Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Horse & Groom is a lovely historic building in a great location for visiting Cotswolds attractions, with comfortable communal areas that many guests appreciate. The rooms are well-equipped, and dog owners particularly love the thoughtful touches like treat baskets, beds, and bowls provided for their pets. Some guests have found the rooms to be on the smaller side. Guests consistently praise the very good food and reasonable prices, particularly the breakfast, which offers plenty of choice, and it's also just a few miles from Stow-on-the-Wold.
