Would recommend this to others.
Pros:

Our room was very comfortable and clean, everything we needed. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, good knowledge of the area and great service. The meals were delicious and fresh, (we had fish and chips and ham and eggs) and i liked that they use locally sourced produce.
Also well positioned to explore the Cotswalds.

Would not recommend
Pros:

The location was good as everything on the attractions & popular tourist places was nearby.

Cons:

The room was really smelly. We had no idea that we need to inform the reception about to make our room.we had to ask fresh towels next day and reception told us that they provide towels and everything ONLY once for weekend. No phone in room. Mattress was itchy and not comfortable atall.

Exceptional
Pros:

We stopped for a weekend break at the Merrymouth Inn and were greeted by friendly staff. Throughout our stay, everyone we encountered was very welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable. While the WiFi was a bit slow, it wasn't a major issue. The food was excellent, though a bit pricey compared to what we're used to in the Midlands, but it was definitely worth it. The staff provided great recommendations for local attractions. We would highly recommend the Merrymouth Inn and look forward to visiting again.

Initial pleasure at quality facilities, ending in disappointment at early closing
Pros:

The quality of fitments in the room were excellet. Best shower, for pressure, I have ever had in a hotel. Our only interaction with the staff was when we booked in and had lunch. They were very friendly and helpful and the lunch ( a Thursday and Friday meal deal) was good quality, well priced and met our needs at the time.

Cons:

The fact that the room was not serviced at all during our 3 night stay which meant that we ran out of tea and milk by our last night. Also when we returned to the hotel in the evening it was always closed or about to close. In mitigation on booking in, we were told that this was a possibility due to the remote location and staffing but 7.45 0n a Sunday night did seem a bit early,

Pleasant place to stay
Pros:

Spotlessly clean. Friendly owners.

Cons:

Didn't have any glasses in room and we were woken at 5am on Monday morning by noise overhead/upstairs, eg very creaky floors, cups being washed and clattered etc, but everything could be easily remedied.
