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 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.

Fantastic Stay!

helpful stafffriendly staffgreat hospitabilityinteresting conversation
I found the staff very helpful and friendly. They assisted with our large suitcases. A staff member helped us carry the suitcases to our room on the first floor. I also appreciated the hospitability from the staff serving breakfast. She made sure we were well looked after and struck up interesting conversations, even telling us more about the B&B.
The room was a bit small.
