Beautiful historic hotel with excellent rooms and dining, but unclear extra bed charges.
Pros:

Wonderful boutique hotel in a very historic building, beautifully renovated. Impeccable room with very comfortable beds and an excellent bathroom. Very good daily housekeeping. The hotel restaurant is excellent, with fantastic food and good service.

Cons:

I had an issue with the extra bed charge (£70), as this policy was not clearly stated in the Booking.com listing at the time of reservation. I tried to explain this to the staff member and show that the information was unclear, but they kept repeating that the charge was valid according to the hotel’s rules. I accepted the charge despite disagreeing and mentioned that I would include this in my review. It is worth considering whether this was a Booking.com or hotel communication issue. In any case, a refund would be very welcome, as my complaint is legitimate.

A perfect location for exploring wrapped up with comfort and friendly staff, thank you!
Pros:

Staff were friendly and accommodating.
Nice and quiet room.
Perfect location!

Cons:

I'm quite tall, so would have preferred a slightly bigger room.
But it was the 'Crow's Nest', so shouldn't grumble too much!

Quality stay , great location , friendly staff.
Pros:

Great location right on market square. Nice welcome and help with bags. Comfortable bed , quality linen , nice bathroom products. We ate a selection of nibbles and starters at the pub and enjoyed all of them. Lovely atmosphere , brilliant playlist of relaxing music on the night we were there.

Cons:

The large nails in the bedroom wooden floors need to be hammered down. Painful.

A very recommendable place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds!
Pros:

Very well located just on the Market Square, 10 metres from the bus stop. Cosy atmosphere as you enter through the pub. Our bedroom was very comfortable. We had dinner once at the pub, and the fish and chips were delicious. It also has vegetarian options. Very convenient location to visit other places nearby by bus.

Cons:

All was fine!

Pros:

In general a very pleasant stay, location was great and parking very easy.

Cons:

I would suggest that some of the bar staff could be a little more attentive and communicate with the customers rather talking to one another and ignoring us.

Pros:

Excellent food. Both the evening meal and the continental breakfast was outstanding
