The Kings Arms is a charming 500 year old former coaching inn; a Cotswold stone building situated on the corner of Stow-on-the-Wolds historic Market Square and is an ideal starting point for exploring the various attractions that this beautiful area has to offer. This one time coaching inn earned its place in history by providing lodgings for Charles I in 1645. Today everyone receives a warm welcome fit for royalty whether you are popping in for a quick drink enjoying a meal in the restaurant or stopping over for a few nights whilst you explore places to visit in the Cotswolds. Ancient and historic Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest town in the Cotswolds standing 800 feet above sea level. Stow has attracted people settling in the Cotswolds since the Iron Age. Early Cotswold settlers were drawn initially to the adjoining village of Maugersbury but overtime the commercial success of Stow has seen the town establish itself as the pre-eminent town in the Cotswolds. Stow is located at the junction of six roads making it an important and natural meeting place. One of the renowned Cotswold routes meeting in Stow is the famous Roman road The Fosse Way. The centre of Stow has a remarkably large and impressive market square. Markets have regularly taken place in Stow since 1107 when King Henry II granted a charter. Stow has always catered for visitors and travellers. At one time it was said that just about every building on the square was either an Inn or sold refreshment
The Kings Arms boasts 7 en suite rooms in the main building and three cottage rooms in the courtyard site of the old coaching inn stables. All rooms are individually decorated to compliment the age style and locaton of the building all en suite with televisions and tea and coffee making facilities.
The pub which is at the front of the building has many original traditional features where a roaring fire and warm smile awaits. In here the local characters swap tales with travellers over a traditional pint of ale or a mulled wine. The informality of the pub makes for a great atmosphere. Other facilities include include free on site parking and wireless internet access. Our first floor restaurant is perfect for large family or group bookings private hire also available.
