Great stay
Enjoyed our one night stay very much. Check out was 11:00 am not 10:00 plus a free continental breakfast was included which was quite substantial including tea, coffee, juices, fresh fruit, overnight oats, toast, jams, cheese and ham. All the staff were very welcoming, kind and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

We had a beautiful room separate from the Inn (Witney) which made it feel like a little cottage on its own. The room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and the shower clean. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel and both were great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and happy to help on all occasions. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute and quaint inn located in the Cotswolds. Food was good and presented quite nice at their restaurant (we had breakfast and dinner). Lovely and very nice staff. Would recommend this inn if you are interested in seeing Bibury and Bourton-on-the-water since it is quite close.

A lovely old building
A lovely old building, with lots of charm. Don’t expect state of the art shower or super flat floors as some parts of the building are 300 years old. The food was excellent as were the staff, very friendly and engaging.

Lamb Tops
I have been going to the Lamb for 30 years and would like to think there is another 30 to go, although a stairlift may be needed by the end. All you could ask for, good food, a comfortable bed and quiet.
