Every building has a story, and here at The Sheep on Sheep Street, ours has been growing for centuries.
Long before it became The Sheep, this beautiful Cotswold inn was known as The Grapevine Hotel, taking its name from the extraordinary vine that continues to thrive today. Believed to be one of the oldest grapevines in the UK, this remarkable living piece of history has witnessed generations of celebrations, travellers and unforgettable moments.
Now growing proudly outside, our historic grapevine provides a stunning setting beneath our pergola, where guests can enjoy a unique dining experience surrounded by centuries of Cotswold heritage. It's a rare opportunity to relax beneath a vine that has become part of the building's incredible story.
Whether you're joining us for lunch, dinner, handcrafted cocktails or simply a glass of wine in the sunshine, you'll be dining alongside a living legacy that continues to flourish.
Come and discover the history of The Sheep, experience the charm of Stow-on-the-Wold, and make your own memories beneath one of Britain's most remarkable grapevines.
