Great location but little things let it down for me.
Pros:

Location was great. Bed was clean and very comfy.

Cons:

No carpet on stairs, very very dusty in room and the bathroom light worked intermittently. Plus bedside lamps need replacing as on wonk and looked crap.

Great location, my venue was in Lower Slaughter less than 3 miles away. I will definitely visit this area again for leis
Pros:

Beautifully decorated and pleasant. Parking was easy the first night as I found a space on the Main Street, however I used the free parking near Tesco in my second night which was a safe and easy less than 10 minutes walk for me. Lots of places to eat at lunchtime or teatime, but breakfast was more difficult as there was nowhere that I found open before 10am, and I had an 8am start each day.

Cons:

The drawers in the furniture were difficult to open/close (hairdryer was located in one of them) however I don’t think they were entirely necessary. A chair and a laptop table would have been useful as there were only beds to sit on, but it was a quick visit so not a major issue.

Perfect for short stays
Pros:

It was central to all shops, pubs, restaurants.
We booked two rooms, a double and a twin room.
The twin room was spacious, (4) clean and well kempt
The separate bathroom was large and spacious
The double room (7) was smaller but ok . Clean
I have to say we had a problem with the heating. When we asked the owner if they could help. Immediately someone came to the room and sorted the radiator. Very impressive service.

Cons:

We knew it had bathrooms separate to the bedrooms .
What we didn't realise it was down a corridor, past two other bedrooms. But I must say that is down to us. If we booked again we would book a different room.
