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.
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.
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.
A warm welcome and lovely room, staff were excellent,the location was great. Only very slight downside was the awkward shower (but it is an old building!). Would be very happy to stay again.
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.
Very enjoyable one night stop over. Very professional service and delightful country inn restaurant. The building is historic and full of character. Kes looked after us very well.
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.
We had an excellent stay. Staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. The cleanliness was very good,our room was fantastic. We definitely will be returning.
Great food, lovely room and nice busy atmosphere in the evening. Would stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
Lovely but unpleasant smell
It was a very smart pub with great staff.
Breakfast was amazing.
Room was set up very nice on arrival.
The problem was the smell of the drains. It was so strong coming from the bath and we felt we couldnt escape it. We had to open the windows even though we wanted to be warm.
It was a real shame as it was a nice room.
Had a very enjoyable couple nights here. Friendly staff and excellent food - not the biggest portion sizes I've ever seen but plenty for us. Room in loft space was very comfortable but would be difficult to access with any mobility issues. Would certainly recommend.
