This hotel was great! Mark greeted us at the door, was super welcoming, friendly and helpful after a very negative, stressful experience with another property which we chose to not stay in so this was a very last minute booking. Regardless of this being last minute, check in was super easy and quick and everything was sorted out for us bearing in mind we had literally booked the room about 5 minutes before arrival! The room was super comfortable, spacious and the building had loads of character which was lovely. We felt very safe and welcome. It also had great facilities, everything you needed and my partner didnt stop raving about the comfortable bed! Super happy, would definitely stay again. Thank you very much to Mark and the team for a great stay!

Wonderful stay at this charming risto-pub/hotel! The room was small but very cozy, and I had the best shower of my life—the water was perfectly warm! Our room was well-equipped with towels, a hairdryer, shampoo, and other essentials. Also, always happy when I find a kettle and some tea for a morning cup! The owner was super welcoming—such a nice host! A great choice for a one-night stay, especially for those visiting the Cotswolds. Plus, the free parking in front of the hotel was a great bonus!

The area lacks a bit in restaurants, but luckily there's a Tesco below the hotel where you can buy food and drinks.

The staff very extremely helpful. We were walking the Thames path with our dog and had managed to get very wet and muddy. Mark was so helpful in getting us sorted. A lovely hot shower and very comfortable bed. Perfect at the end of a very long walk. We ate in the restaurant. The food was delicious Kenyan/English fusion. The restaurant staff were so cheerful and very happy to help us with our menu decisions.

The code system to get back into the building is really the only drawback. We should have written them down and taken a photo so we had them on our phone. We liked being able to leave independently in the morning and had no trouble exciting via the fire exit but this might be difficult for those less mobile.

Great location in the centre of Cricklade on the High Street. Looks like the rooms have been recently decorated. My room was small but comfortable. The shower was great. Easy reach to restaurants, the Thai behind the Vale is great. Couple of cafes to choose from nearby to have breakfast. Easy system for checking out.

The Vale does have a restaurant but it unfortunately wasn't open when I stayed. The stairs will be a problem for those with limited mobility, especially the external spiral staircase used for access when the pub is closed. Tea & coffee provided but no biscuits.

The owner Mark was really friendly and a good person. He loves the job as you can tell when you meet him. The hotel was amazing, nice quiet and peaceful rooms. The food was delicious in the Indian and Thai restaurants that belong to the pub. The staff were really friendly and really helpful. They were really nice and happy people. The price was very good and the price of the food was very good. Definitely will be back in the new year.

Mark was an absolute pleasure to meet, he greeted us all with a smile and chatted away with you and it felt as though you were regular customers. We stayed in the winning room for 4 in a bed . This room was amazing 🤩We would all definitely 💯 stay here again . You must eat here the authentic food was absolutely amazing 🤩 and the cook even came to each table to see if you enjoyed your food. We visit goa in India often so the food was definitely 💯

The atmosphere! Not only were the staff incredibly friendly and helpful but the other guests went out of their way to make you feel welcome too. I was expecting cheap and cheerful - I especially got the cheerful! And the Thai food was great too - not to mention that the owner moved heaven and earth to make sure I got it!

The back staircase. The pub is closed in the morning and to leave you have to exit via a very tight exterior spiral staircase. It’s no fun with a large suitcase. Please note that this is a quibble rather than a major issue - I navigated it perfectly safely and I’m sure that the management are aware of the issue (they seem both enthusiastic and proactive).

Warm welcome from host. Shown to room with excellent communication. Room single as booked. Super clean. Super comfortable bed Fast stable wifi Surprisingly quiet at night given on main roads which is plagued by constant heavy vehicles and traffic. Excellent value right in the heart of historic Cricklade

Suggest remove or modify motion sensor light in bathroom. It might be a good idea in daytime but is horrible when you have to get up in the night. Bright light known to restart the circadian rhythm and makes it difficult to go back to sleep. Despite the very comfy bed!

Rooms were very clean, staff friendly and welcoming, good sized rooms, and a solid location for exploring the Cotswolds by car. Plenty of charm about the place too.

The fire escape spiral staircase that is used as the only entry and exit point for guests when reception isn't open is pretty dangerous, as other reviewers have said. I slipped down one of the steps one morning when it was wet. I'm quite strong and fairly young, if I was an old chap, I might well have fallen down the stairs. They'll have an guest accident on their hands at some point if they don't change this arrangement.

The room was great! Quiet with nice view of Cricklade. Iain, the host is not always there, but he guides you in with the appropriate door codes and directions. There is unlimited street parking almost right outside, so good in that respect too. When you leave you just lock up and pop the key in the safe outside the door. Real value for money accommodation.

The spiral staircase outside is really narrow. It was pouring with rain when I arrived so it was slippery. Not for the infirm! Odd going into an unoccupied building, but in France it happens all the time - just unusual in the UK.
