Fantastic!

We stayed for 2 nights, the room was spotless, the bed was super comfy, lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom. We had breakfast included in the room rate which was really good. Would definitely stay there again.

How can you not like a place where the rooms are named after animals? If I had a choice I'd have gone for dormouse, owl or stag, but Pheasant was good too. It was cosy, and the bed was comfy. And there was a bookshelf on the landing which was perfect for bookworms like me. I ate in the pub, and had the tastiest bangers and mash that I've had in a long time. Would certainly recommend.

Unacceptably small room

The room was not where we checked in and quite inconvenient to have to walk to a different location. It was unacceptably small. We only had backpacks but if you had a suitcase you couldn’t have fitted it anywhere! The bathroom however was fine.

Should have been a lot better

Sent to off site accomodation 5 min walk from hotel which was unexpected. Entry to this building was through a small private car park /garden area which had full rubbish bags and other scrap fittings like old tv's and other rubbish piled up and the small garden area had litter all around and furniture and a table that was unusable because it was so dirty. The shower in the the room only worked for around 1 minute then the water flow stopped. No blackout blinds fitted so not able to get a decent sleep. Breakfast was fine.

Hotel Closed

We arrived to find the hotel was closed for refurbishment! We booked this in December, drove over 3 hrs and no one thought to let us know! We are 2 pensioners in their 70’s and were left stranded with no accommodation, disgraceful service!!

Staff were lovely. Room was very comfortable. Food was not good and expensive for pub food. Breakfast table had rotten bananas. Toast was soggy (eggs had not been drained). Evening meal was lacking flavour.

Midwinter visit

Beautiful boutique accommodation in one of the Cotswolds prettiest towns. Was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the small rooms were. Perfectly suited for one and would accommodate two comfortably as long as you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room

It was a pleasure to stay. The staff upgraded our room on arrival and gave us a feeling that we were important to them. The room was comfortable and the mini bar was a nice throwbacks touch. Only thing lacking was the shower cap for my wife.

Fabulous

We stayed in a separate building a couple of minutes walk from the main building which wasnt a problem once we found if and the room was lovely(room was called Dog) There was ample private parking which was a bonus as the main building had limited spaces.Breakfast was superb with plenty of choice and friendly service.Couldnt fault and would definitely return
