Noisy, no food… good staff

Booked based on previous reviews but was disappointed to find out that kitchen was closed so no restaurant available. Only option was takeaway food. Room was fine but noisy as my room was next to a very loud boiler !!

This hotel decor is a little tired but not as bad as some of the reviews suggest and our one night stay overall was ok. Breakfast was great but dinner menu was pretty limited and service slow.

Overnight for businesses

Had a lovely one night stay for business purposes. The bar area had a fantastic feel of blended traditional pub with modern elements. Lovely open fire and WiFi. The menu for food was small which I like. Offering a smaller menu in my experience usually means better quality and that was my experience this time! The burger was lovely. I ordered desert but unfortunately had to leave for work purposes. I returned later and the bar staff had remembered I had paid and very kindly asked the kitchen to prepare my desert even though the kitchen had closed. The room was very comfortable with good facilities. Breakfast the next morning was also very well cooked. All staff I encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.

I brought the superior room for my boyfriend and I, I was quite disappointed with what was presented for the money I spent. On the itinerary it said there would be complimentary water and toiletries. There were only hand wash and conditioner. The ceiling above the shower had mould. The shower had poor pressure. The curtains weren't hung properly as the hooks were broken so they drooped in the middle. The breakfast was nice although there wasn't much selection other than cereal, full English and toast. The staff were nice enough although didn't ask how we were or if we were having a good stay so we felt quite uncomfortable in the dining area. I know these are all little things however when you pay almost £200 for 2 nights you do expect a little more attention to detail.

Turned up at 4pm and the place was locked and had to call for them to open up. Very quiet location and traditional looking pub. I stayed in a room in the main building which was small, and a bit tired. Positives - beautiful area, nice staff Negatives - not as good as it looks in the photos

Rooms are lovely in what is like an annex above the pub and restaurant. The manager gave us one of these rooms when we asked him instead of the rooms that are outside around the back,as we didn’t want a room with a balcony.Full English Breakfast is also excellent

Loved being able to have dinner at the restaurant, have a few cocktails in the courtyard, and walk upstairs to our newly refurbished room. Loved our stay! The young man who worked the entire time of our stay made sure we had all of the amenities we needed. The breakfast was amazing. It was a great place to stay if you are wanting to visit Bampton and walk around the areas in which Downton Abbey was used for filming. We were also only 15-20 minutes from "Bourton on the Water" if you are wanting to stroll around the Cotswolds. I am a very picky traveler. I don't usually trust places that are given a 3 star especially given the price. This is a great bargain for your dollar and they definitely earned a 3.5 from me. Our children stayed in one of the rooms out back. It was nice as well, but our room (inside) had been updated and redone. Thank you.
