Great night in Faringdon
What a gem, a great one night stopover at a fantastic old coaching house in the Cotswolds. Great host and staff, fabulous food, special mention to the chef and a great wine list to compliment .

We stayed two nights b&b in a dog friendly room. It was as we expected, an old coaching inn and busy bars. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was very good and the staff were attentive. Good value for money

Feedback on Stay
I had a wonderful experience considering there was a 3 day music festival right outside the Inn. I had a slight issue with parking and luggage but the whole experience had been wonderful. The Hotel Manager upgraded my room.

An amazing stay and highly recommended 👌
Stayed for a couple of nights to meet up with family. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Had an evening meal with the family and was blown away by the flavour and exceptional cooking techniques on display.....highly recommended so dont mias the opportunity to sample.
The icing on the cake, showing excellence in customer service, was when I tried and failed to book a taxi, a member of staff gave a lift to my wife and I to our destination without blinking an eye...superb.
Will definitely stay when I'm visiting the area in the future

Lovely place to stay - friendly and welcoming staff. We loved our spacious room which was clean and comfortable, and the history of the building. Tasty breakfast and we enjoyed some drinks in JJ’s bar. We will stay again!
