Nice place which is dog friendly. Room was clean and comfortable, bar and restaurant inviting, great breakfast options and evening meal was delicious. Easy parking and location quiet but easily accessible for exploring nearby places of interest. Would definitely recommend.

Cute and quaint inn located in the Cotswolds. Food was good and presented quite nice at their restaurant (we had breakfast and dinner). Lovely and very nice staff. Would recommend this inn if you are interested in seeing Bibury and Bourton-on-the-water since it is quite close.

Very cramped room (4).
Unfortunately, the room we were given (4) was very small, no room for a seat anywhere, so even if you wanted to watch a bit of TV we had to do so in some discomfort on the bed, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly it's in an idea location, on busy evenings the car park got full & if you get back early evening you may need to park on the road.

Dear Ian, sorry to hear that you thought your room was very small, but we do advertise the room sizes on our web site and we have much bigger rooms and suites available. Thank you for your nice comments about our staff, much appreciated by them all. Kind Regards The Lamb Inn Team.

Disappointed
It was not as expected for the marketed price of £207 per room. Yes, it was old and rickety which is expected. Ensuite was a bit of a shambles, refurbished but on a shoe string. The restaurant was spartan, lacking comfort. The only place to go apart from your room was a basic public bar.

Response from Geordie Boy on 10 Nov 2023
Dear Maureen, we are obviously disappointed to read your review and the comments you made about your stay. Our prices are in line with all similar local establishments and we think our rooms are value for money. We don't understand what you mean by "The ensuite is a bit of a shambles" and the designer who organised the refurbishment wouldn't be very happy to read that you felt it was "refurbished on a shoestring". There is a lounge area which contains the check in desk has several comfortable sofas for the guests to use if they don't want to stay in their rooms or have a drink in the bar. Regards The Lamb Inn Team,

Lovely pub and village setting
We stayed in the Rissington Suite - great room and very comfortable bed. Uncomfortable sofa within the suite so not comfy for watching TV in the evening. Bathroom excellent and very clean. Food was excellent although maybe a little overpriced. I would have liked to have herbal tea in the room for after dinner and maybe more healthy breakfast (fruit, natural yogurt etc) - but that is being very picky. The team were definitely very helpful and friendly and overall a great stay.

Room for improvement
Room was okay. Bathroom clean. Disappointed by lack of finishing touches....for example the window sill was very dirty. Carpet needed a proper hoovering. Restaurant lacked any atmosphere, no view for us. Food was good but expected a bit better. Staff were friendly enough but overall, it didnt feel particularly welcoming.

A lovely old building, with lots of charm. Don’t expect state of the art shower or super flat floors as some parts of the building are 300 years old. The food was excellent as were the staff, very friendly and engaging.

Beautiful Cotswold village surrounding this truly one of a kind 400 year old Inn. Tastefully restored and updated so as not to change the character or feel of the historic nature. Unfortunately the Salmon at Breakfast did not sit well. I am still recovering.

Overall the stay was mediocre. The room (classic suite) was suitable for an overnight stay (I would switch out to sliding doors for the wardrobe and bathroom). The pricing of the food \ drinks are expensive even for the area Circa £4 per dish Circa £1 - 2 per drink Hospitality was a bit "cold and icy". Not entirely sure if this was down to us, however we were greeted coldly and when having breakfast were not asked for another cup of coffee when other tables around us were offered coffee 3 times.

Appalling customer service
I was apalled with the customer service . I asked before arrivals they due to family issues I would like to keep the booking and pay upfront for two nights as originally requested but I may not physically show up till Saturday morning and could they please not cancel the Saturday night if this was the case . I was told they would cancel if I didn’t show up Friday night despite them missing no revenue as I was paying for two nights and as alone would not be using the bar or restaurant . They then ignored requests to see this policy on hotels . Com or anywhere . When I arrived I received no pleasantries at all just taken to my room . Really disappointed with customer service on this matter .

Dear Nicola I undersatnd your negatitve comments due to the fact you did not agree with the terms and conditions of your booking. As advised if you fail to turn up on the night agreed you will be processed as a no show with your full booking being cancelled. You also tried to amend the stay to a single Saturday night that we do not offer due to a two night stay policy in place over a weekend. Regards Paul

We could not have lunch when we arrived but friendly and very helpfull reception gave us early check in and we did some sightseeing and came back to a lovely dinner with good service.

We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our Inn and thank you for your recommendation. Our property is over 300 years in places and is Grade 2 listed. As such we are unable to make any major changes to the structure and the low ceilings and quirky sloping floors are due to the age of the building. Kind Regards The Lamb Inn Team.

Our room was lovely and had a real Cotswolds feel to it. The food at the Lamb Inn was extremely tasty. We ate there both nights of our stay. The Inn is really dog friendly and there were no issues with our dog being with us at dinner. The Inn is not too far from the surrounding villages and they were only a short car drive away. The only thing we would improve is that our room was above reception and we could hear everything when people were talking there. We would definitely recommend this Inn and look forward to returning in the future.

Dear Eloise, thank you so much for posting your complimentary review. We are delighted to hear that you found everything to your satisfaction and note your comment about the room noise. We have done what we can & installed "sound proof" flooring to try and reduce the noise level, but as parts of our main building is over 300 years old and is Grade 2 listed we are restricted as to how much we can modify the existing premises. That aside we look forward to welcoming you back to The Lamb on another occasion. Kind Regards The Lamb Inn Team.
