The Royalist Hotel in the beautiful Cotswolds town of Stow-on-the-Wold is certified as the oldest inn in England; dating from 947AD, this handsome Grade II listed Cotswold stone inn is also one of the country’s most famous and instantly recognisable hotels. It has recently undergone a sympathetic refurbishment that has successfully retained all of the character and old world charm that makes The Royalist Hotel such an outstanding and interesting place to stay. Full of historical intrigue and blending traditional furnishings with modern comforts, The Royalist Hotel in Stow-on-the-Wold is a hotel, a restaurant and an inn and is the ideal place from which to explore the enchanting surroundings of The Cotswolds.
The Cotswolds have been described as England’s back garden, such is the rural charm of the area. The gentle green rolling hills, characteristic villages hewn from honey-coloured stone and an air of quintessential Englishness are just some of the reasons why this quaint region is such a magnet for tourists. The Cotswolds can be reached easily via the motorway network of the UK, and the gentle pace and idyllic tranquillity are the perfect ingredients for a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Stow-on-the-Wold is typical of many Cotswold towns; its delightful picture postcard buildings are characteristic of the area, with locally quarried Cotswold limestone used for much of the construction. The Royalist Hotel has nestled in the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold since 947AD, and has changed little on the outside for centuries. It is a timeless classic, and with new management at the helm, The Royalist Hotel looks set to continue in its role as the Grand Old Man of the Cotswolds.
The Royalist Hotel is so called because of the connections of Stow-on-the-Wold with the English Civil War; the final battle of which made the streets of the town literally run with blood in 1646. It had previously gone under the name of The Eagle and Child (the name used by the inn today) and as a private residence of the Shellard family in the 16 th Century, the name of Porch House was used. After its sympathetic renovation, The Royalist Hotel continues to extend a warm welcome to visitors, with 8 characterful bedrooms, the atmospheric Eagle and Child Inn, and the highly commended 947AD Restaurant.
