    We had a wonderful stay here. The Inn is surrounded by pretty English countryside, so quaint and exactly what you would want for a country escape. The room was decorated nicely, very clean, cosy and comfortable. The pub itself is lovely and rustic, breakfast delicious with lots of options (hot and cold) and staff very friendly. Thanks especially to Dennis who made sure we had a great stay. We had a problem with the shower in our room running water that was too hot and couldn’t be adjusted, and were moved to another room.

    Be nice if you could prebook scones with tea after a long journey when you arrive in the afternoon. Tray replenished if staying more than one night

    Lovely Cotswold pub in a beautiful rural location

    I'd have to think extra hard to fill this box, so I'll go with extra coffee in the room, but that is not a dealbreaker at all!

    I had a brilliant stay at The Plough. The team were lovely and the surroundings beautiful. It was quiet and I slept really well. The decor was really nice. I felt at home.

    Would happily have stayed longer so the only thing I didn’t like was the shortness of my visit.

    Lovely choice for breakfast, served my favourite smashed avocado with poached egg. Evening meal was also very tasty, small menu but still a good variety, loved the vegetarian pie. Great, quiet location, extremely friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful, quintessential English Inn.

    Unfortunately the room I stayed in had a really infuriating problem with its door. I had an early supper and wanted to get a good night’s sleep. I don’t know if the room was directly above the boiler room but the door started vibrating similar to the sound of a washing machine moving on a hard floor during a spin cycle! If you want against it the noise stopped but far too loud and irritating to be able to sleep. I ended up repacking my case and putting that against the door which worked. Presumably the heating went off later and it then stopped. Started again when I was getting ready for breakfast. I did mention t r he problem when I left. I Wouk. Have felt less irritated if an offer of even a small discount had been offered but this wasn’t the case. I hope they sorted the problem out swiftly as the room itself was fine and a great spot with good food. I had particularly chosen it for its peaceful location so this problem was somewhat ironic!

    The breakfast was excellent. I also had dinner which was great. Good staff.

    This was a very last minute trip with friends from Argentina who were visiting us and it worked soo well! The place is very cute, the restaurant was a great addition to have to finish a long day of hikings around Costwolds, our dog was not only well received but also treated like a king, with the staff bringing him treats and water all the time. Very nice rooms and comfortable beds. Lovely beer garden outside… all in all, the perfect place to stay. We will come back.

    The property was beautiful - so warm and welcoming. The bar and restaurant were lovely and welcoming, and the room was so warm and comfortable (with the most amazing shower and expensive toiletries). But the best thing was the hospitality of Vincent and his team 😊 we had the best stay!

    I had a single room where the shower appeared to have no cold water. It was very hot. The television initially didn't work, but I eventually traced the problem to a dodgy plug. I mentioned this to the staff and they went above my expectations in resolving the matter.

    A beautiful old inn, perfect for the Thames Path. Staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The bar area was cosy with good beers. The dinner was extremely good and well above good pub food. Breakfast was also delicious. I had some issues with my room, which were resolved above what I expected.

    Minor thing was that we were in a room right above the kitchen. This meant that there was quite a bit of door slamming in the evening and a noisy fan that ran all night

    Beautiful old pub in a fantastic location with a lovely pub garden. We had both dinner and breakfast and the food and service were both fantastic! We traveled over with family to rent a boat for the day which I can also really recommend if you're looking for something to do

    Didn't like having to get up for my work and having less time over great breakfasts.

    Location was great. I was staying there for work so didn't get the opportunity to explore. It's ideal of course for William Morris fans being situated in the Village of Kelmscott where Morris lived for a time at the Manor. Typical English pub. Comfortable, not pretentious and the locals were really friendly. My type of pub!
