On holiday nearby, drove past the pub advertising 'Sunday Lunch' etc, families welcome. How further from the truth. Were told we could come in, but that they hadn't got 'spare' food for the menu and that we'd have to wait to see what everyone else wanted and then have whats left - more likley to be a 'chilli curry' for...

This is a lovely small country inn with motel style rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious with comfortable beds and large TV. The bathrooms are a little dated but are clean and the food is very good. Breakfast is particularly nice. The location is a little away from the main Cotswold attractions but within easy driving distance and this is... More

We have visited the bird in hand on a number of occasions and although last year we felt the atmosphere was lack lustre the food was great and our room was clean. How dissapointed to arrive for a break earlier in the month to find when we went for dinner the most uninteresting selection ever, we were struggling for choice... More

Just returned from a lovely weekend staying at the bird in hand. The rooms were large, clean and extremely comfortable. The main pub was lovely with a nice log fire and fresh flowers the perfect proper English pub. The owners and rest of the staff were so nice and made you feel at home and relaxed. We especially loved meeting... More

We stayed here for my friend and her sisters wedding last year and were overall disappointed. When we walked into our bedroom the ceiling was covered in spiders. I do have a fear of them so it doesn't help but my fiancee actually removed 12 of them! There seemed to be an overall lack of attention to cleaning of the... More

My husband and I stayed at the bird in hand for an anniversary, the customer service was good and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious and clean and the bed was really big and comfortable. The food was good with a large and varied menu and the bar and restaurant had a really cosy feel.... More

Why are so many hotels let down by attention to detail. The room at the The BIrd in Hand was spacious and very comfortable. Lots of tea, coffee and milk. However, the shower was just a trickle and I would not have wanted to wash my hair under it. In the evening none of the outside lights were on and... More

Very warm welcome from the staff on arrival.Food good and cooked to order including breakfast. Rooms outside main hotel surrounding separate courtyard, rather like a motel but much better quality. Rooms cold at first but fixed when referred to management. Comfortable beds. Altogether a splendid 2 night stay away at a very reasonable price. Location excellent for local visits. More
