My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were amazing, well-appointed, and spacious, but being situated above the bar was a bit noisy, especially on a Monday night. The service was really pleasant and accommodating, but some staff seemed new and in training. The location was ideal for traveling in the area but had a bit of noise during my stay. The dining options were nice with lots of choices, although some areas could use improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor hiccups.

I had a cozy stay at the hotel, with great rooms that had character and modern comfort, though they could get a bit stuffy due to the Grade 2 listed building. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, with helpful staff at reception but some in training and encounters with a rude guest's dog at the bar. The location offered a vibrant atmosphere in a typical English Inn setting, despite some noise and cleanliness issues. The dining experience was nice, with a good variety of dishes to choose from at a reasonable price. Overall, a mixed but memorable experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were charming and spacious, although it was a bit disappointing that the room above the kitchen only had a shower. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we felt welcome and safe during our visit. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Cirencester, making it easy to explore the town. The dining experience was mostly enjoyable, although there were some issues with cold food due to understaffing. Overall, a great value for the money.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit too hot and shabby, lacking some cozy charm, but at least they were affordable. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff making me feel safe and well taken care of. The location was absolutely perfect, full of history and character, despite some lingering smoke smell issues. Dining options varied, with some meals being a hit and others missing the mark. Overall, a mixed experience but with some standout positives.

The hotel offers a decent stay with a fairly good selection at breakfast, but the radiator in the room was a bit chilly initially. Some maintenance is required in the bathroom, such as a damaged door. However, the hotel was a pleasant place to return to each evening.

The dining experience was fine overall, but I was surprised that I had to pay extra for a latte in a 5-star hotel. The buffet had limited options with just a few croissants, cereal, and some slices of pineapple.
