The Amberley Inn in Stroud

We have just come back from a 2 night stay at the Amberley Inn. What a lovely stay we had we were greeted and looked after by Skye as we arrived, and on the first night in the bar and restaurant, all other staff were equally attentive. Delicious 3 course meal with wine, Perfect breakfast in the morning served by Jennifer who looked after a busy breakfast room wonderfully, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff this day too. We went to a wedding on the second night. But had another great breakfast on our last day. Rooms were lovely and clean, staff all amazing I just only took 2 names sorry to everyone else. Food was just amazing too. Can’t wait to return thank you amberley inn!

Great place to stay, very freindly staff who always assist when requierd. Room was brilliant with amazing view of the Cotswold countryside. Food in the restaurant is perfect with many dishes to choose from. Great location to explore the Cotswolds. Looking forward to staying again.

Awful, there is no way this is a 4 star.. 2 star at best.. The Room was dirty, the bed was like sleeping uphill, there was a real musky smell in the corridors and there was scum around the bathroom taps. Maybe a bit of music at breakfast? It all felt very quiet and awkward. It was also about 500 degrees in there. No sleep due to a pipe that sounded like a horse galloping down the road, i did approach the gentleman on reception to be told his maintenance man will look at it, he came in the room and listened then left and didn’t return!

This hotel was disappointing. They can't help the steep stairs and uneven floors, but they seriously need to improve the plumbing - the shower ran alternately very hot, and cold, and it wasn't easy to control. Breakfast was quite late at 8.30, and the staff were slow to serve. A polite request for toast was met with a slightly surprised 'Do you want some?'. Well, yes! And we were not impressed by much of the yoghurt being a week out of date. Poor value.

A One night stay at the Amberley inn. Situated in a small hamlet, with good dog walks on the doorstep. Lovely towns nearby. We were Upgraded to the 4 poster bed room, with beautiful views. Staff were polite and very friendly. . Meal in the bar with the dog was good. Breakfast was really nice. We would return.

Wonderfully comfortable dog friendly Inn. We stayed with our three dogs and were all made very welcome, unlike some so called dog friendly establishments! Breakfast was excellent as was the food when we had dinner in the Inn.

Some of the decor may be a little tired, but what a lovely hotel. The staff particularly Trevor and Jane couldn't do enough to accommodate us, with our demanding dog! Many thanks for having us.

Our family of 5 all enjoyed our Sunday lunch - 3 roasts & 2 ham, egg & chips accompanied by plenty of vegetables & cauliflower cheese. Service was friendly & efficient. Sadly, no room for pudding!

Had an evening meal and drinks. Fantastic service, food was delicious and great portion sizes, staff attentive and friendly. Ambience lovely especially with the fire going. Lovely pint of craft lager and they had a great selection of spirits old and new. We had a lovely couple of hours.

Stayed here for two nights.... £140 per night. Rooms: perhaps we will come back when refurbished. Room needed some attention! Food: excellent. No complaints at all.

My family were spoilt with a delicious lunch to celebrate my Dad’s 80th Birthday. The environment was simply perfect and all staff ensured the event was memorable. A special mention must go to Roli for his outstanding culinary skills and to our waitress, Amber, for her efficiency and friendliness. It really was service with a smile. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

We went to the Amberly Inn for a gathering after my mother's funeral. We had an afternoon tea for 20 people. Which was set up in the restaurant. The food was lovely the staff were very attentive. We couldn't have ask for anything better. Thank you.

A group of friends from The Netherlands made a return trip to the Cotswolds and decided to stay at The Amberley Inn because of its proximity to the common and also accepted dogs. We were made very welcome, enyoyed excelent breakfasts, a very good dinner and a lot of fun in the beer garden. The staff were excellent.

Very friendly staff. A warm welcome. They did everything to ensure another lovely visit. Dinner good. Breakfast good. Room good. One review suggests tired rooms. It does not profess to be The Ritz and if you want characterless surroundings and robotic staff go to Soho House. This place is charming. Gents - good luck to STFC and BCFC!!!

The staff here are excellent, as was the food but the room! Desperately in need if redecoration. The bathroom was grim with a mold infested window frame, dirty skirting boards and an impossible shower which got steadily hotter and hotter until forcing you out of the bath to access the controls. The location us ideal for a walking holiday with much to see and enjoy in nearby Cirencester.

We had our Christmas day lunch here this Christmas just gone. Although the overall experience was quite nice, we (2 of us) were very disappointed, when the main course arrived, to find the turkey was very salty, and the veg (because it was plated up before it came out which I thought was unusual for a restaurant of this standard) consisted of 2 small broccoli florets, just THREE brussel sprouts, THREE slices of carrot, and NONE of the traditional parsnips. For £73 a head we were very disappointed.

We were greeted with a warm welcome and taken to our table with a great view over the countryside. The food was excellent and the pudding great! Service was spot on, keeping the drinks flowing. I highly recommend a visit!

What a fabulous Sunday lunch we had last weekend. We selected the Amberley Inn to take my father there for his Birthday celebration after hearing great comments from several of our friends. The Roast selections were amazing, and they even accommodated my 93-year-old father who wanted Fish & Chips, which wasn’t even on the menu! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and we had a lovely afternoon admiring the views and free-range cows! I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back.

We booked a Christmas Day meal here last year, to say it was a disaster is an understatement, it was like faulty towers only not funny. Can I start by saying the young staff did their utmost to look after us, but unfortunately they weren’t qualified enough to handle the day, but they were wonderful and tried their best. When we turned up there, we were not greeted or shown to our table, we had to find it ourselves, there was champagne on the sideboard that we helped ourselves to, but there was no orange juice or non alcoholic drink for the driver you had to pay for that! We waited over an hour for the starter, although they did say they were running late, just not that late! The starter was satisfactory at best. We then waited for the sorbet, I think it would of been lovely, but it was served in hot manikins and was a wet warm mess, although it tasted nice! We then waited for a further 30 mins for our main meal to be served, bearing in mind we were a large table of 16, and apart from 1 person we all had the Christmas turkey roast, when I say turkey we couldn’t make out whether it was Bernard Mathews turkey or cheap turkey slices from the supermarket, as we only had 1 tiny slice each it was a job to tell! The vegetables were served on the plate, some people had sprouts some didn’t, some had black carrots some didn’t, we all had 2 boiled potatoes and only some had roasters , we all had roasted chestnuts, which were burnt and vile, oh and they forgot the pigs in blankets completely and nobody had a Yorkshire pudding. The pudding was absolutely beautiful, I think it was bought in but it was lovely, unfortunately the Christmas pudding was minute and vile, no custard or cream! Next came the cheese board which was an absolute disaster, only 2 tiny platters were bought out, no plates no,forks and only enough for maybe 6 people? We were lucky enough to be served chocolate truffles which were amazing, but unfortunately there were no forks to eat them with, no plates and again the dish they were bought in on, was hot so they melted, but I adore them like that, so i probably eat most of them. Finally we were asked if we would like tea and coffee, we all said yes, but again unfortunately there wasn’t enough cups, the coffee ran out and the milk had gone sour, by this time I think there was only 1 member of staff left and he had given up! All in all I think for 16 of us plus drinks the bill came to £1500, extortionate for the lack of food that was served and the quality of the food, We were absolutely exhausted when we left, I think the whole meal took 5 hours to serve, there was no Christmas music playing, and very poor Christmas decorations, for such an amazing place this surprised me. I emailed them the next day to complain about the meal and the service, but received a reply saying they had had no other complaints that day, which I found a bit surprising considering our disastrous meal. Plus there was only a couple of other tables of 2 when we got there at 12.45, and they were finished by the time our starter was brought in. After many many, exchanged emails I gave up and decided that our family would put it down to experience, and just never go there again. I was only after an apology and an explanation as to what went wrong on the day, not any money returned, I don’t think that was too much to expect. Anyway the moral of this story is, beware when you book there for a Christmas Day meal, you might have a shocking meal like us, and at £85 a head it might be a costly meal!

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely meal at The Amberley Inn. We were staying over the other side of the valley so after a big hill walk we were gasping for a cold drink and some food! The bar man was really attentive and couldn’t do enough for us and the food was fantastic! Lovely garden around the back too where the accommodation for the pub is.

We’re a family of four with two coeliacs, including our 10yo daughter. Eating out is often difficult, but especially when we’re away on holiday. The Amberley Inn was a breath of fresh air. The person who took our order was a fellow coeliac and reassured...

My steak was delicious, the service was okay but the building is jaded. Neither toilets were an acceptable standard.

Good choice for each time of day and an interesting variety. Utterly delicious. A treat, but not over expensive, value for money.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Quintessential English hotel. Wonderful mix of travelors and locals and cows! A splash of country meets you with a smile. I felt so at home and rather well looked after. The children had loads to explore! A must in the Cottswolds!

We stayed for one night recently. The hotel was very Covid aware. We had a room in the cottage as we had a dog with us. Our room was small for two people and the bed was very soft. The bathroom had a bath with handheld shower. The towels were lovely and the toiletries good quality.We,had dinner in the hotel which was good amd breakfast which was excellent.

We came here for lunch-we were so impressed! Starters were beautifully put together and so fresh, the mains delicious. The landlady was attentive and friendly and the fact the pub is dog friendly just made it all perfect! Highly recommended.

As a family we dine here about once a year, when we stay in the area. I wasn't sure how things would be this year, with Covid-19 - some other local restaurants were running a very reduced menu. I didn't need to be concerned -...

Visitamos para el almuerzo del domingo, muy decepcionado. El asado de nueces vegano se veía delicioso, sin embargo, no era el mejor tueste de nueces probado; pesado y pesado. El almuerzo de ternera era muy agradable, pero una alergia a la cebolla significaba que la salsa estaba exenta, pero la camarera no me lo dijo. El chef hizo muy amablemente la salsa de queso, pero no complementó la cena del domingo. En general decepcionante

La habitación en sí era de buen tamaño. Teniendo en cuenta que había un aviso laminado que decía que la habitación había sido limpiada profundamente debido al Coronovirus, había varias telarañas. Había humedad en el dormitorio, aunque era una pared exterior. El inodoro estaba bien para descargar, pero tomaría algún tiempo volver a llenarlo, por lo que no sería bueno si la segunda persona lo usaba.Nuestra cena fue normal. Mi marido tenía cordero y dijo que era espantoso, no agradable. Elegí filete de pescado que tenía varias espinas. El desayuno de la mañana siguiente pedimos té y nos dieron café. Fui a buscar a alguien para decirle y me tomaron el café pero se olvidó el té, nuevamente tuve que buscar a alguien y preguntar. Mi marido pidió desayuno inglés completo con tostadas y yo pedí huevos escalfados con tocino y tostadas. De nuevo tuve que pedirlo y llegó después de que habíamos terminado.Era una posada preciosa, pero no me volvería a alojar allí.

Visité el jardín para almorzar hace unos días. Comí Fish & Chips y Tarta de chocolate y helado. Estaba delicioso. Soy celíaco, así que esperé unos días para asegurarme de que no pasaba nada. Mi marido tenía el pudding de caramelo pegajoso con natillas y eso era tan bueno. Recomendaría mucho este lugar. Voy a probar el restaurante la próxima vez.

The food was nice enough it’s quite expensive the garlic mushrooms was just one mushroom which was a bit disappointing as it wasn’t cheap but the lamb I had was very nice

LOVED this perfect place! Came here all the way from Alabama-USA for our 25th wedding anniversary. Absolutely lived up to our expectations. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Reservamos una habitación premier esperando que fuera especial. . . . no fue Era pequeño, en mal estado con pintura descascarada y manchas de agua en la pared. Había ganchos en la pared para su ropa y muebles desiguales. El servicio era malo en el restaurante tanto para la cena como para el desayuno. Por el precio que pagamos, era pobre. La cama estaba limpia y los artículos de aseo eran agradables. Eso es todo. No lo recomendaría y no me alojaría allí de nuevo.

Reservamos aquí para las primeras noches en Cotswolds. Encantadora posada tradicional pero bastante tranquila para un viernes por la noche en fin de semana festivo.No es culpa del pub, sino que significaba un ambiente tranquilo y apacible.Personal amable y atento y menú de pub decente a buen precio. Perro amigable tambiénTuve pastel de venado, puré y guisantes. Posiblemente uno de los mejores pasteles de la historia. Pastel de mantequilla corto, venado de cocción lenta con panceta y cebollitas servidas con puré y guisantes y una salsa fantástica.Descubrí (en el mercado de agricultores de Stroud al día siguiente) que los pasteles se obtienen localmente. Hecho por Plenty! Pasteles Visita y compra ya que son excelentes! ! ! !El pato de la esposa era agradable y rosado, pero la piel no era crujiente ni estaba completamente fundida y carecía de salsaEn general, menú decente y volvería a comer allí - agacharse a un lado

¡Qué cambio refrescante encontrar un restaurante donde todo lo que puede ser no contenga gluten! Mi hija ha sido intolerante al gluten durante un par de años y salir a comer es problemático. Estuvimos aquí en los Cotswolds durante unas cortas vacaciones y, por lo tanto, no conocíamos bien los lugares. Sin embargo, el sitio web para el Amberley Inn sonaba prometedor y ciertamente estuvo a la altura de nuestras expectativas. ¡Nuestra hija estaba encantada de poder comer morrallas empanadas y luego comer pescado y papas fritas y ser tratada como un cliente normal!La camarera fue muy amable, el entorno era encantador y la decoración era agradable. Mi única reserva fue que era un poco caro. En general, una gran experiencia sin embargo.

Menu offer is above standard for a pub, but the execution is average. There were some interesting option on the menu that you would not find in ordinary country pubs, the portions were generous too, but the cooking level was inconsistent. Those of us who order more traditional options where satisfied with what was served up, but the vegetarian pasta was definitely overcooked and drenched in the (tasty) sauce. The staff were very polite when I raised this and I opted for an omelette instead as a replacement.

We come at least twice a year for a break from dull chores. Michael and his staff always give a warm and yet professional welcome. The food and service is excellent. The rooms always clean...beautifully warm in winter. Plenty of fluffy towels, complimentary toiletries.A delightful setting and a place to unwind while being looked after.

I love this pub it has such a nice atmosphere. Old panelled bar and dining room with a log fire, leather sofas. Nice views across the hills. Interesting artwork on the walls. Enjoyed a tradional ham, egg and chips.

La reserva de última hora a través de un sitio bien conocido está muy cerca de mi primera llamada de cliente del día siguiente. Habitación grande y cómoda con cuatro postes y baño muy bien equipada. La comida del menú bastante simple era excelente. El personal en general es amable y eficiente, aunque el personal del desayuno podría ser un poco más atento.

Fuimos con mi hija, pareja y 2 nietas para el almuerzo. Conseguimos el comedor en lugar de la zona del bar, que es mejor para los niños pequeños. Dos rondas de copas y un plato principal cada una. Los niños obtuvieron un 40% de descuento sobre el precio total (que todavía era mucha comida). Por precios del Reino Unido probablemente bastante estándar en Pds 105. 84.

reservado para socios cumpleaños, nos pusieron en el área del bar para una comida! Nos puso en el restaurante ya que no estaba contento, el servicio fue impactante, no se ofrecía agua en la mesa durante la comida. La comida era horrible chips eran impactantes. La ensalada era lo mejor. Tan triste que pensé que iba a ser un lugar encantador para comer. ¡Qué equivocado estaba yo! No iré allí de nuevo.

Enjoyed the location, menu and food in the bar area. Service friendly and consistently good. Menu varied, table d’hôte menu and regular. Meals were really good - tasty and well presented and a respectable sticky toffee pudding to finish. Value for money too.

Not a huge main menu (a good thing) with daily specials and a separate bar-food menu which covered all appetites. Everything freshly cooked - even the breakfasts were cooked to order and served to your table.

Had a family meal here whilst on a weekend break with our grown up children. The food was excellent, the service was superb, and it was great value.

We went to Amberley Inn and were greeted with excellent service from all the staff. They were accomodation in fitting us in. The dining room was in need of a some ambiance, background music works have helped. The meals were sound, with the exception of the sliced shop bread on the side. Must use real bread. Good location. Great social media work too.

We had booked almost a year ahead for a very special family gathering. We hadn’t seen each other in almost 9 years so choosing somewhere for our long weekend get together was very important. This was made even more so by our Mothers 70th birthday who is coeliac so being able to offer a gluten free menu was a top priority for our stay.

My sister and I stayed at The Amberley for a wedding. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, particularly the front of house and dining room and bar staff. The food was great, rooms comfy with lovely views. Highly recommend.

Pleasant area. Good priced set menu. Excellent service .Welcom ing atmosphere. parking outside. Very prompt service

This is our 4th visit and if possible it gets better each time. A traditional inn that is dog friendly(treats in the room awaited us) with a lovely cosy bar, cute garden, really comfortable rooms and exceptional customer service -every.single.time. Much of the menu is locally sourced and breakfasts are fab. This would be a lovely place anyway but the staff are so very professional, warm and friendly we’ll be back again and again-5 stars all round

We called by without booking mid week and ate in the bar. Quite a wait initially to find staff who kept disappearing off - you could do with a little bell - but we heard the owners are away which might explain some things and we weren't in a hurry. Staff very friendly and lunchtime menu ok however toast is not rocket science on an all day breakfast and oughtn't be burnt black on one side and neither should what was I think a very tasty and promising home made burger be nuked also charred at the edges. We didn't have the heart to mention it despite a longish wait, assuming the kitchen was struggling for some reason and they were fine with swapping my fries out for some good mash potato. Reading other reviews it looks like the nice evening menu is still going the squid last time was fab and perhaps we had a cover Chef this week so we remain very open minded, the inn is in such a peaceful pretty setting on the edge of the common. The art work in the snug is a good idea but a little pricey and the ground floor loos could do with lightening up / opening up somehow it's quite bijou in there for us girls! Please keep the standards up you've got a lovely Inn in a lovely location with very nice approach roads over the common.

We went to the Amberley for an evening dinner while on our holiday. The young lady who served us was friendly and helpful. However when ordering desert, where we just wanted the creme brulee and rhubarb crumble without custard, cream or ice cream we were told we had to pay the full rate, which we thought was unfair. In other establishments this can easily be taken off, not here though, with the management saying the price is the price. So we did not order as we felt this was was uncompromising. This may be a small point in the grand scheme of things but we are paying guests and a little give and take can go a along way, however NO is NO at the Amberley......We won't bother again, remember this is the hospitality industry.

I went with two friends and two dogs. We hadn't booked and the pub was busy but a spot was cheerfully found for us. A big party was just arriving so the staff - in thoughtful fashion - took our order quickly before the horde sat down. Between us we had steak (one incinerated, the other rare - perfectly cooked in each case), chips and soup. All were really good (the chips could've been crispier). I wouldn't drive out of my way to go there, but I would go back if I were in the village.

We booked in advance to the Amberley Inn. When we arrived we were seated in the bar area when we thought we had booked into the restaurant. The bar area was pleasant so we didn’t say anything. We chose what we wanted and waited. It was clear that they had forgotten about us. After a while I had to approach the bar to order. They did apologise for not coming to us.

We were very cold having walked frrom Selsey in the recent freezing weather. This place was open in the morning. The hot chocolate was perfect to warm us up. We were very impressed with the Amberley Inn.

The Amberley Inn is a really quaint, old, old building and in winter with its warm fires and friendly service it a great place to stop. We had a yum Breakfast with family who had overnighted at the inn.

Lovely food brilliant gluten free menu lovely setting. Food tasted really good and service was excellent

All the food we had was delicious and freshly prepared. Breakfasts are fab! Dinner menu had a good variety and was very reasonable for high quality fresh food.

Sunday roast was cooked to perfection! At last found a pub that serves proper crispy roast potatoes and tasty gravy (in a separate jug and plenty of it). The roast beef was tender, tasty swede mash and a medley of vegetables of mangetout, beans, cabbage, peas and carrots. Plus a huge Yorkshire pudding. My only slight negative was it could have been a bit hotter but really everything else was so perfect that this was a minor thing. Wish I hadn’t shared a starter of garlic mushrooms as good it was as I left little room for the dessert. But I couldn’t resist! I had the rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard which I could only manage a few mouthfuls of- it was really nice though. Husband had profiteroles which he enjoyed. Overheard owner saying the chef used to cook for Princess Ann. I’ve probably got the same high standards when it comes to Sunday roast so met my ‘princess’ expectations!

Upon returning to Minchinhampton after a shopping trip during the Christmas period we stopped off for a 'pub lunch'. I hadn't been here for a number of years, having only visited it for a evening meal previously in Springtime.

Sat in a lovely bar with oak panelled walls, with a big open fire, infront of me delicious shin of beef and red wine pie with powdery mash, grave and a lovely pint of Budding. Whats not to like?? How anyone can state this food is mediocre clearly does'nt know what they are talking about. Can recommend and will be back!

I used to love eating at this pub and for a couple of years we used to come nearly every week. The food used to be excellent and it is a lovely building/setting. I think that the management must have changed though. The bar menu is now uninspiring with a very limited range of sandwiches and traditional pub meals and there is a very limited selection for vegetarians. They do all day breakfasts / brunch but it was rather pricey for what you get - I had to ask for some toast as an extra with my scrambled eggs and it arrived as small triangles of bread!! Next time we'll stay home!

Welcoming staff, excellent food especially our Christmas Day dinner. Nice big room with great view across the valley. Recommend highly!

We found this pub/hotel quite by chance and what a find. We needed to find somewhere that could accommodate five people and two dogs. We arrived an hour early but still had a warm welcome, there were doggy treats on the bar and bowls of fresh water outside and in the bar. The meals were generous and served by the most lovely friendly but not intrusive staff. Despite being dog friendly the pub was spotlessly clean and the hotel simply oozed character, the type of place you would expect to find on the moors.

What can I say, a great time was spent at the Inn this weekend. There were 16 of us on our annual pre Christmas get together. We were looked after well, everyone was happy with their rooms, the food was excellent so complements to the chef. A special thank you to Michael who looked after us so well during our stay.

Family gathering of nine on a Sunday when they are busy.. Slow service, more staff?

Sometimes a menu doesn't offer the exact combination that suits the customer and it's then that 'service' becomes more than just a word. We were delighted at the proactive support from the staff to ensure that our meals were perfect for us in every respect.The final offering was only loosely related to the formal menu but it was exactly what we wanted and with no penalty on the bill. It just doesn't get better than that!

Evening meal very nice well presented Dinning room traditional layout. Staff were friendly and attentive.Good choice of breakfast in mornings.Bedroom very comfortable lovely open view to front off inn.

Firstly - extremely accommodating management! I booked the room on a non refundable basis, only for the other half of our partnership to decide that actually he was hotfooting it across to Germany for some football game that night..... Tantrums aside from me, the lovely team at The Amberley were happy for us to move out booking out to a non-work/non-football night a couple of weeks later. Once we arrived I was little freaked out by the lack of parking, but despite my references to the "hotel with no parking" - I am frequently reminded that actually I managed to park about 50yds away on a quiet road.....but hey, it wasn't a carpark (and trust me, there was an awful lot of circling and eyeing up spaces and basic stressing going on!!)Once we were finally in the hotel though it really was a little haven. Lovely bubbly staff who were more than happy to actually HELP!! Bliss!! The poor lad in the bar was on his very first shift - but he did an awesome job of coping with all the questions/queries and general chit chat. We were certainly pleased to see him pop up in the restaurant a bit later - and he did a great job! Hope you stayed on!!The food was great and when local wine is offered - it always has to be a must try. Thoroughly enjoyable here though and would certainly have it again. My only criticism of the restaurant would be it was so very bright. It's small and cosy - but BRIGHT. I do have an issue with strong lightening though and generally wish people would just employ a dimmer switch and give my poor eyes a rest!!The room however was marvellous - double aspect with a gorgeous heavy wooden four poster. Absolutely loved it!!

fantastic locally sourced food cooked so well - nothing to complain about apart from there was nothing on the menu I didn't like!

We've stayed here twice now and each time been warmly received. The first time we were generously given a complimentary upgrade. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are a good size and the beds extremely comfortable with excellent quality bedding and pillows. The courtesy tray is excellent. The breakfast which is included in the price of the room is plentiful in choice and quantity. The evening meals are good too and much of the food is locally sourced. A high standard all round.

We live in the area and decided to use the visit of friends to try a new restaurant in the area. The small bar was full so we sat in the dining room - comfortable and clean. The food was excellent- a good selection of meals and the menu provides choice gluten free & vegetarian choices.

We live in the Cotswolds and always looking for somewhere different to go for dinner. Although the Amberley Inn is fairly close to us, we hadn't eaten there. It was a nice change to see tablecloths on the tables. The food was excellent, we did have quite a wait, but the Hotel, Restaurant and Bar were extremely busy. We weren't in a hurry so it was not a problem. All the food is locally sourced and of top quality and plenty of choice. We had the lamb on the recommendation of our friends and it didn't disappoint. We will definitely return. Relatives of ours had stayed here last year and said how good it was, we now understand what they were saying.

Went to this restaurant with friends on 13th July for a birthday celebration and the meal was absolutely marvellous. I could not fault either the service or the presentation.They do lots of gluten free meals and are really keen to please. Their gluten free fish and chips brilliant. Also a good selection of wines and beers and try their homemade pork scratchings....mmm yummy.

Lovely food in a great pub. Really cosy atmosphere and great local food. Worth a visit.Set in beautiful village with great views.

The bars are not huge but if you really want to eat there is a posh dining room. A wonderful Vegetable Moussaka said the partner and the all day breakfast was just perfect. Good beer too

Really nice, relaxed dining with a country pub and log fires in poor weather. Over 3 rooms. Weekly quiz nights. As well as accommodation.

Went here for Sunday lunch. Being coeliac I need gluten free options and there was a good choice (but unfortunately no gluten free Yorkshire pudding). They also have a choice for gluten free desserts which was great. I had the gluten free sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and it was delicious. My non-coeliac husband also enjoyed his meal.

We happened to be in the area 7.30pm on a Sunday evening and passed by the Amberley Inn so we stopped for tea. Really pleased to discover the full menu was available. Enjoyed our fresh white bait lightly dusted tender salt and pepper squid, hake fillet and rump of lamb plus desserts. The team were accommodating and gave us some useful local information - the cows begin grazing on the Common from next week so be careful driving through at night - it would have been nice to have a toasty warm open fire going but we understand a few of us came in this evening out of the cold and the kitchen & team did very well accommodating three tables in the bar as well as in the restaurant. We'll pop in again when next passing through thank you. Quite nice having the informal parking on the edge of the Common too nice open views

The gluten free menu the Amberley Inn offers is quite frankly the best I have seen. Everything appears to be made on site and I am told they use only Gluten free flour so its just lovely home mmade food. Someone clearly knows what they are doing when it comes to quality !

A great place to stop over. Room was very clean.Room also included tea, coffee, bottled water, hot chocolate,cafetiere, biscuits and mints.Bathroom was very spacious with all the required toiletries. Dressing gowns were provided.Room had superb free WiFi and multi channel TV. Bed was a very big and very comfy 4 poster. Breakfast had a very good selection, served by a very polite young lady. I had an evening meal which was well presented and very tasty.Previously when visiting Stroud I have stayed in the premier Inn or travelodge. Thankfully they were full and I found the Amberley Inn.I would use again without hesitation.

Everything was just perfect - the food was imaginative and fresh, expertly cooked and served piping hot (not always easy to achieve in a party of 11), and the waiting staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant caters exceptionally well for those who have to eat gluten-free (pretty much everything on the menu is available), as well as vegetarians (first-class cheese souffle according to those who tried it). The log-fires and the welcome extended to our two well-behaved dogs were also much appreciated.Add to that the fact that the location and the hotel/restaurant are just beautiful, surrounded National Trust land for walking, with villages and towns such as Cirencester a short distance away, and it all adds up to a perfect hotel for lunch or a weekend break

Six of us visited on Sunday 13 November for family celebration. It took 3 hours for them to serve us a basic three course Sunday lunch. It took them over half an hour to even take our food order. We had to call the waitress every time we wanted something such as another drink or desert. There was no apology for the massive delay or lack of attention. We had to send the creme brûlée back as it was runny and under cooked. The replacement had just been pulled from a fridge as it was freezing cold. My treacle tart was over baked, I left the pastry! It was just a really awful lunch. We didn't bother to complain as no one seemed to care about the appalling service. It's rare I don't leave a tip but I didn't leave one here. Won't be going back.

We had Sunday lunch here today and as a celiac I was so pleased that the whole menu is gluten free! The food was totally outstanding and plentiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely surroundings and tastefully decorated. Lovely spot for a walk afterwards so the whole experience was great and we will definitely be going back! Many thanks to the fabulous chef as eating out is not always such a pleasurable experience!

We haven't been to The Amberley Inn in years but popped in as we had heard so many people saying how lovely it was. What a lovely spot. Fires were roaring and we sat in the oak paneled room enjoying our lunch. I had a monster rib of beef sandwich with the best chips I have tasted in years. My friend enjoyed their burger and if they had any complaint it was only they didn't have enough time to stop for pudding. We will definately be back soon and next time will spend more time here. By the way local ales are available all the time Tom Long and Budding and a guest ale every week. Also two or three ciders were available too.

We visited here today for lunch during a long walk. Very friendly, lovely surroundings,good service and good food. Dog biscuits were a welcome bonus for our companions.

Midweek evening meal out. A building of character with a lovely view. A varied menu with almost all of it being gluten-free. The food we chose was delicious and well presented. (Book for four during the week and you get a free carafe of wine.)

I booked for a Saturday evening early so was one of the first tables. The room was very pleasant, table immaculate. I thought the room could have had some soft music in background as when everyone is eating clattering cutlery and the salt and pepper grinders squeaked so badly it hurt the ears. I asked several questions about the menu which was answered well and I slightly altered the dish I had chosen. The food was excellent although we did have to wait a while for our main course.

My sister and I chose to eat here today as it is dog friendly. We phoned beforehand to make sure that we could have the Sunday lunch menu in the bar and we were pleased that we could. We both chose the hake - it was beautifully presented with about five vegetables also cooked to perfection. We followed that with a stunning lemon posset and an affogato complete with Amaretto. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Minchinhampton Common is a place of great natural beauty, and it is delightul to drive across the high heath and drop down to the inn. Our arrival was enlivened by having to share the road with a group of cows, which roam freely on the common. The hotel itself is a handsome Cotswold stone building nestling beneath the brow of the hill. We had chosen the lounge bar in preference to the dining room, an airy panelled room with only three tables. Service was friendly and polite, a tad slow, but not enough to irk. The menu is varied and includes sandwiches and lighter dishes. As starters four of us shared a plate of well prepared calamari and a Peking duck salad, fresh and tasty. Main courses were fish and chips, a mushroom omelette, the house burger (excellent) and a Tuscan vegetable pie. All were decently prepared. Although I am an omnivore, I decided on a whim to go vegetarian. I suspect that the pie was not made on the premises but made by a local artisanal producer. I had bought it directly before and find it a little stodgy. My vegetables were perfectly cooked, which is to say still crisp and green, which was welcome. This is not haute cuisine, but it is honest fare, well priced, in pleasant surroundings. That is ignoring the meeting of a folk band in the adjoining bar.

A very cosy pub with some scenic views at the front. I am a vegetarian + gluten free and I was pleasantly surprised! Lovely staff too... good service.

300 years of ambience, excellent staff, good rates, excellent menu, great rooms, seriously what more can you ask for?A really nice old English pub and updated accommodation. Restaurant is superb. Recommended
