Davenford Cotswold Gardens in Cotswold

lovely room over a tea shop in the centre of stow, but the rooms are accessed by quite a steep staircase, the only downside was the strong cooking smells from the kitchens

The room was very nice and centrally located in Stow. Breakfast every morning was delicious and very easy. Only complaint is that the shower is extremely small even for the UK. Not necessarily a complaint but something to be aware of. Despite that minor issue everything else was perfect.

What great food. We are fussy and demanding and every dish we have there is of the highest standard , tastes incredible and of sensible quantity too. As long as they keep doing what they’re doing we would say Davenfords are the best breakfast/ brunch place to eat around.

Decided to spend a few days in the cotswolds and Davenford was in the perfect location. The room was perfect more like a boutique hotel with all the little extras

Lovely little place this with lots of positives and a few negatives. On the plus side it’s cozy inside and the outside area is a nice option too. Choice of food looks great and our sandwich meal was yummy. On the downside, we went on a very light weekday and it took quite a while to be served as staff seemed to be off doing other jobs. Quite expensive for what it was. A simple sandwich and a can of Coke was around £13. The toilet which is outside was pretty neglected with paper towels piling up and old toilet roll cardboard on the floor. Great potential this place and we would venture back but they just need to tighten up on a few things to justify the price tags.

Location was good. Breakfast was good but could have more options to choose from. Towels need to be replaced as they looked worn out. Carpets in the room need a good clean or replacement. Otherwise was a pleasant stay here.

We stayed for 2 nights for a wedding. Gorgeous, cosy and huge rooms with everything you could need! Super comfy beds. Breakfast the first day was so delicious! We had too much fun at the wedding and the second morning we were at death’s door. The 2 men running the place were beyond kind and helped us make it through the morning by packing us some croissants to have in peace in our room, and even giving us a berrocca so we could make it to our bus in one piece. They saved our lives and we will be forever grateful. Aside from this, the food is delicious here and the atmosphere is so relaxed and cosy. Would definitely stay again!! Thank you :)

Oh my goodness, the best cream tea I have had in absolutely years. We used to go to a place in Ashdown Forrest (Duddelswell) and when we used to go there, they had scones made by the chefs at Hever Castle. They were scrummy. The place changed hands probably well over 15 years ago and very sad to say it did go downhill a bit. But I have now found my new fav location. I just wish it was a bit nearer our home (Surrey). We tried Huffkins in Stow last year and that was very nice. But Davenford knocks everything out of a cocked hat. The fruit scones were served warm and smelt delicious. They tasted fabulous too. They were very soft. The tea and coffee was great too. We enjoyed it soooo much we went back the very next day, and it was exactly the same. We only tried the scones and tea and coffee, but other things looked good too. I swear if we hadn’t been coming home the next day we would’ve been back again. I cannot praise this enough. If you get the chance, try it out. But please do not pack out the place if we want another visit, I would be desperately unhappy if I wasn’t able to get my beautiful scone fix. Well done Davenford, keep it up and be warned, we will be back as soon as we can holiday in this area again. Loved it.

Delicious breakfast, clean, comfortable room with perfect central location on Stow on the Wold. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved our weekend away. Owners were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. When mentioned that the room was a little cold. Heating was turned up immediately. Perfect place to stay.

We booked for two nights over the Easter weekend, and were given the top room which was lovely (room 5). All of the staff were fantastic, especially the lady who served us breakfast and allowed us to stay a further night to extend our trip as we enjoyed it so much. Breakfast every morning was great, as was the afternoon tea that we were offered.

100 yards off the square we are happy we found this place for a late lunch. Friendly service, nice compact menu. We had sandwiches and soup, the homemade soup had a punchy cumin flavour and a proper thick home made texture, The sourdough for the sandwiches was perfect beautiful bread baked in the same town. We had our dogs with us. Lots of choice in Stow, glad we stumbled up on it.

It is evident in all the little details that the people running this place really care about quality and providing great products with great service. The coffee was very nice and all the food was delicious. Special shout out to the carrot cake. Lovely little touches like the small ‘twist’ of butter that came with the warmed scone. We had ordering envy when the incredible looking bacon and egg sandwich arrived on the table next to us! The smell of baking is delicious and on a cold February day, nice touch to have a real fire crackling away in the corner. Will have to come back in nicer weather and enjoy the garden tables. Keep up the good work!

Great atmosphere , very friendly welcome and the food was good. We ordered very nice lentil soup and quiche and a carrot cake was superb. .

We arrived in the afternoon and were greeted with a lovely big smile from the lady owner and were instantly made to feel special. We were shown to our room which was very quaint and great value for money and then told a Cream tea upon arrival and breakfast the next morning was included. The food we ate was some of the best we’ve had in a long time and together with the nice atmosphere and the service we received from the owners and staff made us feel like we were at home. The next morning after a great nights sleep and a lovely soak in the large bath we went down for breakfast which was again superb. We left the premises an hour later with a smile on our faces and feeling very happy with the way we’d been treated. All in all this place is a superb little gem and the owners and staff have got this place so right in every way. A lot of other similar businesses could take a lead out of the Davenford’s book to improve on their own experience and customer service. This place is the best service we’ve had anywhere in the country for a long time. Thank you for making us feel special

Posto favoloso con un'atmosfera rilassante, magnifico il grande camino Personale giovane gentile e paziente con il nostro inglese non proprio perfetto Prodotti squisiti, consiglio gli scones con la clotted cream Buone anche le proposte salate Bravissimi, un abbraccio dall'Italia

What a great find - we just needed coffee and cake - generous slices of cake - lovely coffee & walnut cake - very cosy tearoom, fast service.

Overall, a good stay, other than the most serious matter of fire safety. It would have been nice to have an option on the time for breakfast, other than be told it was at 9.00am. Very annoying the number of messages, and e mails received after initial booking online. At lease 12 in the space of ca couple of days!

This was a welcoming bed and breakfast above a lovely tearoom. The room and the shower was very clean. The breakfast was good quality and well-presented. the staff friendly. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We selected Davenford Stow Gardens as a base for a stay in the Cotswolds. The team were extremely helpful during the booking process and we received excellent instructions about the check-in process, parking and what to do/where to eat during our stay. Breakfasts were excellent as were the afternoon tea scones which we ended up taking away with us. The room was roomy, clean and very comfortable, and quiet at night even though we were facing the street. A very relaxing stay which we hope to do again.

I stayed for 3 nights and wish I was able to stay longer. The room was excellent, and very interesting. Breakfast and tea were very good, and the staff were great! I will definitely be staying here next time I’m in town.

We loved our stay. Lovely comfortable, spacious room. Beverley and Dane were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast in the lovely ambience of the tea room was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break, and will return.

Warm and cozy room, everything we needed, tea, coffee and water. Really lovely breakfast in the coffee shop below, we had delicious smoked salmon and cream cheese and poached eggs and bacon on sour dough. Beautiful log fire and ambience in the coffee shop, brilliant and friendly service. We also had a complementary cream tea and the carrot cake is out of this world! Would definitely recommend!

Very nice room and lovely and quiet. However I would have liked a little more breakfast rather than just one food option.

We spent the night in this delightful b&b accommodation. Our breakfast was delicious and a nice change from the usual english breakfast offering. In addition, we were offered a cream tea on the house. It was superb! We will be back.

On a cold wet miserable afternoon we stopped for coffee. It’s a small cafe & it was a squeeze to get in, we almost walked away but due to the rain we stopped and sat at a breakfast style bar table. I’m so glad we did… The coffee is gooood & we enjoyed the most moist, delicious carrot cake & a lovely light chewy caramel millionaires shortbread. We gawped in wonder at the lunches that we’re going past us. It all looked so good. Will have to make a special trip back to sample more of their fayre!

Lovely setting and quirky location above a tea shop. Comfy room and enjoyed the cream tea and breakfasts. Felt very welcome and enjoyed the mini break!

Lovely accommodation, delicious breakfast, great location, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

Very tasty savoury and sweet offerings, coffee and tea. Small shop with a few tables, but also features a lovely little courtyard where we ate. Excellent sausage roll. Delicious, moist carrot cake. Known for its Cotswold cream tea (scone with clotted cream and jam). Great...

This small bed and breakfast and cafe is a surprising little place. Great location for walking around Stow. Lovely old building. Spacious and comfortable room with a first class bathroom. Superb breakfast. Friendly staff.

Nice rooms, we stayed in a king room and it was spacious. Great location, literally in centre of town. We did not find it too noisy even though it was on a Main Street. Breakfast lovely, toasted banana bread with fresh butter, fiancé had bacon,...

I don’t understand how anyone gives this place a good rating. The carpets are dirty and stained, the bedding is terrible (I’ve thrown better bedding away), the electrics are out of the ark. The only good thing is that the bathroom is good and the...

It’s a nice spot, lovely courtyard garden. Great well presented coffees and teas . We ordered a cream tea, but not sure why they serve an Essex jam when there is an abundance of local produce which would probably be more flavoursome and eco friendly....

My husband and I found this lovely place when we were exploring Stow on the Wold. We had our 2 dogs with us who were made to feel extremely welcome which was lovely. I had a bacon roll which was delicious and my husband had...

Wonderful welcoming staff. I had a chocolate croissant fresh from the oven with a latte. Beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We have also had the almond croissant and breakfast egg dishes. All perfectly cooked and a pleasure to start the day with!

Looked nice on entry but it annoyed me they don’t take cash- it is legal tender still as far as I know. Sausage rolls look appetising but no taste. Staff can’t even get you cutlery, it’s on a table outside and on a hot day...

Fantastic stay, room large, staff great and breakfast was lovely would highly recommend to anyone for a weekend getaway in the Cotswolds

Stayed the night here in one of their 4 rooms and though quirky features in the room we had a great stay. Breakfast is not what we would normally go for but was of amazing quality. Not sure whether it was the owner who checked...
