A quaint hotel. It was very quiet, not sure if that was because of the bank holiday. The pub and restaurant were great and check in was quick and friendly. The room was very small and unfortunately, our view was the dumpster for the kitchen. We met a few locals while having a pint. Overall a great place!

Highly recommended

An olde world hotel with sloping floors, pleasant decor, comfortable bed, nice shower room, good restaurant, great location in town, which means you get some noise from early deliveries to the shops opposite. A great location for the Cotswolds.

Lovely establishment! Food was delicious. We added breakfast for 15 pounds a person and it was SO good!! Room was very comfy but some items did look dated/in need of upkeep. Rain shower was incredible. Bed was super comfy. Customer service was amazing as well.
