Great, modern hotel inside a historic building. I would definitely stay there again the next time I'm in Circencester (which the locals pronounce as "Zy-ren-sester").

The Suite was super charming! One of the most unique hotel rooms we’ve ever stayed in and I would highly recommend it! Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was right in the centre of town and our room overlooked the Market Square and the church. Extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Short stay parking was very close but it was a five minute walk to long stay parking. Building works going on on the front of the hotel at the time but that did not disturb us in any way

Great staff. Beautiful lobby. We stayed in B5, very large two bedroom suite. Floors were creaky and angled in places and could definitely bump your head in many places if you’re not careful. Bathrooms were large and modern. Great location.

A great base for a weekend stay in Cirencester. The hotel is in the middle of town so a great location to explore the town & surrounding areas. The hotel is lovely & rooms well equipped & very comfortable.
Breakfast was outstanding, a great selection of options on offer, everything was delicious. Would stay again if visiting this area.

This was a last minute trip and didn’t disappoint. The hotel is right in the market square with shops and bars and historical buildings all within a short walk. Our suite was fabulous and had the biggest bed! The staff were all very friendly and attentive and nothing too much trouble. Will definitely return.

Overall it’s a nice hotel with a good location.
Not all front desk staff are very accommodating.
Lobby & restaurant areas looked like they needs updating. Heard the hotel may be changing hands/owners.
