If you stay here, insist on not staying in the “Crows Nest” room at the top of the stairs
Pros:

The central location

Cons:

We were in the attic room and the stairs leading to our room were on an extreme slope. The bed was also sloping to one side and the extraction fan for the restaurant downstairs is IN THE ROOM also, hidden under a set of five steps that don’t go anywhere. It resulted in a terrible nights sleep. This room is not fit to be let out. At least the meals were lovely and the staff as well

Pros:

バス停からもとても近く、わかりやすかった。お料理も美味しくボリュームがあった。

Perfect stay in the heart of the Cotswold
Pros:

This is a charming hotel in the heart of the Cotswold region. The food at the Stag was excellent. The rooms were well appointed and comfy.

Cons:

It is an old building and the stairs (many) leading to our room were uneven. It’s not a place if you have mobility issues or tall as my husband was constantly hitting his head on lamps or door sills. The morning staff was also a bit gruff and business like. Not easy going as you’d want on a relaxing trip to the Cotswold. Easy to overlook as the Stag is a lovely place

Lovely staff, Great food, terrible size room, tiny is being kind.
Pros:

The staff were lovely, helpful and very friendly. Staff were excellent. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. Fresh milk for tea and coffee in your room which was a nice touch. Shower gel etc provided, this was lovely and smelt so nice.

Cons:

The room was the smallest I have ever stayed in, it couldn’t be much smaller. There bed was fixed to one of the walls so you could only get in one side, very tricky when there are 2 of you. There was a tiny galley/ walkway beside the bed, barely room for one person let alone two. At £140 a night I think this was very disappointing and certainly not good value. No wardrobe, no chest of drawers just three hangers On. . Tiny rail by the door that got knocked every time you walked past it. Bathroom, tiny, shower, tiny! They must have built the bed in the room as there was no way much was going through that door. Lighting poor.

I would definitely love to stay again!
Pros:

The bedroom was quite small but absolutely perfect for one person for one night. The view out of the window over the main square was lovely.

Cons:

The entrance hall was a bit dark.
