Up to and beyond expectations
Our stay was everything that we had hoped for - friendly and helpful staff, excellent room with plenty of space,super outdoor space and lovely hanging flowers. It was a Saturday night and we thought it might be a tad noisy, but having been lively and buzzzing earlier, all was calm and quiet at 11pm and we had a really good night's sleep.

An OK stay
Room was clean and comfortable, telly was small and breakfast started late, 8:30, which lead to a rush for getting to work.

A really nice place to stay, staff are friendly & helpful.
If 5 star luxury it’s what your looking for it’s probably not the place for you, but for everyone else I would recommend as a good place to stay.

The place doubles as fine accommodation and a busy pub/restaurant. It was easy to find with ample parking. I was greeted warmly on checking in. There was a bit of a trek to my room which was outside and up a flight of stairs but was well worth it when I got there. There was a lovely little dining area outside the room door on the balcony which was used later on a sunny 80 degree day to sit back and relax. The room had patio doors looking out, a sofa and coffe table along with the king sized bed. The bathroom was fantastic providing both a deep soak bath and walk in shower. There were plenty of dining options in a nearby radius. I was able to go on an hour long walk around the surrounding suburban area which seemed very safe. The shower helped me to de-stress and I settled for a very comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast was served a little later than I am used to, starting at 08:30 but was good. All in all, I would look to stay here again if I can secure the same room for the reasonable price I got it for.

Very good reasonable Accommodation
A lovely friendly pub with comfortable quiet rooms which have recently been up dated. Really fantastic value for money with full English breakfast included. Not too far to explore the Cotswolds.
