The hotel has a lovely location overlooking the river and the cricket field, making it a charming stay.

The hotel had very clean rooms and was very comfortable, although it could do with an upgrade. The limited natural light from a small window to the inside made it a bit dark at times. The service was friendly overall, but there were some delays and misunderstandings during breakfast. The location, with views of the brook and cricket pitch, seemed lovely, especially in the summer, despite being a bit of a service black spot. Dining was good with some variety, although improvements could be made in certain food items. The facilities were adequate, but some upgrades would enhance the overall experience.

I had a lovely stay at the inn, with very nice rooms offering lovely views over the brook and cricket ground. The bed was especially comfortable, and both the evening meal and breakfast were excellent. While it was a bit cold upon arrival and figuring out the heating took some time, the cleanliness was top-notch, even if the decor was a bit dated. Overall, a great experience!

The hotel offers a beautiful location by a Brook/stream, ideal for visiting the Cotswold area. The rooms were clean but not as impressive as before, and there could be better value for the money. The service was friendly overall, but there were some issues with rushing guests. The dining experience was only average quality, and the finish time was earlier than expected.
