Rooms include stylish doubles with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi, while the signature Apartment offers separate living and sleeping areas with a kitchenette. The inn serves gourmet British cuisine, with house specialties like sautéed scallops, grilled lobster, and a 16oz chateaubriand, alongside vegetarian options and an extensive wine list. Guests can enjoy live sports in The Stable Bar, which doubles as an event space, or relax in the light-filled restaurant.

“This hotel's prime location in the heart of town, coupled with recent, high-quality renovations, makes it a standout choice. The comfortable rooms, some designed as family suites, and the excellent food served downstairs contribute to its appeal. I think it's a very solid option for those looking for value and convenience in Cirencester.”
