Everything! Can't rate this charming, quaint Inn highly enough. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. We arrived earlier than the designated check in time due to an early flight time and the staff kindly allowed us to freshen up in another room until our own room was ready. The bedrooms are stunning and we genuinely have never slept so soundly. The mattresses are so comfortable you literally don't want to get up. The aesthetics of the Inn are so apt for respecting the old and timeless traditions while enhancing the new. The Inn has a lovely mix of vintage decor with also new touches of comfort and warmth. You will happily soak up the environment and ambiance this beautiful Inn has to offer. The food and drinks were lovely too. The Inn is located 15 mins drive from the lovely town of Stratford Upon Avon which is steeped in history and also equally aesthetically pleasing. If you're interested in Diddly Squat Farm or possibly seeing the famous proprietor it's about 35 mins drive away and is well worth a visit. The area has lots to do or is also perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The fresh wild flower arrangements were absolutely stunning too. There were fresh floral displays on each dining table and it was a lovely touch. We'll definitely return and have already recommended it to family and friends.
I wouldn't change a thing. The place is perfect.
There is nothing that needs to be improved.
I feel very fortunate to have found this place on booking.com.

The breakfasts were amazing. We loved our room and would like to return and try the room on the ground floor I think it is the garden room. Being 'older' we did find the sockets in the oak room rather low and our tea and coffee making facility was rather low too, but all things considered we had a lovely time. The staff were excellent we felt very welcome and were made very comfortable.
The level of the sockets. The level of the tea /coffee makong facility was also low. (Creaky knees and backs)

Staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food exceptional, good choice of vegan options. Quiet location in Cotswolds, ideal for exploring other local villages, or Stratford and Warwick. Each room is individually decorated with comfortable beds and furnishings.
I really don't like to complain as staff and facilities are excellent. However we were staying in 2 rooms in the block built on to back of original pub building, and heating was not working properly. They tried to fix 3 times during our 3 night stay - the radiators would heat up for 2 hours but then not come back on again, so was very cold. We were glad that a free standing radiator was provided for my elderly parents and we were provided with a hot air plug in heater. But this was an issue during this visit. Have stayed several times over last 10 years and never had problems before

beautiful old charm pub with generous sized upmarket bedrooms. good restaurant on site with parking, generous selection of teas, coffee, biscuits and toiletries. lovely our white fluffy towels.
A number of cobwebs in the room and a strange fusty smell in the bedroom and bathroom, perhaps it hadn’t been used recently, the smell went after we opened the windows. The pillows looked lovely and fluffy, but disappeared to nothing as soon as you put your head on them, impossible to find a comfortable position! But these were minor points which didn’t detract from a lovely stay.

We loved most things about the place, but the food cost as much as the room which was a bit shocking. You're a bit of a captured audience and there's not much else to eat anywhere close. Other than this we loved the place, it was lovely, quiet, romantic and great rooms.
The price of the food.
