Un beau séjour dans un charmant village
Pros:

Situé dans un village charmant, avec une grande terrasse très agréable, la bâtisse est charmante avec une ambiance de pub et je restaurant

Cons:

Sur nos 3 chambres, une était un peu petite pour 2. Idem pour la sdb.
Les lits étaient un peu mous et creusés mais sans que cela perturbe le sommeil

Overall we had a lovely stay here, we would highly recommend it.
Pros:

The room was lovely, very comfortable bed and bedding. Breakfast was spot on, plenty of choice with great quality ingredients.

Cons:

The bathroom needs a blind as the sun shines directly into the room making the room very hot. Also needed for privacy.

Pros:

The pub and staff were great. We were in room 5 and you need to be aware that the stairs are very steep and windey. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Good stay in comfortable country pub
Pros:

The Eliot Arms is a comfortable country pub with rooms. Very pleasant and obliging staff. The room was well equipped and included a fan which was not needed during our visit, but good to see. Nice touches included still and sparkling water, as well as tea/coffee biscuits. Location is quiet and free parking is available. Breakfast was great with wide range of choice. Dinner menu was OK, but included a lot of grilled food. Booked early at a competitive rate and overall very pleased with our stay.

Cons:

Nothing in particular.

Sehr schönes, altes Hotel in den Cotswolds
Pros:

Sehr süsse Unterkunft. Wir hatten unser Doppelzimmer unterm Dach, leider konnte man das Fenster nur einen Spalt öffnen, es stand jedoch ein Ventilator zur Verfügung.
Die Betten waren sehr bequem und es sind ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden. Nur die Treppen ins Obergeschoss sind sehr steil und schmal, wir waren froh, nur mit Rucksack zu reisen.
Wir haben zudem im Restaurant der Unterkunft gegessen, sehr lecker, genauso wie das Frühstück, bei dem man neben einem kleinen Buffet auch aus einer Karte auswählen konnte.

Cons:

Im Badezimmer stand leider nur eine Badewanne, jedoch keine Dusche zur Verfügung. Zudem war eine ganz kleine Ablagefläche vorhanden, dabei hätte die Größe des Zimmers noch Platz für ein kleines Regal hergegeben.

Lovely pub, pleasant staff, excellent food - great for a short stay with hand luggage
Pros:

Lovely pub location, safe parking, food was excellent. We stayed during the 2026 heatwave so by definition everywhere was vey hot - pub included.

Cons:

Rooms are pretty small with poor ventilation. Stairs are very steep with cases.
