Tired and in poor condition

The place is tired and needs a major overhaul. The bedrooms are tiny and the shower over the bath arrangement is so 10 years ago. Breakfast was adequate for pre-packed stuff. Nothing gluten free for my wife apart from a yoghurt. The price charged is for a better quality place. I wouldn't stay again and would advise any friends to stay.

Do not belueve the pictures

Not what we were expecting. Pictures portray a country pub in the cotswolds. In reality this is a very rundown buIlding which was once a pub giving an amateurish attempt at a B&B.

Checked out immediately!

For a start, whilst this place appears to be a pub and you might expect to sit in the lovely beer garden or bar pictured it's not. There is no pub or restaurant they closed down a long time ago. The place is a tired disappointment from parking. Everything is tired and dirty. The pillows had blood stains on, mattress is a cheap memory foam and the bed base had a layer of dust. The blind was down with a sign saying 'sorry I'm injured' which looked like it had been injured for a long time with the layer of dust. Even the toilet bowl was brown and would welcome some bleach. We checked straight back out immediately and lost £105 it was that bad. To add insult to injury the hotel lied to hotels.com and said that they offered us a different room and upgrade which they did not!

Good intentions. Lack of investment resources! First impressions: (Superior Double) Having visited many years ago (under different ownership) I was disappointed to see the buildings & surroundings had deteriorated, lacking maintenance. The room was reasonably clean & quiet, with adequate bathroom facilities & plentiful, instant hot water. The room was well facilitated with fan, ironing board, hair dryer, lighting, furnishings etc., but the fridge was not functioning & the weather & room were hot. Thankfully, we carry our own mobile mini fridge & were able to use this in the room. The room smelled strongly of body odour, which we tried to dissipate by opening windows, using the room fan & our own freshener sprays. We rely heavily on WiFi access. Despite being specified, we could not get a connection in the room. The password repeatedly failed, although the QR code worked, but gave very poor intermittent access. Poor, local signal strength provided no mobile data. The TV was problematic, and the lack of WiFi access as a substitute, exacerbated the problem. The one member of staff we encountered was very polite and helpful to a couple of special requests. Despite many years of using hotels, we had always specified "Full English breakfast" and never stayed where only continental breakfast was available, but we were pleased with what was on offer (except for lack of the traditional English marmalade in the jam selection) and we left well sated.

Checked out almost immediately

The room was not well cleaned, there was no working bar and I started to feel itchy. The room was single glazing next to a busy road. Shortly after check-in, I checked out and went to another hotel.

Quirky little gem of a hotel

Love this little gem of a hotel. Quirky and all the rooms are very different but always comfortable. Staff are always very helpful and welcoming and breakfast and wifi is included which is a nice touch at this price range. Don't expect 5* or a perfectly maintained hotel but you will have a comfortable and great value stay in a nice location with plenty of free parking.

Do not stay here.

The outside of this hotel looks pretty but inside very dated, run down and dirty. Every wall we saw was grubby and dusty. Our bedroom was rundown and the bathroom. There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling having fallen out. The bed was a disgrace. The mattress had collapsed on one side so was like sleeping on a flat spring. The other side was broken towards the end of the bed too. The breakfast was very basic. No staff at desk to raise these issues

Another place charging excessive amount for a dog

Friendly staff. The room and bedding was clean. Continental breakfast was satisfactory. Disappointed that there was not a bar or evening meal available.All in not bad value for less than £60 The downside was thenow ubiquitous charge for our dog. £20 for what? Nothing. He has his own bed, his own food, doesn't shed hair. This is becoming all to common now

OK for a lay over but don’t expect much

Guy on reception friendly. Car park is across from a very busy road. You take your life in your hands! Building quaint but very run down. Continual breakfast was probably the poorest fare I have ever been offered. Traffic very noisy, no air con so don’t stay in hot weather.

Disappointed that the pub part of the hotel is closed, but advised as open. Very run down such a shame as it could be a beautiful place. Stair way to the room was very smelly. The room was ok but could have been looked after a little more. Bathroom not the cleanest.
