The staff, location and breakfast was very good. The bed was not comfortable at all. The weather was very hot and the room was not prepared for that. We couldn't open the window as it was a first floor and was noisy outside.
Charming hotel in the center of Cirencester with friendly staff. Rooms are on the small side but have everything you need. Note that there is no A/C but there was a fan in my room that kept things pleasantly cool. There is no lift so rooms may not be accessible for everyone (but they can help you carry your suitcases to the room). The bathroom has lovely amenities (White Linen) but be careful getting into/out of the tub as it can be slippery. Breakfast is available in the dining room with multiple tasty hot options and a nice cold buffet with cereal, juice, yogurt, fruit and pastries. Coffee & tea are also available in the rooms. (I suggest making coffee in your room since the coffee served in the dining room is mediocre; this was really the only negative of the stay). We had dinner one night in the pub/restaurant and it was very good with plentiful vegetarian options.
With the hotel sprawling over three houses of different builds and levels there is plenty of character and to get to our room no.14 meant crossing all three houses and manoeuvring over 25 steps, some up, and then a few down again, but it was great fun, and this reviewer is 80.

Lovely hotel, not very attentive restaurant staff:
Always a pleasure staying at the fleece, from the staff to the rooms to the food and breakfast it’s top class… I’ve stayed at the fleece around 30 times for business and wouldn’t stay anywhere else ***** from me

Had a lovely stay. Everyone looked after us well. Thanks
We were expecting a great experience, as it said it was a five star hotel on Expedia. It definitely did not feel like a 5 star hotel. The check in staff was rude, the sheets & pillows had stains & tears and it was very loud in our room from the restaurant downstairs as well as from other rooms. We would stay elsewhere if we visit Cirencester again.
