10/10 Exceptional

Great home base to visit the Cotswalds. Very clean, comfortable and spacious room above the really cool pub. Staff was excellent as well. Free parking too. Th e only issue was that the pub got loud on Friday night. It really didn’t bother us but I could see some early birds getting a bit annoyed. Otherwise great place and a great value

Considering it's above a pub it was very quiet. Well appointed room - bathroom slightly dated but very clean and everything you need. Even a floor standing fan in the room which was aa godsend! Friendly and welcoming staff. Would stay here again. Very
