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.

Lovely room but disappointing extras

Room was beautiful and we were welcomed well, but internet adapter flashed all around the room and woke us at 3:20am and 4:30am. Breakfast was very basic. Had to ask for drinks and toast etc. Tea was hot water in a flask and tea bags in a dish. Hoovering and cleaning going on nearby whilst eating.

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.

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.
