Little Gem
What a gem ! Lovely room small but very comfortable with everything you need - great because door opens onto a courtyard which is brilliant when you have a dog with you. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble - We dined in the bar and the food was exceptional - my pepper sauce was delicious. Breakfast was outstanding - would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be returning.

A great place to stay with an excellent menu.
We arrived on time for a warm and very informed welcome. Booked in, key, restaurant booking and we were in our room in no time. The food and restaurant were excellent. Breakfast was entertaining as the chef was the waiter but that made for a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere.

Wow what little gem in the Cotswolds. The accommodation was cosy but very nice. Could do with a bit more airflow on hot days/nights but apart from that fantastic. The inn has a great menu. Serves great ale and very friendly. Food was superb!
Breakfast was good traditional English cooked breakfast.
Would recommend
Thanks for a lovely short break

Simply beautiful surroundings of the Cotswolds! This little B&B is more than that. The rooms are so cosy and more like little cottages. The pub and restaurant attached to this place are an ideal addition to this great stay. Electric hookups for caravan and camper vans too! Fabulous!

If you want a complete break the outdoor room and pub with no mod coms is great. Good menu and local beer decent.

No shower in the en suite bathroom was disappointing - just a shower head on the taps. But the food was perfect and the staff super friendly, helpful and professional.

Perfect place for a night
I was hiking the Thames Path and stayed here prior to embarking on the trail. The place is charming with a typical pub aesthetic, comfy room, good food and drink and all well priced. What made it stand out was how friendly and helpful the staff were. I would definitely return!
