A very friendly welcome, family room was clean and tidy and nice & warm. Excellent pub food - definitely worth pre-booking a table as gets very busy. Breakfast was excellent too. Great service, lovely place from which to explore. Would happily stay again!

Realy nice location opposite the church. Food was good. Breakfast choice was excellent, but a 45 minute wait seemed a little lengthy!

The bathroom needs some TLC. There's a smell in there that wasn't pleasant. The shower cubicle is worn and unsightly. There's mold in the corner of the shower..

We were pleased with the breakfast on Sunday morning as we could order off a menu but then the next 2 mornings was only a few small items to pick from. Monday morning there was a person to help out if we needed anything but Tuesday morning there was no one to be found. When I went to pay for the stay (it said to pay at property) I had to leave the money with cleaning staff. Then I get an email that says they charged my card on the first day so they ended up keeping my money and putting a credit on my card. We were frustrated with lack of communication and the idea that no one was there to check you out and take your key was baffling to us. Otherwise everything was fine.

Will be here all day listing all the good about this pub/hotel. The only gripe i had, was having to go out and buy my own milk in the morning, for coffee and cereal, only a pittance was provided in the communal fridge, i noticed it in the evening before bed, assuming the staff would check and replace for guests in the morning, they did not.

Very welcoming and helpful Staff. Room was comfortable, with everything as advertised. It was a bit noisy some nights as the rooms are above the pub but you are warned of this and earplugs are provided. Food in the restaurant is very good, with good choices. We stayed three nights. The village is lovely and has good access to the rest of the Cotswolds. Would definitely stay again.

Room was pretty small but comfortable and spotless. The lovely Sun Inn staff are open that there may be some noise from the pub… so we were forewarned.. they provided ear plugs… but actually it wasn’t too bad at all. Full English breakfast was second to none-Absolutely delicious!
