Everyone there did what we did and had their suitcases transported separately so they could hike Cotswold Way. Excellent vegan options for dinner and breakfast. Free drink upon arrival. Walking distance to Cotswold Way, the castle, and all downtown shops.

Atmospheric traditional pub with good accommodation. This isn't the Ritz, however, the accommodation is comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent and I recommend the Full English. Service at breakfast time was excellent. All in all an excellent value stay.

10/10 Exceptional

A very pleasant 2 night stay. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Food in the restaurant was very good. Rooms had been updated and were done to a high standard. Our room did become a little hot due to a sunny day and just windows to allow in the air. Breakfasts were excellent but at busy times I felt for the staff as they were definitely stretched though they did their utmost to keep everything going. Well done to them. We would stay again for sure.

Dave, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The lion inn is a charming old pub with a pretty garden and we had an okay stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean , food was good, and our room was quiet. However, the property is tired, the shower was tricky, carpet had stains and the wifi didn’t work. Staff were underwhelming and we felt it was overpriced .

6/10 Good

Not good

Don’t book this place to stay if you want to eat as well they will not have a table for you unless you book a month ahead
Steven, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Zero welcome and zero again on checking out. Not even a hello or did you enjoy your stay...? Room was just about ok for price, but utterly charmless management...
Chris, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not a bargain at 1/2 the price

To be fair the restaurant and bar were very good. Hotel? Very noisy. If you want to stay up late, close the bar and are a heavy sleeper then this place is for you. Original room was above the kitchen. A fan or pump went on and off all day and most of the night. Changed rooms and the restaurant and bar noise was bad until late. It was a weekend. Due to downgrade of room when we moved a partial refund was promised. Not received nor communication returned since. Obviously not recommended.
Carl, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything you'd want from a country pub in the Cotswolds. creaky wooden floors, real beer, glowing fireplace and great pub food (but not pretentious gastro-pub fare). and the room was amazing. We stayed in the Oakley, and it was perfect. super comfortable giant bed, lovely deep bath, and great shower room, with a very convenient motion sensor light that trips on in the night when you need a pee. Lot's of help if needed for local walks etc, and very polite and engaging staff. And Winchcombe is very pretty for a stroll, and very close to Sudeley Castle, and some of the more well known Cotwolds villages. Would very much recommend a stay here!

Patrick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really lovely room - cute with sloping ceiling and nice touches. We had dinner in the pub that was excellent with great service. Breakfast was good - one course - would have been nice if there had been a cereal / yogurt and fruit option to start with, service at breakfast was a little slow - initially to be acknowledged and then served - we were the only people in the pub for breakfast. There was a problem with the shower - too hot / too cold and would not turn off. Told staff to be told there was a problem in the other rooms and the switches weren’t very good - which was a bit disappointing as it suggested they were aware. But overall evening meal and service more than made up for some slight disappointments.
