The staff are excellent! I had a lovely stay in the Bibury room. Very clean /looked brand new! The food is pub food and very good! One of only two places to stay, here & “the Swan” down the road! The swan being the high end option. Just up the road from the trout farm and would highly recommend the Catherine wheel.

Lovely clean room. Staff are the best! Beautiful pub filled with so many friendly people. Rooms are a little small with one ceiling window so can feel abit dark. But beautiful none the less. Could do with a bigger tv.

Really surprisingly excellent accommodation. Great value for money and superb breakfast all organised fantastically by young (compared to me) Harry. The iconic Bibury Trout Farm and picturesque riverside are just five minutes walk down the hill. Thanks to you all!!

Clean room and bathroom. Told the rooms had suffered flood damage (The Catherine Wheel is on a gently sloping hill!) and rooms have been fully reburbished. The 4 rooms are of varying sizes - room 3 is not that large - compact one might say but is v good order. Bed and bedding was good. Had supper on 2 evenings and was happy with meals chosen - actually they were very good and certainly much better than the evening meal I had in Burford. Breakfast was simple but good and the Full English would taking some eating three days in row - took the option of selecting ia few items from the Full English menu. Car parking can be difficult if Bibury is inundated with tourist and all comers used any spaces available in the car park of the Catherine Wheel - although I was told they were going to look at having. few designated parking spaces for overnight bookings.

What a great night at the Catherine wheel. We met Debbie when we checked in and she was so warm and friendly she made everything very easy for us. The room was clean, modern and very quaint. The food was outstanding in the restaurant with a good menu selection. There were 11 of us for dinner and you could tell everything was fresh and home made the pie was especially incredible. Thank you Catherine wheel we will be back again!!
