Relaxing and quiet
Pros:

Beautiful location and a very cosy pub and rooms. We were on a little weekend break in the Cotswold and this place offered what we needs and I can say it was a good choice. The staff is very polite and friendly and made us feel like at home. The breakfast was really good; we also ordered eggs Benedict, very tasty. Our room was comfortable, clean, and had plenty of tea and coffee, hot chocolate, milk could be requested and they would bring to the room.
I love the big beer garden and also the host recommended a few places we can visit. I recommend the place and would gladly come back

Cons:

The bathroom floor could do with a bit more thorough cleaning around the corners by the sink, which were dusty and also behind the toilet seat.
The bath in our room had some chipped enamel marks which looked a bit like a few big flies are in the bath :) (sorry that’s how it looked to me)

Not what we expected
Pros:

The bed was good

Cons:

There is no celular signal in the hotel location. So our smartphones did not work. The TV in our room didn’t work at all; I was told that the problem was with the internet. As we checked in at 3:30 pm, I asked if we could change rooms. I was told they were fully booked and all but one room had the same problem. It is what it is! Nothing solved and no interest was shown by the staff.

Good food, poor room.
Pros:

The food was very good. The menu had unusual items, not just "pub food" and was well cooked and presented, with good service. Good range of drinks in the bar and a good wine list. Very nice bar and dining area. I would definitely recommend as a place to eat. Also has a nice garden area for the summer.
Tea, toast and cereal were included in the morning but anything more had to be paid for and ordered the night before.

Cons:

The bar was pretty much empty apart from us so we felt that we had to go to our room straight after dinner. The room was very small, which we expected and wasn't a problem but it was in need of some updating. The TV didn't work - it appeared to come through the internet - which was erratic - but we couldn't get anything at all which wasn't great as we'd gone to the room so early.
The bathroom was also small and definitely needs an upgrade. Small bath which had chips out of it and a shower which was just about OK. However the tatty window didn't shut properly and the radiator was rusty. Nice Bramley toiletries. If there are better rooms, we maybe could have been given one of those as there was only one other guest. We felt the room we had was overpriced for what we got so wouldn't stay again.

Disappointing
Pros:

Aesthetically pleasing on arrival but having stayed realised the property is in need updating

Cons:

There was no running water in the shower or bath
The manager did not apologise but said we did not wait long enough. There was no notification explaining that the water took a long time to arrive!!

Memorable for all the right reasons.
Pros:

Really lovely property in an exceptional location. Sherry & Jason could not have worked harder to make our stay memorable. Food was great, lovely atmosphere in the bar area. Great place for a weekend retreat.

Cons:

In a location like this, expect poor signals. WiFi in the hotel, but as soon as you move out, it’s spotty. But tbh, it didn’t matter.

The location and relaxing atmosphere made this overnight stay exactly what I was looking for.
Pros:

From the moment I arrived, I received a genuinely warm welcome that set the tone. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always happy to help, which made me feel relaxed straight away.

A special mention has to go to the family dog, Cruz, who was just lovely and added an extra personal touch to the experience. The atmosphere throughout was comfortable and inviting, and it’s clear the team really care about their guests’ experience.

Overall, a lovely stay.. happily return and would definitely recommend to others.

Cons:

Nothing

Lovely place to stay.
Pros:

Great cozy pub with nice clean rooms. Very welcoming and accommoding hosts. Good wifi. Very cozy pub and restaurant downstairs with nice food.

Cons:

The showers were too old. They did not have enough pressure and took too long for warm (never hot) water to come out.
