We loved this property, the location and the staff. The front house manager works very hard and runs an excellent ship. The barkeep and restaurant staff were friebadly and the food was fantastic. We are returning from Vancouver in May to stay again. It was a great base for so much beautiful walking. The local shops are lovely and the Old Bakery tea house is 1 moment down the road, tell Alan we sent you. He is a local gem.🇨🇦

The property was what I expected but all the services were run on a shoe string. Checking in at the bar. Ordering drinks at the bar along with other casual visitors for a drink. Restaurant was fully booked. I was offered a table in the bar, which I didn't mind, but I had to queue at the bar to place my order. There was no consideration to you being a resident. Residents bar and lounge area was non operational.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Whilst the food was nice and the waitress lovely, there were some really disappointing elements to our stay…our bathroom had some unsightly grimy areas…we stayed during a heat wave and whilst no one can control the weather, the room was unbearably hot despite the use of two old and not very effective fans…we had a very poor night sleep for this reason! The path to the outside garden area had an area that looked very unsightly with rubbish and various other items. Absolutely not worth the money for this stay and would not recommend or return.

Great hotel...thought it was pretty cool that it's the oldest inn in England. We had dinner at the hotel one night and food and service was very good. Breakfast also delicious and made to order!! The location is very convenient to shopping and other restaurants. There is not hotel parking available, but paid parking is nearby. Our room was on the second floor and no lift in the hotel. A staff member carried our bags up the stairs for us. Everyone was very pleasant.

Hotel looks better on the internet.

The hotel is very old and quaint, however, a lot of the decor looked very tired and worn out. Couldn't tell if it was tired or just needed a good cleaning. The bathroom was not equipped well. No tissues or wash clothes. Window shade in the room was not working well. Bed was comfortable and sheets seemed fine. The access to the room was difficult because of some very narrow and low ceiling stairs. Staff wasn't overly friendly and they seemed frazzled and under staffed. We did have a very good meal in the restaurant.

Would stay there again

My wife and I chose The Porch House for our 2 night stay in November becuase we perceived the common areas to be comfortable places to spend some down time in the Cotswolds. We were not disappointed. The Inn is very comfortable and the bar was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit small. Overall I am glad we stayed theyre and would definitely stay there again if searching for a room.

I even ate at their restaurant and the food was delicious. There is long-term parking down the street that is easy use. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.
