Friendly owners Mark & Helen, We travelled to Cricklade ant to the Vale Hotel from Finland with my 12 -years old son. The idea was to attend the cancelled RIAT in RAF Fairford. Mark was super helpful for finding alternative things to do with my son. Will come back for 2027 RIAT and stay here. Would highly recommend the hotel.
