   Beautiful venue let down by unprofessional staff. Welcome was very underwhelming - no warm welcome, no one there to take care of your coats. Overfamiliar and pushy waiter spoiling a relaxed dining experience.

   Excellent food - really a cut above - and much better value than other places in the Cotswolds in terms of quality. Lovely atmosphere and staff could not be more accommodating. Recommend without hesitation.

   Thoroughly enjoyed dining here. Excellent food and service made our evening feel effortless and allowed us time to focus on us and our time. Excellent wine list for various budgets with a fabulous sommelier who absolutely understood us and made an exceptional recommendation. Food was exquisite and thoroughly enjoyed. Ambience was just right. A memorable evening for all the right reasons.

    One of the best restaurant meals I’ve had in a very long time. Everything was perfect and we will certainly return.
