Food and service from the bar staff good, but the room was very tired, very dusty and dirty around the bedside tables. Only a bath, no standing space for a shower. Bath took over 25 minutes to fill.

Awful

Maybe if you have a meal here, it is passable, but based on our overnight stay I would say “don’t “. Apart from the furniture being old and worn, the room was shocking and the bathroom shameful. A hole in the ceiling,dirty black shower and hose, and hairs in plug hole not to mention the dirt in the corners of the rooms , a broken window, cobwebs everywhere. I’ve never stayed anywhere as poor. The bedding, however, did look clean. I feel sorry for the staff who were very pleasant. Due to an apparent issue with the freezer, many items were off the menu. Serious attention required to justify paying the price.

Comfy bed!

The hotel was absolutely wonderful! A perfect stop along our Cotswolds journey! The staff was super friendly when we checked in and was sure to let us know of timings for food and drinks! We had supper there which was a little above average. Perfect for an easy night. The patio out back was beautiful too! The bed was SUPER comfortable which made for a great night sleep!

I have stayed here on a few occasions and the main reason for coming back is the location. The walks roundabout are simply. beautiful. The hotel itself has some real pluses - it is quirky and full of character. But this does translate in some cases as shabby (threadbare carpet). The breakfast cooked to order is delicious. I love that they offer fresh milk of your choice and not those horrible sachets/pots of UHT milk - nice touch. However, there is not enough light in the rooms and at the moment there is no restaurant in the evening on Monday's and Tuesday's. But the communication is second to none and that is why, despite a few grumbles, I will go back.
