We loved this property, the location and the staff. The front house manager works very hard and runs an excellent ship. The barkeep and restaurant staff were friebadly and the food was fantastic. We are returning from Vancouver in May to stay again. It was a great base for so much beautiful walking. The local shops are lovely and the Old Bakery tea house is 1 moment down the road, tell Alan we sent you. He is a local gem.🇨🇦

Historical old inn with lots of character.

The Porch House was a comfortable choice for a one night stay. The staff were friendly and the room clean and bed really comfortable. The inn is very old and has lots of character, but the bedroom and ensuite bathroom were quite small.

Travelling through the Cotswolds.

Only a one night stay but stay was great. From check in staff, bar and restaurant staff and the cleaners we met when we arrived and departed were all great, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is excellent for a real taste of the Cotswolds and our meal in the restaurant in the evening, and breakfast in the morning were great also.

As a lover of history, you cannot find a better place that a spot that has been operating for a thousand years! Clean, comfortable where the staff are super friendly and welcoming. If you want to immerse yourself in the Cotswolds, start here! The food at the restaurant was amazing as well!
