Weekend in the Cotswolds

Great location for exploring the Cotswolds. The pub is a lovely country pub. Its right next door to Hook brewery which does a lovely breakfast. The room we had was large and spacious for all 4 of us. We highly recommend this pub.

The location was lovely, I only had a stop over for my journey north but would love to visit again. I had a lovely welcome from the staff. The room was large with everything I needed to feel at home and have a good nights sleep.

Cosy stay, lovely location

A lovely location. The room was very spacious and comfortable with a huge bed. A lovely cosy pub to have a drink in as well and a very good base if you’re visiting the nearby Brewery. Would definitely recommend their restaurant for breakfast!

Short stay at the Pear Tree

Stayed for two nights as part of a bigger trip and also to do the brewery tour. We were given room 1 which was huge and very comfortable. In the mornings we took breakfast at the brewery and the evening a meal at the Sun Inn, both were excellent and a short walk away. The pub doesn’t do hot food itself but I think it gives it a better atmosphere. They were setting up a food van for the Saturday we left.

Nice Inn, the rooms are above a local bar, it was noisy until the bar closed. The rooms where clean and the staff friendly. It is located on a small country road, far from any town.

Ok at a pinch.

Comfortable bed, and a lovely beamed bedroom. A bit noisy but it was a saturday night and we were warned when we arrived as room was directly above the bar. Fire doors were left jammed open with blocks of wood (which are by each door) which needs to stop as it is dangerous. Rooms need better ventilation fans to stop the mould...see photos. My reccomendation is to stay in the star inn nearby.

The Pear Tree Inn

I booked this as a stopover on business. Nice location, friendly staff. Modest rooms, suitable for getting some sleep. Nice Brewery museum behind the pub. A fair bit of noise from the pub when up in your room but to be expected.

The room was lovely but there was excessive noise and swearing from the pub garden until well after midnight and builders making noise from 8am. So a real shame.

Let down by poor bathroom

Very friendly and welcoming check-in. Spacious room and attractive decor. Old building so narrow stairs and steps to catch you out - to be expected and part of the character of the old inn. Noise in room from bar immediately below but didn't go on late. The big disappointment for us was the bathroom. There was no extract ventilation and no heating, so condensation on walls when the shower was used. The shower tray was very flimsy and creaked and moved. The shower doesn't have a door but the screen doesn't stop water spraying out of the cubicle onto the floor and bathroom door. The door was delaminating as a result. There was no towel rail or hook, so where do you put the towel when having a shower? No shelf for toilet bag etc.Overall a functional disaster. The bathroom really spoilt our experience. If it had been as good as the bedroom, then 4/5. But for the room rate we paid (£85 and no breakfast), it was a disappointment. Please make the bathroom functional and hygienic - heating, ventilation, shower cubicle that works, shelves or hooks.

Basic accomodation

The best thing about our stay here was the breakfast at the Brewery up the road - but we had to ask for the discount vouchers towards this each day, they weren't provided automatically. The room was large but fairly basic, a few cracks iin the walls and short on furniture. There was no heating or mechanical ventlation in the bathroom. But the bed was comfortable and the heating made a valliant effort to keep the room warm in very cold conitions and the shower worked OK.

Slightly disappointed after our last superb stay

Understood that no breakfast would be available (as I read) but had expected evening meals to be served. It would be helpful to be added. Room 1, shower support bracket broken making it impossible to have a proper shower. Misc damage to parts of room although size of room applauded and appreciated. We could only find one shower towel (and shower mat) in the morning nothing else. We stayed some 7 or 8 years ago and would have said everything couldn't have been better when we left.
