Simply beautiful surroundings of the Cotswolds! This little B&B is more than that. The rooms are so cosy and more like little cottages. The pub and restaurant attached to this place are an ideal addition to this great stay. Electric hookups for caravan and camper vans too! Fabulous!

The Thames Head Inn is a great gem. It's about a 1 mile walk from the Kemble train station, I walked alongside the road since taxi service is scarce and had no problems. There aren't any other businesses nearby, so I ate dinner there as well (delicious) and paid for breakfast the next morning (also delicious). I hiked to the nearby source of the River Thames, which was neat to see. The room was clean, had a blackout curtain, and a private bathroom. The area was quiet overall and I didn't have any noise from my neighbors or the campers. Overall a really great find and I would definitely stay here again.

No shower in the en suite bathroom was disappointing - just a shower head on the taps. But the food was perfect and the staff super friendly, helpful and professional.
