The Bower House in Stratford-on-Avon

Lovely breakfast but background music is far to loud

Wonderful! We stayed at this hotel and what a lovely surprise. Our room was amazing with a huge beautiful bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable, fruit left for us and a fabulous tray containing drinks with lovely glasses. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated room. We had dinner in the restaurant and just ‘wow’ is all I can describe it as. We had the taster menu paired with wine. It was amazing as was the sommelier giving us information on each wine we had. He was very professional and informative. The dinner was 1st class and the breakfast equally fabulous.

Excellent restaurant - now in the great hands of Chef Leo and Tom. Ambience was excellent and food exceptionally good with all our party of Five having the tasting menu. All persons in the party enjoyed the food and great service.

I went with 2 friends. I had never been before. The environment is inviting enough. I was looking forward to it. The service was nice enough. However the waitresses can be prickly. The food - full English - looked and tasted average. Cost - £20 average per person. Go again? For breakfast, no. Too many better alternatives nearby.

We went for Sunday lunch. The restaurant sits on a corner of a market square and is spacious with lots of window tables. It was quite noisy inside once it got busy and not all of the food really worked for us. Beef tartare with blue cheese, for example, and beetroot salad that just needed more to it. The mains (cod and pork roast) had good flavours but the plates and the food were cold which was a shame. The highlight was the tarte tatin which was thin and delicate and really quite the treat. Service ok. Four stars.

This really is a gem of a restaurant. We opted for the set lunch, which included a glass of house wine. There were a couple of options for each course, but neither of us could resist the beautiful Cornish mackerel dish with buttermilk sauce as a starter. This was preceded by bread and a quenelle of butter each, and as I’m gluten intolerant mine came as a tiny warm gluten free seeded loaf. Delicious. We opted for different dishes for the main course, Cornish hake with a seaweed beurre blanc and confit duck leg with hen of the wood, celeriac, black garlic and kale. We decided to share a portion of tripe cooked chips. Both dishes were so tasty, and we cleared our plates. My husband’s dessert was a choux bun filled with a white chocolate and rhubarb filling, while I opted for a coffee, which was accompanied by a gluten free lemon cannoli. We felt the set lunch was excellent value for the standard of food, cooking and friendly service. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the next iteration of the set lunch - although the a la carte and tasting menus also looked delicious.

Yes, all right, I admit it - I'm a bit of a Bower House groupie. It's one of those restaurants that reassures you that all is well in the world, even when it patently isn't. I returned for lunch with my old friend and mentor BP, knowing that the team cooking our lunch was new. That's always a moment of anxiety for those of us who crave continuity. 'New' can mean 'disappointing'. I needn't have worried. We had the usual brilliantly personal welcome from the front-of-house team. They made us feel like old friends but without the 'old'. Then menus arrived and the daily set menu - three courses plus a glass of wine - was just brilliant. This was a meal to savour - exciting food eaten in a familiar setting with a great friend. It couldn't have been more enjoyable. And the fact that the chef comes to the table to serve some dishes is a sign of how the Bower House values its clientele, a direct connection between those who cook our food and those who - joyfully! - eat it. To all of you working there: well done. To all of you who haven't yet visited: go! You're in for a treat.

We already loved the Bower House, but wow! The precision of the new menu in Leo's hands is wonderful. Thank you BH for being such a great local asset to Shipston. Paul - see you soon!!!

Was our privilege to eat at the Bower, gorgeous village setting and a very warm welcome on entrance. Cosy and Quirky. Had the Scallop Ravioli to start which was amazing, so dam tasty so much so I wanted to lick the dish out!! Lol. The roast Beef and my partner had the Belly Pork, both cooked perfectly to our taste with fantastic Yorkshire Puds and the Veg were gorg and the Cauliflower Cheese was so freshly made. In all the food, service and venue was a delight and will be booking a room for my partners birthday to soak up the calm village life with the joy of the Bower.Finally all the staff seemed so happy in their work and were praising the head Chef. Praise to him from us. Thank you Bower.

Great room, amazing food and really friendly staff. This place has a great vibe.

We have enjoyed eating here, each week for nearly two years. The fixed price lunch is exceptional value given the very high quality of the cooking with subtle flavours. This is a hidden gem at the gateway to the North Cotswolds. Sheepstown or Shipston on Stour with individual shops and Free Parking! What’s not to like. The cooking beats all the foodie pubs in the Cotswolds.

Had a wonderful stay at the Bower house , wonderful service , beautiful room , excellent breakfast ! We will definitely return Thank you

We had a lovely stay and meal at The Bower House. Staying in the rooftop room, it was spacious and stylishly decorated with interior touches which suited the character and style of the building. The facilities were great and restaurant delivered on fantastic food at fair prices given the high quality. The scallop ravioli starter was particularly memorable. Staff also very kindly posted back my partners jacket when he left it behind! Very pleased overall and would recommend for a lovely stay and dining experience

Great atmosphere and service! Will be my first choice for drinks in the future🍸

Situated in the centre of Shipston, lots of free 2 hour parking in roads in the area, looks v smart from outside and inside, v friendly meet and greet, menu as listed online, we ate pate, cod in black garlic, bouillabaisse, followed by crumble. All v well presented, v tasty, large portions of staters and pud but sadly we thought the mains were a little measly, certainly not enough fish in the bouillabaisse. Also the restaurant was not very warm inside. So overall v good food but not sure we would revisit

Unser Abendessen war super! Das Essen war unglaublich lecker! Freue mich auf das nächste Besuch. We had such delicious food. Great choice of starters, mains and desserts :) Can‘t wait to eat here again. Food, service, ambiance 10 out of 10. Thank you team Bower House.

One of favourite local restaurants really good for breakfast lunch or supper. Food always imaginative & well prepared. Nice little cocktail bar too & the rooms are outstanding at c£120 inc breakfast. The perfect gateway to The Cotswolds!

Oh my goodness! I don’t have a trip advisor account but I have logged on to give a review of this incredible hotel! Best in cotswolds. We are staying in the blue room and it has everything a family needs, comfortable beds (even the little pull out beds) complimentary homemade cookies and fruit, gorgeous tea bags and milk from local dairy farm. Wonderful and helpful staff. Tv with all channels, amazing location. Roll top bath, double me vanity sink. Really Hot water and incredible decor. This hotel really has thought of everything . So spacious too!

Attention to detail, Excellent! It's not very often I give a five star review, so this is very well deserved. First of all it's a lovely restaurant, excellent location, nice decor inside and lovely ambient music in the background. Four of us went for Sunday lunch, standard choices, beef, pork and chicken with a veggie option as well. After we had ordered we received freshly baked homemade bread along with salted butter, or a chilli garlic butter(very mild but nice). This was the first USP/attention to detail. The meals arrived not too long afterwards, all beautifully presented, so eating with our eyes before we'd even tasted it. The only negative was the Yorkshire puddings served with 'all' dishes not just the roast beef, seems unatural? But it's a very minor point. All dishes tasted lovely. Finished the meal with coffee and petit fours (which was another nice touch). On visiting the toilets they were clean and tidy with small individual cotton hand towels available to dry your hands, whilst listening to the voice of various Shakespearean actors reading from Shakespear plays ( I had Richard Burton) another lovely touch. So overall an excellent restaurant that is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Keep up the individual 'point of difference' It's how a restaurant should be run. Lovely staff as well by the way.

We love the Bower House, it’s our favourite place for special celebrations. Last night it didn’t disappoint and we had a lovely evening. We always love looking in the pretty windows at the charming restaurant before we walk in the door to a warm welcome from Paul and his staff. The food was great - oysters that tasted of the sea, a delicious rabbit terrine, great steaks and my husband’s Barnsley chop all went down a storm. But while my husband and friend waxed lyrical about their pistachio cake and ice cream I was in a quiet place of unctuous delight eating the chocolate and cherry mousse with buttermilk ice cream and a sharp cherry drizzle. I have to tell you it was perfect!

Fantastic food and drinks- worth every penny Started with delicious cocktails, complimentary bread roles, Devine welsh rarebit as a starter, fish for mains perfectly cooked and beautifully light desserts- washed down with an excellent bittle of Sicilian white! Service excellent- not rushed and able to take our time between courses. Best in shipston we found and best meal out ive had in years

I popped in with my husband and two children today for a coffee during the food market. I don’t know if it’s because I had children with me so I wasn’t the right clientele for them but the service was appalling. I understand they were busy, but I’ve never felt more unwelcome for a coffee in my life. They had no manners what so ever. We weren’t allowed to view the menu because it was too busy so they were not serving anymore customers. That’s fine but be polite about it! I asked about caramel syrup and from behind me at the bar I got a ride ‘no, we only have hazelnut!’ My coffee was so hot it scalded my tongue and made it a very unpleasant drink, which I felt I need to speed up with because I just wanted to leave I’d been made to feel like an inconvenience. I saw a group of 3 come in who also asked for coffee. They were offered any table in the entrance, none of which had been cleaned and rudely told there was a wait. After 5 mins of being ignored they left. Upon paying the bill which I felt like I should have refused to pay for the coffee. I told the barman about my experience. He just said ‘I apologise and turned to the next customer’ Again, it many have been busy but a bit of polite customer service can forgive any wait in my opinion. It’s the rudeness that was so appalling. I won’t be going back or recommending this place to anyone. It’s over priced and pretentious.

We live local but for some reason have never been to The Bower House, we booked for Sunday lunch yesterday, it was excellent! We had a roast dinner with all the trimmings, totally delicious! Dessert of burnt Basque cheesecake was also divine. The staff were friendly, switched on and professional . I can highly recommend.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here. We had the fixed price menu which was very good value. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Nicely fitted out restaurant with a good atmosphere. We were surprised that it was so quiet as the food was excellent.

Our first visit, but we can't wait to return. We loved the stylish decor and the efficient and friendly staff. But most of all the delicious food which was so perfectly seasoned, cooked to our preference with sensible portions. The cocktails accompanied the food perfectly. Such a treat.

I've been to the Bower House a few times over the years. Set in a beautiful market town it's a venue that we might think of as timeless. In reality, it's continually reinvented itself according to customers' changing needs. That's what I saw again today. This August midweek, we had a lunch - two old friends, at a familiar table, looking out over the town square - and it was clearly on very good form. The service was charming and welcoming; the food very good indeed. There's a set price daily lunch menu for £22 for two courses, £29 for three, and that's what I chose. It includes a glass of house wine. My meal was a starter of fish cakes with a zingy Asian salad; a pork chop with chilli and satay sauce; and a revelatory dessert that involved coconut, lime and pineapple sorbet. It was fabulous. The style of the place is unpretentious, done with great style, and attentive to its customers. There's a delicatessen attached which is similarly impressive. So, yes, it was great to be back at the Bower House. You set from the street into a little oasis of luxury, and it was just what was needed today.

We rented 2 rooms: Superior King Room(on second floor)-huge room and massive bathroom with large walk-in shower, bath, large dual vanities, make-up table. King bed with lovely linen, air conditioner and fan. Cosy Room(on first floor)- good size-not exactly small, also with a very large bathroom, has fan but no AC. Both beds had double UK and 2 x USB plugs either side. Welcome tray of fresh fruit and small bottles of gin, whiskey and vodka available in each room (not free) and Nespresso machine. Both rooms had very upmarket decor and the decor in the restaurants is also very nice. Note that the staircase upstairs is narrow so taking up large suitcases would be a struggle. The hotel has a restaurant downstairs that offers breakfasts (very nice-not included in our room rate) and dinner, there’s not much else in the village except a couple of pubs but Stratford Upon Avon is a 20 min drive away with a huge choice of restaurants.

We stayed in room five, which has a beautiful king-size bed and a roll top bath, lots of towels, and fruit to welcome us. We knew beforehand that the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and so were aware there would be no food which wasn’t a problem. Shipton on Stour is a very tiny village, but luckily there is a co-op where one can buy breakfast. Might be worth noting that there are two very steep flights of stairs, so we had to leave our bags in the car, and the room had the noisiest extractor fan and huge dehumidifier machine going. Obviously, as it’s in the attic, it must get very hot but these were so noisy it would be impossible to sleep, so we had to unplug them. They were also extremely unsightly, but I suppose there is no choice. To be honest we were quite surprised by the smell in the room on arrival, which was stale cigarette smoke. There also seemed to be an unpleasant smell from the drains, so maybe the room had been empty recently. We ran the shower and taps and it eventually went. Please be careful if, like us, you look at the welcoming drinks tray and presume the wine is for you. It was a small bottle which luckily we didn’t open because it was £40. The mini bottles of gin and whiskey on the welcome tray were £15 each. Luckily the two cookies in the jar were for us, as was the filled bottle of tap water! As I said, the room itself was lovely and comfortable, but at £130 per night I wouldn’t rate it is the five stars it gives itself.

A really nice restaurant with friendly staff. Have been here a number of times before with no complaints. Food wise very good but their recently introduced summer menu (particularly on a Sunday) is a little uninspiring. Rather than their normal Sunday lunch offerings namely roast beef , roast pork etc with all the trimmings they have moved to steaks and BBQ. Surprisingly they still have roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings available but with a steak….not really! Heard a number of negative comments from other diners when we were there so hopefully the restaurant will quickly pick up on this and revert to their standard offerings. If they don’t I will not be returning anytime soon which will be a shame. Pricewise with they way they are pricing at the moment I.e. steaks are a stand alone price and extras are literally priced on top this proved to be quite an expensive family Sunday lunch.

Visiting from New Zealand, we were lucky to come across this elegant restaurant in the Cotswold village of Shipston on Stour. We were to meet family for a long-planned reunion lunch, and the ambiance was perfect. Lovely food in a gorgeous setting- I would not have expected this in a little English village. The waitstaff were also great. Many thanks, I hope to return one day.

I went for dinner at the Bower House with a big group of friends and we tried (almost!) everything on the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were great, and service was very polite and accommodating. We asked Giuseppe (the GM) to pick a wine for us which was fantastic. Oh and to top it off we finished with the chefs own brownies. Wow! Highly recommend going for the food & cosy vibe - so good I came back for brunch with my boyfriend the next day.

The six of us celebrated our friends 30th birthday here and absolutely loved it. Great steak, oysters and salmon. Loved the atmosphere and the manager, Paul, was friendly and up for a laugh. He made the experience very special. Would go here again to celebrate an occasion! Jess

Took my partner here for a special birthday breakfast, we had the worst breakfast ever.. The service was terrible, we had to wait 40 minutes and then they got the order completely wrong. Walked out in disgust

Great service here in a lovely setting. The cocktails are nice and food was very tasty. It is a little pricier than other places but definitely worth visiting.

The room was gorgeous and the food delicious, but most importantly each and every member of staff was absolutely lovely.

The food was fantastic and very well executed. This was sadly let down by the service. We ordered cocktails and nuts to enjoy as an aperitif, these arrived after the bread and seconds later the starters arrived. We therefore couldn’t enjoy our pre dinner drinks...

We had a Chateaubriand special between the two of us. Lovely unfussy meal. The steak was superbly cooked and served with a great sauce.

A disappointing visit today. warm coffee not hot.cakes not up to scratch.i visited last year for lunch it was great.maybe a off day.

We visited The Bower House on Saturday evening, and it was one of the few meals we have had out since the beginning of the various Covid related lockdowns. We were really impressed with all the measures that had been put in place to make us feel safe, yet these measure were not intrusive so it made us feel we were on a blissful 'normal' evening out. I have several allergies which staff were very happy to accommodate and made me feel confident about the food I was ordering. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service attentive and friendly, and the food delicious.

Tercera vez aquí en los últimos meses desde que se mudó a Shipston.Cada vez hemos encontrado al personal amable, atento y servicial.La comida de excelente elección y calidad bien presentada y abundantes porciones.Si le gusta cenar bien en un ambiente relajado, este es el lugar

Todo el personal muy atento y amable. La comida era excelente, comí parfait de hígado de pollo para empezar, era el mejor que había probado. Luego pescado del día, solla, muy sabroso.Las precauciones de COVID fueron de primera clase, mesas bien espaciadas cada una con su propio desinfectante de manos. La higiene siempre ha sido una prioridad para mí ya que tengo problemas de salud.El único restaurante donde me siento totalmente relajado y seguro.Dirigido muy profesionalmente con excelente comida, ¿qué más se puede pedir?

Teníamos amigos que venían de Londres y reservamos una mesa para la víspera del sábado. Les gustó el aspecto y mantenerlo local significaba menos conducción. Somos veganos, nuestros amigos no, parecía que había un par de opciones veganas en el menú, una hamburguesa más allá de la carne (15) y Remolacha Orzo, (16) ok, no muy excitable, pero era para nuestros amigos.Ambiente agradable y como la decoración artística, el gerente de la manguera se reunió con nosotros, esperaba que el chef pudiera empujar el barco hacia la cocina vegana, ¡no hay posibilidad!La sopa era buena, la comida era muy normal, el bistec de nuestros amigos estaba bien, pero el bacalao medía aproximadamente 2 x 3 pulgadas, (21) tuvimos que prepararle bocadillos y tostadas tan pronto como llegamos a casa.El único vino tinto francés era un Borgoña y era tan pobre para 50 que no había Bordeaux a la vista. El personal parecía asustado por Covid, en general, una noche muy decepcionante.

Excelente servicio y buena comida.En estos tiempos seguros actuales de COVID, Bower House era una forma extremadamente placentera de pasar un par de horas durante el almuerzo. La calidad del servicio y la comida no siempre es un hecho, por lo que, por primera vez, fue perfecto. Definitivamente regresaré. Gracias.

Esta es la segunda vez que cenamos aquí y definitivamente volveremos cuando estemos en la zona. En primer lugar, la comida es increíble. ¡Que mas puedo decir! La atmósfera y el ambiente son encantadores y agradables. Gracias a Paul por tomarse la molestia de darnos la bienvenida y una mención especial a Grace, quien nos cuidó. Tuvimos una charla encantadora con ella y ella no pudo hacer lo suficiente para asegurarse de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos. Este es un lugar maravilloso para cenar y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

En primer lugar, los cócteles son increíbles y mi favorito es el Bower sour, la comida tiene una variedad de gustos y sabores excelentes para tentar cualquier paladar, hemos tenido una noche fantástica, el servicio fue de 2 a ninguno gracias a Mina Y Paul por cuidarnos.

My wife and I had a meal here, nice atmosphere, good food and very friendly to gluten free coeliac diners. Would recommend.
