With its roaring log fires and unique rooms, the Inn offers a cozy retreat after exploring the picturesque Cotswolds.

nice dining experience

delicious foodfriendly staffwarm welcomefuture return
i dined here. scallops and parfait started the meal. pork rib and potato rosti followed. everything tasted delicious. the staff was very friendly and cute. i'm looking forward to returning soon.
the room was small considering the price and could use a bit of tlc. there was no comfortable chair inside and an unnecessary table occupied the space where one should have been. noises from the room above disturbed me until late and from 7am.
