It was truly a pleasure to stay at England’s oldest inn. We loved our room, the history and the restaurant. We brought our dog as well, and it was just such a lovely weekend. Can’t wait to come back.

Sarah

Disliked: Cleanliness
Whilst the food was nice and the waitress lovely, there were some really disappointing elements to our stay…our bathroom had some unsightly grimy areas…we stayed during a heat wave and whilst no one can control the weather, the room was unbearably hot despite the use of two old and not very effective fans…we had a very poor night sleep for this reason! The path to the outside garden area had an area that looked very unsightly with rubbish and various other items. Absolutely not worth the money for this stay and would not recommend or return.

Would stay there again

My wife and I chose The Porch House for our 2 night stay in November becuase we perceived the common areas to be comfortable places to spend some down time in the Cotswolds. We were not disappointed. The Inn is very comfortable and the bar was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit small. Overall I am glad we stayed theyre and would definitely stay there again if searching for a room.

I had an amazing experience at the porch house. The staff was phenomenal. Very friendly and willing to assist as needed. The room was very clean and the bed was pretty comfortable. I even ate at their restaurant and the food was delicious. There is long-term parking down the street that is easy use. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.

Don’t Miss Out!

As a lover of history, you cannot find a better place that a spot that has been operating for a thousand years! Clean, comfortable where the staff are super friendly and welcoming. If you want to immerse yourself in the Cotswolds, start here! The food at the restaurant was amazing as well!

Travelling through the Cotswolds.

Only a one night stay but stay was great. From check in staff, bar and restaurant staff and the cleaners we met when we arrived and departed were all great, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is excellent for a real taste of the Cotswolds and our meal in the restaurant in the evening, and breakfast in the morning were great also.

Hotel looks better on the internet.

The hotel is very old and quaint, however, a lot of the decor looked very tired and worn out. Couldn't tell if it was tired or just needed a good cleaning. The bathroom was not equipped well. No tissues or wash clothes. Window shade in the room was not working well. Bed was comfortable and sheets seemed fine. The access to the room was difficult because of some very narrow and low ceiling stairs. Staff wasn't overly friendly and they seemed frazzled and under staffed. We did have a very good meal in the restaurant.

This is a lovely historic property with a great restaurant. The only thing that could be improved is the WiFi. It was non-existent in our room and in the public areas we were required to give personal information and allow our phones to be tracked to use it. We chose not to.
