Great pub in a lovely village
Unfortunately due the heatwave the room was to small & it was like sleeping in an oven, I appreciate it wasn’t the owners fault , but a fan just didn’t do the job , we had our dog with us , happy to say it’s very dog friendly , the food was excellent especially the breakfast , would return in cooler weather

Excellent stay - a really nice big room, spotlessly clean with all the facilities you could need. For me the bed was too firm, but that's my back. Not easy to please!
Thank you for a lovely stay.

A very friendly welcome, family room was clean and tidy and nice & warm. Excellent pub food - definitely worth pre-booking a table as gets very busy. Breakfast was excellent too. Great service, lovely place from which to explore. Would happily stay again!

Room near stairs so can hear quite a lot of the buzz of activity particularly at cleanup. Staircase creaking whenever anyone goes up or down.

Nice overnight stay
Just a quick overnight stay before an event the following day
Room was small but had everything we needed & space for the dog
Continental breakfast was taken in the room, adequate but a stay atvthe weekend where a proper breakfast is available would have been nice!
Staff welcoming & we ate an evening meal there which was very good

Realy nice location opposite the church.
Food was good.
Breakfast choice was excellent, but a 45 minute wait seemed a little lengthy!

The bathroom needs some TLC.
There's a smell in there that wasn't pleasant.
The shower cubicle is worn and unsightly.
There's mold in the corner of the shower..

Lovely stay at The Sun Inn.
Very welcoming and helpful Staff. Room was comfortable, with everything as advertised. It was a bit noisy some nights as the rooms are above the pub but you are warned of this and earplugs are provided. Food in the restaurant is very good, with good choices. We stayed three nights. The village is lovely and has good access to the rest of the Cotswolds. Would definitely stay again.

Will be here all day listing all the good about this pub/hotel.
The only gripe i had, was having to go out and buy my own milk in the morning, for coffee and cereal, only a pittance was provided in the communal fridge, i noticed it in the evening before bed, assuming the staff would check and replace for guests in the morning, they did not.
