Big, clean comfortable room, ideal for a family of 4. Staff were excellent and food at dinner and breakfast were really good - a good step up from standard pub food. Home made cookies, and crayons and activity sheets for the kids in the room were a lovely addition.
Nice venue in the centre of town with plenty of onsite parking.
Room was clean & tidy and bottled water was provided alongside teas, coffee & milk.
Barvwas well stocked, staff were very friendly and efficient.
Food was of a high standard and delicious.

Place was great ! Staff were excellent and the manager was fantastic!
Was there for 3 nights, the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The breakfast was good, the only downside I felt is the breakfast timing. It starts only by 8:00, but they're are happy to pack you something if you let them know in advance.
Very pleasant staff. Our courtyard room was comfortable and surprising very quiet - would book the same room again. Rather drab outside but ……
Tourist information was extremely helpful. This was virtually opposite so we were able to learn more about the town and have a short informed walk around .
Tucked away in a picturesque English village of Milktown (Meksham) this hotel offers a truly memorable stay that blends comfort, character, and convenience. The rooms are cozy and well-appointed, with just the right balance of modern amenities and traditional charm. Room 6 was very quiet.
One of the standout features is the on-site restaurant and pub—a real gem. The menu offers hearty, beautifully prepared meals using local ingredients, and the pub atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing on the patio with a pint. The breakfast, included with the room, was generous and satisfying each morning (the toast was perfect and the eggs yokes bright orange!)
Staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall ambiance reflects the care and pride taken in running this establishment. The in room heaters worked great and the beds while stiff were comfortable
We had roooms in the converted stables and they were great. The accessible room was perfect for someone with poor mobility.
The food was good, but the service in the restaurant was extremely slow, waiting almost an hour after ordering for cereal and croissants for breakfast. However, the staff were lovely and very apologetic.
Probably should have done a little more investigating RE the hotel as I'm not from the area and didn't realise it was positioned above a pub of the same/similar name. As a family with 2 youth children (4 and 6 years old) checking in on a Saturday evening and hoping to get some rest after a long day, we were met with a live band and a lot of noisy punters, which is absolutely fair as it's a pub after all on a Saturday night. Although, after the music shut down there was a lot of stomping around upstairs by the rooms, either from other hotel residents or the noisy lot downstairs, who knows. Just a heads up to other families to perhaps look elsewhere if you're passing through and need some decent rest. Otherwise, staff were great, room was otherwise cosy and quite large, which is always nice, and the breakfast was really decent as well. Can't fault that at all.

Comfortable stay in a decent sized room with lovely coffee!
Food was good and staff friendly.
My only criticism was that the bathroom needs renovation. Had a shower curtain,which you dont ecpect now, and a bit tired looking around bath/ shower.
