The Kings Arms
Stow on the Wold, Gloucestershire, England.
A landmark of this historic little Cotswold town, The Kings Arms is a Grade II* listed building whose origins are probably early seventeenth century.
Legend has it that King Charles I stayed in the property around the time of the Battle of Naseby in 1645. Indeed, given that it was an inn of some repute in the 18th and 19th centuries, it seems likely that many famous names from English history would have spent time here.
The hotel today offers a total of 11 guest rooms, eight of which are in the main building, and a further three in cottages set around the courtyard. The King’s Arms of Stow also features its own restaurant, and a bar at the front of the building.
Stow-on-the-Wold itself is an ideal location from which to explore the Cotswolds, with towns such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh, and pretty villages such as Lower Slaughter all nearby.
