It was extremely nice in a very quiet environment which suited me well. Very well appointed and well thought out. Excellent food and wine, and friendly staff. Would be nice to be able to have a cooked breakfast during the week. Overall excellent.

Looks super from the outside, but not as clean as it could be outside, needs to be swept everyday to get rid of the cigarette butts, no proper shower in our bathroom, no space to put anything in the bedroom, our room had not been cleaned, had to ask for clean towels.

Everything was excellent, and Kes went above and beyond even though they were short staffed. The only downside was Expedia taking the deposit from us and not paying The horse and Groom, which is provung difficult to resolve through no fault of our or Kez and her team.

We decided very last minute to stay in the Cotswalds overnight. I wanted to experience a staying a traditional inn. The Horse and Groom was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better. The guestroom was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We booked just an hour before we arrived, but they were gracious to accommodate us. The Inn is picturesque, the breakfast was amazing even though we were there on Monday when they do t offer their full breakfast menu. The service was the best we have ever received. If we are ever back in the Cotswolds, we will definitely make a point to stay at The Horse and Groom again.

The hotel had no emergency number or way to contact staff outside of business hours. We were locked out of our room for hours and had no assistance. Additionally, none of the VIP benefits were received, food from the pub below can’t be eaten or delivered to the room, and the check-in is simply the bar. Staff were generally unhelpful.
