These were some of the best rooms we stayed in during our UK trip. Unfortunately the room conditioning was not working, but they were able to supply space heaters. Overall, a great experience!
Highly recommend the Kingshead due to the location and the quality of service they provide. The rooms are superb and spacious. The staff treat you like family and it is truly the best place to stay on the Cotswolds
The hotel lobby, dining room and rooms are very nicely decorated. It was a great place to spend a few days and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We truly loved our stay.
A lovely, well preserved hotel of vintage Cotswold charm. Plus the staff were lovely!

Room was spotless but very cold. Warm air heating which took nearly 6 hours to heat the room. Desk fragile and bits of it falling off. Good shower. Freshly cooked biscuits with tea and coffee
We did not use the spa , and had breakfast on 2 mornings and an evening meal on one night. The food and service were fine. The staff were attentive but not overly so.
Lovely room, nice bathroom. The main lights were very dim in the room and the lamps didn’t work. The air con/heating was very helpful because the windows were single glazed. Very comfy beds. We didn’t choose to pay for extra breakfast but the buffet was fine for a quick bite. Although, some of the pastries were a little tough.
The Suite was super charming! One of the most unique hotel rooms we’ve ever stayed in and I would highly recommend it! Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay.
Even though the main down stairs wasn’t open due to reverb we had a lovely time of the terrace bar. Rooms were amazing and so beautifully accommodating for dogs. Only thing we would say is the staff didn’t clear the tables quickly so a lot of messy tables but over al we can’t wait to come back, thank you

Room and amenities were great, spacious room, well equipped, comfortable bed and everything you need in the bathroom and shower.
The staff were ok, polite and just friendly enough but don't go above and beyond to make your stay quite special.
On arrival we had to ask for the WiFi password, we were referred to a welcome letter that was meant to be on the room but there was nothing there. The following day there was a sporting event and nobody mentioned that access to and from the town would be limited. Small details that actually matter. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Room cold, particularly the bathroom which only had heated towel rail on at limited time. Huge draft from single glazed sash window.
Breakfast very poor; undercooked and inedible on first day and overcooked and tasteless on second day.
Staff, as ever, were delightful and helpful.
