Excellent Sunday lunch, good food, lovely staff and good service. Would give 5/5 but hate an added service charge, if they don't want to serve you make it a carvery! Would have left them a good tip anyway.

Met up with friends for lunch, as it's a halfway point, and our group of 7 couldn't fault it. Staff were amazing, the food was fabulous. All in all we had a marvelous day and they couldn't do enough for us. We'll definitely go back and would love to stay over next time.

Loved my visit here stayed a few days for my niece's wedding.its a really picturesque hotel and the rooms are really quaint. They threw a garden party in the evening. The food was really nice. Great customer service and the staff were lovely. Food wise had a full breakfast one morning and eggs Benedict the other. Have to say the Hollandaise sauce was really nice. Am planning a return trip to take in some of the local sites and would definitely recommend.

Excellent location, a short walk from the town centre, but far enough away to contribute generously to your 10,000 steps a day target! The hotel is a lovely quaint old building, with a nice big beer garden ideal for drinking outside. The food was very good, the dining room was lovely, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was sad to leave after our three night stay. I wish our stay could have been longer.

Fabulous location for the town, clean hygienic and very comfortable. If I never eat another dessert in my life I will die a happy man because last night I had the "banana split" now this isn't some sort of throwback to being a kid, no this is taking it to another level. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I promise you won't regret it. Thank you.

A superb hotel with clean rooms and fabulous atmosphere. Ideally located in a near central location, a very short walk right into the centre of Cirencester. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty and the service was fantastic. Will visit again for sure.
