Sitting proud on Stow's central square, this 17th-century inn looks fantastic after a bold makeover that blends period charm (exposed beams, slender staircases) with modern bright-white and hot-turquoise decor. The most affordable rooms are snug attic-style affairs with sloping ceilings, while more lavish 'Great' rooms have claw-foot baths. Besides a restaurant, it also has a nice little coffee shop.
