Nice stay for a family weekend. Property could have done with a deep clean, the baking trays/oven looks like its never been cleaned
Great base and served its purpose

I found it to be very expensive so what I got
The room was not clean
The TV didn’t work
No WiFi connection
If it wasn’t for the lovely staff I would have complained and ask for some kind of refund.
The breakfast was very good

Comfy bed!
The hotel was absolutely wonderful! A perfect stop along our Cotswolds journey! The staff was super friendly when we checked in and was sure to let us know of timings for food and drinks! We had supper there which was a little above average. Perfect for an easy night. The patio out back was beautiful too!
The bed was SUPER comfortable which made for a great night sleep!

Lovely welcoming staff. Great food and service. Room was clean and comfortable. Only mention would be the decor in our room was quite dark which made the room feel smaller than it was.

Great few days …..
First class service provided by management and staff, nothing too much and they clearly enjoy what they do.
Restaurant of a good standard, breakfast offer should be reviewed, needs to be more ‘homely’ in keeping with the premises e.g. get some back bacon and grill it.
Great place to spend a couple of days but rooms need refurbishment

Excellent team who made us feel very welcome. Great dinner and breakfast (normally stressful for a dairy-free and gluten-free person). Excellent service, which was quick but not intrusive and very well informed. A lovely pub in a great location with a superb team working there. Thank you

I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to stay very long but, what I did see was very interesting as an ‘olde worlde’ British pub. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was generous and very tasty.
The one thing that was a disconcerting surprise was the fact that on Monday morning, I was suddenly informed that there was no food on Monday nights; this was in spite of two or three emails asking if I wanted to book a table for the evening meal for the two nights I was staying there.

Convenient for M4, great food and drink.
Very friendly welcome by the landlord. Lovely rooms and surprisingly quiet given that they are above the bar & restaurant. Also, surprisingly quiet given that they are on an A road. Really nice bar and restaurant - food is amazing!
Very convenient for the M4 - I had a 9.30am meeting in North Bristol, left and 8.45 and got there easilly.

A nice country pub with adequate facilities. All the food we had was good. Well located for our visit to Highgrove. However the breakfast service was very slow and we had to complain. The staff refunded our breakfast costs as a result.

Good but could be better
Great staff & food and comfy bed but a few bits not ideal. Quite noisy. You have to be in the pub for the WiFi to connect before you can use it in your room. Didn’t realise there was no shower, only a bath. No hairdryer in the room. Overall good but a few easy improvements needed

Value for Money
Lovely pub, very friendly & helpful staff. Dined in the evening & had a lovely meal and a really good breakfast the next morning with lots of choices.
The bedroom was a little disappointing, it could do with a deep clean, lots of dust etc and no standing shower facility, which is a problem when you are 6ft 3” & the bathroom has sloping ceilings! Admittedly I understand not everyone is 6ft 3” so it’s not the pubs fault but something to bear in mind when booking.
On the whole a pleasant stay & certainly value for money given a fabulous breakfast is included.
