Stunning Cotswold Inn
A delightful two-night break in this beautiful cosy inn. We stayed in The Old Beams room, which is lovely. Breakfast was delicious and served in the beautiful dining room. The bar area is so atmospheric with the flagstone floor, beams, amazing fire and candlelight. The food was also fab, staff were very friendly. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for a winter break.

True Cotswold experience
If you’re looking for an authentic Cotswold experience, this is your place! It’s set in the beautiful countryside, away from the crowded villages. The Inn is adorable, and tastefully furnished in period design. The dining room serves delicious, English dishes, and there’s a cozy pub, along with a back garden area for relaxation! The only negative was no air conditioning, but we had a floor fan that kept us comfortable.

Room, surroundings and staff all first rate. Menu and variety could use some tweaking. For those, like us, staying for more than a few days the same 5 or 6 items leave little choice especially when some items are not cared for. Overall a great stay.
