Only stayed for one night. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Room was spacious with a comfortable bed, double wardrobe with plenty storage if staying longer. The bar area had a warm cosy atmosphere, there was a singer on who was very good. Would stay here again.

A great spot to enjoy some of the Cotswolds Way. Massive comfy bed and strong shower, although a bit let down by an old bath and cheap, clingy shower curtain. Nice bar area, friendly staff, and OK food. Good value breakfast, as you get continental plus a hot menu included. However, the full English I had was below par (definitely seemed pre-prepared rather than freshly made), but some of the other items looked better.

Plenty of parking and decent bar area, room was clean but with marks on curtains and few touch ups on the wall poorly done. Mattress was very uncomfortable, springs pushing through and tendency to fold toward middle of bed, otherwise great staff, very friendly

A traditional hotel stay in a great location in Birdlip, right next to the Cotswold Way. There is a really pleasant walk direct from the car park around fields or through some woodland next to the Cotswold way that offers incredible views towards Gloucester. The room itself was fine, with some aspects requiring some modernisation, as some areas around the property could do with some maintenance and a refresh. However, I always like to stay here as the food is good and staff friendly enough. Overall recommended.
