“This establishment makes for a fine base for exploring the Cotswolds, with well-appointed, clean rooms and a consistently helpful staff. While the pub's atmosphere is a definite draw, particularly on busier nights, the food is reliably good and reasonably priced, presenting solid value. A minor refresh in some of the bathrooms would elevate the comfort further, but this is a commendable option for the area.”
