Absolutely excellent!

We booked for a weekday night and enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful stay. The staff were incredibly kind and made everything clear from the moment we arrived. Upon entering our room, we were instantly impressed by the clean, spacious, and beautifully presented accommodation. It featured a large bathroom, a big TV, a kettle, a fridge, and a very comfortable bed. We even had a stunning view from our large open window overlooking the front car park (a lovely car park!). Breakfast was included the next morning and it was absolutely delicious. The team was very accommodating of my wife's dietary requirements, reassuring us about the gluten-free options and putting us completely at ease. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, greeting us with calmness and big smiles. A big thank you to the pub manager for all her help. We highly recommend this spot for a relaxing night away or a few days’ holiday. We’ll absolutely be booking another visit soon!

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.

Perfect Cotswolds overnight!

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.

On the edge of the Cotswolds.

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.
