Lovely pub/hotel with great food and a good selection of beers and spirits. Our room (8) was spacious, well furnished with a very comfortable king size bed and a modern drench shower. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful / highly recommended!

Get the Junior suite. They were great although a little quirky. However....it is a very old building and that "old feel" is to be expected. We stayed three nights and the food and service was fantastic!

A very enjoyable stay.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very good value and the quality of the Mel was very good. The facilities within the room by way of bottled water, tea and coffee were very good and well set out. The water pressure for the shower was good and the bathroom large.

A cute little hotel is a small charming town. There is a parking area right in front of the hotel. So this is very convenient because most likely you will need to take a car to explore to the Cotswold area.

A quaint hotel. It was very quiet, not sure if that was because of the bank holiday. The pub and restaurant were great and check in was quick and friendly. The room was very small and unfortunately, our view was the dumpster for the kitchen. We met a few locals while having a pint. Overall a great place!
