Lovely building and a good location but there is a drainage issue.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

There is a drainage issue. We told it would be fixed but it wasn’t. Had to swap rooms and was compensated which was fair.

The site has no onsite reception team. So reporting issues is a phone call.

New room had occasional drainage smell but that might be to do with the weather and age of the building.

Loved our 2 night stay at the Evenlode, great location for exploring the Cotswolds.
Pros:

The room was very well appointed with a very comfortable bed, double aspect windows that provided plenty of fresh air. The room also had a large TV, a fan, hair dryer, nespresso coffee maker and tea making facilities with breakfast bars and biscuits. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was very clean. The bathroom was very nice and shower was excellent. It has lovely beer gardens and is ideally located close to most Cotswolds areas, Oxford and Bicester.

Cons:

They could have served breakfast.

Two nights, good value, shame about no breakfast
Pros:

Good location by the main A40.

Cons:

The pub is very popular, so it is quite noisy, music on late etc.
They do not do breakfast, which is not indicated anywhere, a self service coffee and tea machine plus some croissants in the bar would fix this.
There were a few small snags in the room, but nothing worth listening here.

A good night thank you
Pros:

Very friendly and cheerful staff. Request for a quiet room was met with no disturbance overnight. Easy parking but access off A40 is a bit tight if coming from Witney as need to cross busy carriageway. Very convenient for the Farmer's Dog though!!

Rooms and building could do with maintenance on them, but fantastic staff who are very friendly and helpful
Pros:

The staff were absolutely fantastic, very friendly and helpful

Cons:

The lock on the hotel door was broken, which led to me being locked out on my first night. Luckily, my partner was inside and could open it from there, however on the second day we were both out, so I had to contact the hotel to fix it, otherwise we would be locked out overnight. The bathroom flooded when you used the shower, and also let off a strong sewage smell. Also, we were unable to control the radiator from our room - it was sweltering hot when we went to bed, but the radiator turned off overnight and it was freezing in the morning.

Great location for where we needed to be.
Pros:

Food was lovely as were the staff. Location to where we were visiting was great.

Cons:

No breakfast but knew that in advance.
Main showerhead (not the detachable one) needed a good clean, had mold on it as did a few of the shower tiles. Bleach would get rid of it easily.
More Christmas decorations!!
Overall stay was nice.
