was ok while we dined and when I went to pay they did not ask either, just handed me bill for £24.50 for 3 rounds of pretty much empty sandwiches, a cup of tea, a lemonade and a glass of water - bargain, NOT.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cream tea in the garden! A lovely setting in the garden, great (fast) service with a smile and delicious scones and clotted cream. This is a great little place to drop into for a breather while driving through the country, as we were yesterday.

Light , airy and modern interior. Good choice of food and pleasant staff. Thank you. Much better than nearby alternative-see other review.

Agreed we did call late one afternoon when they were clearing up and agreed we did not complain during the meal but I have never eaten or tried to eat such a shockingly tough piece of roast beef on a ciabatta.I took one bite and tried to bite through it but couldn'tI commented on it ,and my friends although not wanting to complain, said theirs was tough too.We remarked on the quality when settling but we're just curtly told "£22 please" which for four cups of tea and piece of tough meat I eventually managed to cut up and give the dog was not good value.I shan't be visiting here again!

We were on a coach trip and stopped at Stow-on-the-Wold; we were there for 90 mins and thought we would get something to eat. Looked at a few pubs that were busy and found the Cotswold Tearooms. It look like a small shop but inside we found a nice tearoom we ordered our tea and sandwiches these were delivered food was really good and made well we waited. We had expected to pay about £10 for Tea and a sandwich but the cost was about £6 great value.

We visited Stow on a busy Sunday afternoon and decided to have a coffee here as it was the only tearooms that wasn't packed out. From the exterior the tea rooms don't look very inviting but inside there was a nice open fire. Although the coffees were fine, there was nothing else that would make me want to make a return visit. The food menu was uninspiring and the tatty menus and plain crockery gave the place an unloved feel. Having said that I can imagine the courtyard garden would be a nice place to sit in during the summer.

Visiting Stow on the Wold it was inevitable that we had to have a bite to eat and this restaurant looked like it would fit the olde world charm of the town on what was a lovely day.walking in from the street, it was pretty dark and actually uninviting so we walked through to the Garden Terrace which was reasonable though nothing special.Not too busy (indoors had a couple of tables occupied and outdoors had three - all of which were already eating) so we were a bit surprised to find that we had a 15 minute wait for our tea, one ham salad sandwich and two cream teas "as they were very busy". At least we were advised of the wait.The menu was uninspiring. A laminated typed sheet attached to a piece of wood with a bulldog clip probably set off the haphazard feel to the place,Tea arrived after about 5 minutes with the crockery appearing to be a mish mash of charity shop items and by the time we received our food, we had to ask for some more hot water to enable us to drink along with the food.Fair to say, the sandwich (an extra plate being provided when the waitress realised my wife and I were sharing) was lovely although presentation could have been better. The Scones were a good size, warm and inviting and very tasty.The staff were less than inviting in my opinion, treating the interaction with the customers as simply the job. No chat, few smiles and anything but welcoming. A real disappointment for what could, and should, be a tearoom which would make you want to return.

Walking through the pretty town of stow on the wold you are not short of places to enjoy a cream tea. We chose an off high street cafe, the cotswold garden. Quite aptly named, you can eat in the cafe itself or ouside in the courtyard garden, as well as light lunches and a great c hoice of sweet and savoury snacks they do a great cream tea. The garden is a little break from the quite b u sy streets and tourists pouring in and out of quaint shops. The teas were served in proper pots and China cups. The scones, clotted cream and jam were super and no wasps. Our fellow diners were visiting japanese and american tourists who were ravingabout the englishness. I saw their point, great tea and scones beautifully served in great surroundings, vine tomatoes geraniums and other flowers alk added to a good experience.

I really wanted a lovely cream tea and thought this was the place to go. The service was ok, the tea was ok and the scone was ok but none of it was really special unfortunately. I would have liked proper china tea cups for my cream tea. Next time I am in Stow I will choose one of the other lovely tea shops and hope it will be a bit more special.

We stopped to visit Stow-on-the-Wold on our way home. Needing a much needed cuppa we thought this looked an attractive place with a pleasant courtyard to sit out in. We ordered a cream tea although the scone and tea tasted good l was a bit put off by the teapot. l did not notice at first as my sister had poured but later l saw the inside of the spout brown with tannin. l then looked inside and to my dismay was also brown as someone who has worked in the catering industry l find this unacceptable. l quietly mentioned this to the waitress At the checkout l was asked if everything was ok l said no and had the waitress not mentioned the teapot? l explained about it and they made no apology and settled the bill.

We have been here a few times when we have visited Stow on the Wold, we make a point of popping in for a drink. In fact it isn't so much the nice coffee here that does it, it is the small choice of fantastic homemade cakes. The cakes here are really good, much better and tastier than the mass produced stuff you get at somewhere like a Starbuck's or Costa. The place itself is nothing special inside, just a small, old fashioned style cafe/tearoom.

We called in here on a recent visit to Stow. It was about late morning and the place was quite empty. We sat at a table very near the till and were greeted with a "hello" and "I'll be with you in a minute" - it was actually nearer 5 minutes!! Did we feel valued? Not really! We ordered bacon sandwiches and cokes. The bacon sandwiches when they arrived were delicious, nice fresh bread and plenty of bacon, well cooked. The 4 star rating is for the food, if judging this overall, the rating would probably only be "average"

The staff could not have been nicer and the food was very good. The puddly was allowed to join us. Service was quick. Will return!

Lovely little tea rooms, exactly what we wanted after a 7 mile walk around the outskirts of Stow. Really nice and polite staff, beautiful warm scones with cream and jam - highly recommended.

Stopped in for a spot of lunch whilst staying nearby in Lower Swell. Good lunchtime menu including Sandwiches (Brie and Bacon baguette was good) Jacket Potatoes, Paninis and home-made cakes.Friendly service & Wi-Fi

Friendly and welcoming staff who were efficient at serving, dog friendly, big garden area for the warmer weather, nice atmosphere, big cake portions!

Lovely food, slightly pricey but what you'd expect in the Cotswolds and so worth it! hot chocolate was delicious.Staff friendly.

Brought our dog into the garden seating area of the tea room and had no trouble from anyone. In fact, the staff were very friendly. The outside seating area is considerably more scenic, with the sun hitting you as you nibble on cakes and sip on cream tea, which was equally as lovely. The brie and chilli panini is to die for. Best quality brie from a top quality tea room. Will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Cotswold Garden Tea rooms, we were made very welcome with our dog on a wet and windy day. We will certainly visit again and thoroughly recommend it.

A clean, warm cafe with an efficient waitress who had rather an abrupt, unwelcoming manner. At around 3pm on Thursday afternoon there were no panninis or baguettes. The sandwiches we had were nicely presented with crisps and a small salad, but sadly the bread was rather dry and tired.

Set in a beautiful village a perfectly homely teas room. A gorgeous log fire, friendly staff, good tea and wonderful cakes. What more could you ask for - a perfect end to a perfect visit to the area.

Stopped in for some afternoon tea. Loved the little courtyard. Tea and scones were great, just what we needed for an afternoon break.

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at this charming B&B and cotswolds tea house. We had a fabulous time, staff could not do enough, food was great and the room was stunning with a massive bed. We are planning our return already. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.
