Clean , unusual quality furniture beds good size room. The here was a choice at breubut slightly misleading you had to pay for cooked. As this a very old building wouldn't be for those who have trouble with stairs or unsteady on feet. Staff all really lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Would stay again

I took my partner on a last minute night away for his birthday. We had a room and had dinner in the restaurant which was divine. The bed was very comfortable and they had all toiletries including shampoo and conditioner. We both really enjoyed our stay and my partner said it was the best night sleep he has had in a long time.

This was an excellent choice. One never knows when booking just what one will find. But the Lamb Inn has been superb in every way. It is very well run by a small staff who were welcoming and friendly. The building is beautiful as is its position and our room was just great. Both nights we ate in the restaurant which was packed by a mixture of locals and visitors and the food was good The included breakfast was of the continental variety although one could order cooked breakfasts at an additional cost. The provided breakfast was fine although some cheese would have been pleasant I have only one gripe which is daft really but the shower base was very smooth and slippery and all one had to do was be aware Overall full marks for The Lamb Inn, Shioton under Wychwood It’s position roughly equi distant from Burford and Chipping Norton makes it an ideal base to discover the delights of the Cotswolds

Very nice old country pub, quaint, charming. Pub was nice, lots of locals. Wood fires were good. Walls are a little thin so we could hear noise and music from the bar ( but that shut down by 10:45). Rooms at the other end could have been offered as quieter. We had the included cold breakfast which was fine. Hot breakfast looked good.

A great menu and delicious local ingredients served by friendly staff. Cosy bar/dining area, and stayed very comfortable room in adjoining building. Wine list extensive, if on the expensive side. Its a lovely village and great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

When we arrived we checked into room 2 at no point was we made aware how noisy this room was. as it is above the busy restaurant. By 9pm we had had enough of the noise and asked to move to a different room ? We then move to room 7 which was a lot smaller than the room we booked a big downgrade in the morning the water was too cold to have a wash or shower ? Also the fire alarm was activated on three different occasions waking us up each time on the first time I called down to reception and asked what was going on. Do we need to evacuate the hotel? I was told no it is an issue with the fire alarm in the bar, I said to the lady are you aware of the fire process and you need to make all residents aware that this is a thoughts activation? I suggest you knock on every door and tell them which she did they should not need me to tell your staff the process for a fire alarm? I would suggest some training

Beautiful, warm hotel. Friendly staff.

The hotel itself was beautiful, the staff were warm and welcoming. We stayed on a Wednesday which is steak night so if you want a meal there make sure you book first as it was very busy. It was also a bit pricey .Went for a lovely Country walk for an hour or so around the area till it got dark. Only down side was breakfast. I only book a hotel where breakfast is included but here you only have cold breakfast (which was ok & good choice) but if you want hot food or a good old fry up, you have to pay extra. When I asked how much extra they said it depends on what you want. I feel this should have been made clear when booking. It was misleading! Only other down side was we were in room 1 and we could hear the hand dryers in the toilets below us constantly till late in the evening but not that much of a big deal.

An amazing stay at the Lamb Inn

Staff very friendly and welcoming. There was a fault with the fire alarm on our first night that woke us at 1am and we had to evacuate but the staff were so apologietic for the issue and provided amazing service.

The room was extremely compact but was fine for an overnight stay. The Lamb Inn was a lovely spot for dinner and the breakfast was fabulous. A lovely quiet location with nice walks nearby.
