The best restaurants in Beacon-Stow Cotswold South West

We stumbled across the old bakery tearoom on a visit to the Cotswolds, well the food was amazing...so fresh & full of flavour and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning

Coffee and a cheeky pastry or two all served with a smile . Then I get some fresh bread and groceries to keep the boss at home happy . What Pastries !!!

Alfonso Gelateria was the finest gelato that I’ve ever tasted! My husband and I had just come from traveling through Italy and never found authentic gelato like we found in the heart of the Cotswolds at Alphonso’s. I had read a lot about gelato and what makes it authentic, how it is to be stored to retain the best flavors and texture and the ingredients that go into it. Alfonso’s was excellent and every category. I rarely eat any desserts, but this was worth having an every way! Thank you for doing your gelato in a traditional and pure way. You will really be missing out if you don’t stop by this gelateria in Stow in the Wold!!!!

The Hive is absolutely adorable. Best cafe I've ever been to. We visited for lunch as part of our holiday in The Cotswolds. From start to finish it went beyond our expectations. We were warmly welcomed in by the owner. What a lovely lady!! We had the homemade soup of pea, courgette and lettuce with a homebaked cheese scone. Absolutely delicious!!! Seems strange to have soup in August but it was just what we needed. The cheese scone was divine!! Had a really lovely latte and my husband had tea. The decor was really welcoming and comforting too. All the staff were very attentive and helpful and it was very evident how well it was being managed by the owner. Definitely a must if you want some lunch in Stow on The Wold.

Customer service was spot on and very efficient, baguettes were VERY reasonably priced for such a prime location, thank you

Procured a few divine looking cakes with crazy brother, and saw the last remaining quiche… O WOW! Quiche? It’s quiche ? Probably, no certainly the best quiche I’ve ever consumed. The balance, the texture, the flavour… quite amazing. Thank you

I couldn't believe the size of the croissants andU pain au chocolat, they were huge! They tasted amazing. Flakey pastry on the outside and soft in the middle. I've never tasted croissants as good and believe me I've tried a few!

We look forward to their coffee every day when we visit from New York, USA.

Wonderful coffee and really good service.

Nice change from Italian or British pub food. Nice selection of traditional Greek dishes. What we had was tasty. Nice cosy atmosphere

We have been to the restaurant on many occasions and the food is excellent and the staff are always welcoming and friendly.

Amazing little find. Lovely lady essentially cooking you up a full breakfast in her own kitchen! Not too many tables, cute decor and 100% effort.

Stopped in for a late lunch today and what a lovely find! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be visiting again.

We stayed in the Horse&Groom for a brief weekend and enjoyed every moment! Went for a short holiday with family in the Cotswold district and was delighted to find this gem! our rooms were clean and tidy and equipped with a coffee machine and a great shower, even got a very generous welcome basket with treats! staff were friendly and welcoming and helped with every request or question. no complaints at all! would like to come back once we’re in the area :)

We really enjoyed our two day break at this very charming and well run hotel set in this lovely small town. Upon arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Amanda and directed to our room. Located on the top floor the view of the square was most pleasant although the final few steep stairs might be a challenge for some. The room itself was cosy, spotless, had a very nice bathroom (excellent shower) and a very comfortable bed which made for very restful sleep. The only minor criticism (according to my wife) is that there was no seated vanity/dressing table with a mirror although there was a very comfy sofa for relaxing and watching TV should you so wish. We were fortunate enough to have excellent weather meaning we could enjoy the rear private beer garden. I can imagine that with the plentiful seating areas, heaters and greenery it will be very atmospheric of a long summer evening. Charlie was excellent at the bar, was very friendly and looked after us admirably. Likewise Justine was equally as attentive, charming and fun when looking after us at both dinner and breakfast. The evening menu is limited (by design for quality) and we thoroughly enjoyed the Chatheaubriand! Breakfast was excellent too! The modern cocktail bar offers a very pleasant area to enjoy pre dinner drinks and watch passers by in the square. In summary, it is of no surprise that the hotel has such good reviews and it is our pleasure to add to those. The hotel is well run, very pleasant and the staff are not only very friendly but make you feel welcome and wanted. We will be back.
