The hotel has a lovely location overlooking the river and the cricket field, making it a charming stay. The rooms were spacious and clean with nice views, but the housekeeping was lacking as my room wasn't made up on the second day. However, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating throughout my 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.

The rooms are overlooking the bridge and gardens, showing some signs of aging. They could accommodate a King size bed but was only double size. There was a damp smell possibly from the shower curtain.

The hotel felt very Mediterranean and provided a lovely setting to relax by the river. It's conveniently situated just 3 miles away from Cirencester and close to other attractions like Bibury and Stow. You can enjoy supper and the view of cricket being played across the brook.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but lacked a bit of character. The service was friendly overall. The location was good, near the town, but a bit noisy until late due to the proximity to the function room. The dining experience was decent, though some improvements could be made.
