The Colesbourne Inn in Cotswold

Went to the Colesbourne Inn for lunch. The food was very good and well priced. Well looked after by the staff and would definitely recommend this place.

We have stayed for 2 nights and it was magical. The inn is super cozy, clean, staff was trained and excellent. We have even dined in at night, we ate classic pub food which was also excellent. Breakfast was divine. Inn is strategically placed very near the pretty cotswolds villages. Definately worth the visit. Well done

recently spent 2 nights. same experience had as per customer review with photos of the room. Cleanliness not up to scratch, bad smell. Matrass needs replacing, as do the hard, lumpy pillows. Can only speak for room.7, an upgrade is needed. A cleaner room and bathroom would have resulted in a better experience. Took the bus into Cheltenham, conveniently situated 100 yards from hotel. Food was good, restuarant and bar staff very friendly. Thank you

Lovely stay in a great location.

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte nel tour delle Cotswold. Abbiamo preso un fish & chips ed una zuppa del giorno (al cavolfiore): entrambi buoni. Ricordiamo che la cucina chiude alle 20.30. Tipico cottage inglese. La stanza era dislocata e molto ampia. Colazione continentale poco varia, suggeriamo di ampliare la scelta. C’era possibilità di avere cibo caldo gratuitamente. Suggeriamo maggiore attenzione alla pulizia delle stoviglia e delle camere.

My first trip to this part of the world for many years. We travelled in daylight which was good because there are many narrow roads in the area When we arrived I found the room for myself and my room mate was on the second floor and there was no lift. I had emailed several days before that we needed a ground floor room or a lift. Unfortunately no action had been taken in respect of this . I asked what they were going to do as there was no way my friend was able to go up two flights if stairs. After finding my email, we were quickly allocated an up grade ground floor room at no extra cost Our next unfortunate incident was that we didn't go directly to our room but had a moderate amount of alcohol plus food ( which was excellent chicken ham and leek pie). When we had finished it was pitch black due to the lights tripping.We really struggled to find our room which was across a carpark. On returning to the pub which was closed,we managed to find two off duty staff. They couldn't have been more helpful,thank you Tracey and fellow chief. They saw us to our room and made sure we were comfortable. Over the next two days we couldn't have been looked after better.They even went out of their way to buy some special local sausages which were delicious. The fried English breakfast was excellent and I would definitely stay at this pub/ hotel again.

Great food and good luck to the new management team, we are staying here too hope for a great stay robin and Cassie we will return on our next celebration

Sunday roast was absolutely perfect!! Great service and the pub garden is beautiful! I would absolutely recommend this place.

The food was of poor quality which gave us Wetherspoon vibes, the honey and mustard sausages arrived with zero concern given to presentation. Three cheap sausages were just sat there in a fatty honey mixture. This should have been a clue on how the rest of the food was going be but we persevered, the steak came out and was over cooked and very chewy and just to make sure I didn’t burn my mouth on the chips they came out stone cold. When asked by the waitress if the food was ok and told it wasn’t nothing more was done about. Please avoid

Good food and friendly staff. The pie was great!

Overall, the photos on the booking site were quite misleading. We had a twin room in the block attached to the pub. The room was upstairs, was very small, and there was a very unpleasant, musty smell on entering. Although the photos showed beautiful gardens, the room faced out onto the car park and busy road, which was not nice to look at and was very noisy, but as there was a bad smell, we needed the window open. The whole room was in dire need of an upgrade and redecoration. The tiny ensuite ( only the width of the shower) would have been just about adequate but the bathroom fittings were very worn and extremely dated, with an ancient tiled sink surround that had grout that was disintegrating. The shower was larger, but again, very old and in immediate need of replacement. Toiletries were basic in dispensers The two single beds were unusually narrow - they had to be to fit in the tiny room - with a bedside table squeezed in between, with clean but again dated linens, and were not very comfortable Considering the price was significantly more than we had paid elsewhere in the area for a MUCH cleaner, larger and more luxurious room, with nice toiletries and a view of gardens, this was a really big disappointment. Breakfast was nice, though, and the pub itself was characterful.

Very lovey quaint pub. Only reason for 4 star is the gas ran out on the larger so no larger on 1 night. Apart from that great service very comfortable bed and very clean.

Poor quality food, went for the 6x fish and chips, costing in the region of £16, had the smallest piece of fish and 11 chips! I asked for garden peas and it came with mushy peas. I will not be returning and I strongly advise not wasting your time and money here.

We booked a room to stay overnight. When we arrived, the staff were not friendly. The room was excellent, but the mattress on the bed was old with springs poking through. This is the worst mattress that we have seen in a hotel and we stay away frequently. We had to leave as I could not sleep on it and risk a vulnerable back. When we raised this with the staff, despite being pleasant and polite, they were rude and disinterested. A hugely disappointing experience.

Dog friendly in bar and outside gluten free fish and chips. Very friendly service, my gluten free fish and chips were delicious my wife's burger and chips were delicious too.

After dumping our luggage briefly in the room and heading straight to the bar for food and drink, there were no faults. Fantastic evening meal, good beer and service. However, in the morning it was instantly apparent that the room was actually rather dirty, and the bathroom even worse. Fluff and months of dust layed over almost every surface, other people's hair on the floor and skirting , smelly fusty carpets that didn't appear to have been hoovered. As we were two male bikers on the way home from a trip and we hadn't really spotted this until the morning, we just accepted it, but if I had taken my wife there, she definitely wouldn't have stayed. A good manager should be aware of their rooms not being kept to good standards. At £115 it wasn't exactly cheap. Not to mention that our room was made up as a double and not a twin that I had booked and had confirmation for so when we arrived ( not early.. 5.45pm) we had to wait for the staff to sort it out. Not very professional at all! There's no point in replying with ( we are disappointed to hear that) That isn't going to make customers return, but a clean room room would. Sack the cleaner and get it sorted out.

Asked for medium steak but it came rare. Also was told that the sauce would come on the side, but it was all over the steak. Nobody came over to check (staff were walking around eating crisps) so we put up with it. Despite that the flavour was good, though if we came again we would probably have something else.

We pre-ordered our lunches- a table of 8 chaps- and everything was delicious - friendly staff , good beer-what more can one ask? thoroughly recommend this pub. Will definitely return.

A nice country pub. Good food, rooms are nice

A lovely evening, great food and drinks with friendly service.

Last stayed at the Colesbourne Inn for 3 nights October 2022 loved it so much we decided to book again on our recent trip to the UK. In our opinion the change of management which has occurred since our last stay hasn't been able to up hold the customer service, food quality and room cleanliness which was offered during our last visit.

Comfortable surroundings, good food and good service. Thank you.

Perfect place to stay the night over and have a diner at the evening! The staff is super friendly!

My best friend was doing a wing walk at a near by airfield , so we picked the Colesbourne as I was close , we was so happy we did ,the staff, the food and the Accommodation was top dollar, we will definitely be coming back to stay again , I would highly recommend the Colesbourne , thank you all

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Food is excellent and The Colesbourne has a lovely 'local pub' feel. The room was very comfortable. Definitely our favourite in The Cotswolds.

Great location, lovely food and really helpful team

Great country pub Experience marred by staff meeting in the beer garden with lots of very loud effing swearing We asked them to tone it down but no avail Phone ahead to check all clear is my advice Have eaten there on sever occasions and food is good

Great restaurant, great place to stay.this The first night we got in , we arrived to late for dinner . The chef made us delicious sandwiches.We booked room 12 for 4 days , then added an extra day because it was so nice! Close to many villages and sites .The staff was so kind , the grounds are lovely and the rooms comfortable , homey and quiet .Thank you from Dr Tom and Lee Ann Prostko, Easley,SC, USA

Lovely friendly pub. Food was excellent and our big furry dog got spoilt too . Thank you all. Dawn & Brian

The room was fab, the staff are amazing. All really helpful and nothing was too much. Thank you

Tasty food, casual atmosphere, good and nice staff.

Easy parking, nicely spaced tables, not too crammed in, pleasant and helpful service and tasty food at a good price. really enjoyed our leisurely Easter Monday lunch!

So disappointing The pub is dreary and uninviting. Not sure why the restaurant was closed so all seating was in the bar area where it was dark and we couldn’t read the menu. We have been in the past when it was vibrant and cosy. The brewery’s policy of not allowing a taster of standard wine has lost them a sale and left a customer very unhappy. We will not be going back Yet another loss of profits

Brewery ‘s policy of not allowing a taster of wine before purchase has prevented our return and loss of revenue

Relatively speaking, off the beaten track, but a decent base for nearby Cheltenham, Cirencester or The Cotswolds. Warmly welcomed on arrival, and this was a constant from all the staff during our stay. Plenty of on-site parking available; exceptional food and a wonderful room set in a cottage besides the inn. The list on the specials board was something else. When booking the room it stated a continental breakfast was included, however it was actually a continental and full English or similar if required. Bonus! My only slight gripe would be that there was no allergen labelling on any of the menus. Not problematic for me personally, but for others potentially. My scrambled egg at breakfast I would say contained wholegrain mustard, and was the most 'different' scrambled egg I've ever tasted. This by the way is a compliment - but if anyone with a mustard allergen had eaten this ..........

The food was delicious and well presented. The girl serving was very friendly and welcoming.

This place is a hidden Gem. Food and rooms to a very good standard. Clean warm and welcoming. Customer service is 5star special thanks to Lara for making this stay a wonderful experience, you're an asset to the inn.

We stayed with breakfast! Very friendly pub with rooms

Great Country pub, room was good and very spacious. Brilliant base tp explore the Cotswolds, meal in the restaurant was excellent, all 3 courses & breakfast had a selection of cereals, toast & cooked. Staff were really friendly & helpful. Would recommend highly. WIFI is fine in the pub but non existent in the room.

Really friendly, helpful and attentive team looking after us. Delicious food. And a very lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a great evening.

Fantastic food . Very unusual like aubergine steak.

We are regular customers. The food is always excellent and the staff just brilliant. Always friendly and engaging!

The Colesbourne Inn was great from check in to check out. Room was clean and comfortable. The pub/restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. Bar staff were very friendly. We had bar snacks and starters they were hot fresh and tasty. Breakfast the next morning was great with a wide range of choices. Will definitely return if travel takes us to that part of the country again!

Stopped for food after visiting Colesbourne Gardens. Warm & cosy. Delicious food.

Excellent service, good food. Was very popula

Lovely meal in congenial atmosphere warm room

Service was extremely slow and staff were overwhelmed. Starter delicious sharing cheese dip, upon asking for more bread as not enough to finish the cheese, told bluntly it would be charged for which we expected anyway. Had to ask where our main courses were after being in the restaurant nearly 1.5 hours. Brought quickly so clearly just sitting there, they were very nice. Decided against dessert and coffee. A lovely meal in a place we come back to again and again but service let it down this time. Staff are all professional and very nice.

Luscious lunch. We dined at CI yesterday. We had a superb experience. Delicious food - Sunday roast, cooked to perfection. To die for, dessert - white chocolate and cranberry bread and butter pudding. Attentive but not intrusive service. We will be back. Many thanks to all concerned

This was the second visit in a month and we will keep on returning. There is easy access from the car park into a warm welcoming pub. The staff are friendly and polite, the menu has a good range to choose from and the food is delicious. The prices are reasonable too and we're looking forward to seeing what the patio garden is like in the summer.

A beautiful setting, welcoming staff and excellent food. Also, 2 minutes from Colesbourne Gardens. Pretty much perfect

Immensely slow and rude server. Pub was dreary and depressing inside and food wasn’t great either. Went a couple year back and liked it but after this time I will never go again and nor will the people I went with

Had quiche, salad and chips. Quiche portion was tiny. One and half inches at its widest point. Appalled at portion.Over £13. A great profit made. Sat outside and ashtrays overflowing with old fag ends in water.

Stayed here for 2 nights b&b for our anniversary. Room was clean and spacious with small shared patio. Staff were fantastic. Full English breakfast available as well as help yourself to cereal, fruit etc. We had evening meals there too. Good choice of meals and good portion size. Lovely outside area to sit and eat/drink. Happy to recommend.

Sunday roast was average. Beef tough, sorry, long wait for veggies. Lovely staff but just mediocre. Very quiet too so no ambience

Excellent location and traditional Inn. Very comfortable, clean room. Friendly, attentive staff and excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The pub was very pleasant, comfortable and with a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent. Well-presented and delicious. Beers and wine were good. What let the experience down however was the service. I don’t mind waiting a little longer, but it did feel a little excessive. Whilst I didn’t start a stopwatch, it was in the region of a 50 minute wait. Tables that arrived a considerable time after us, were served quicker, which did beg the question as to whether we had been “missed”. The service at the table was particularly poor. We had to ask for orders to be taken, for drinks and equally didn’t receive a single “is everything ok with your meal”. Even after having requested “service” we needed to (on several occasions chase up our food, drink orders and even the bill. The poor service spoilt an otherwise good evening, which was raised at the end of meal. The response, although apologetic, was lack-lustre. A real shame, as otherwise a really nice place.

Came for Sunday lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed a pint of Wadsworth Horizon which was followed by an excellent starter of scallops with black pudding. For mains it was Sunday roasts, one beef and one slow roasted belly pork with crackling. Served with all the trimmings, the portions were tasty and substantial. A special thank you to the landlady and landlord for their kindness as on learning that we were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary we were given a complimentary glass of “fizz”. It made our meal and we would like to thank them again. If you enjoy traditional pubs based in old buildings serving traditional ales and good food then this is the place to go. Would highly recommend and would certainly return.

Have eaten here before and when I read my previous review I see I had the same main course, smoked haddock kedgeree and poached egg. I had seared scallops , black pudding fritter ,pancetta and cauliflower puree to start, it was £10 and certainly not worth it, the scallops and fritter were tiny. The staff seem disorganised and twice drinks we ordered did not appear, there were not many customers so I wouldn't want to go there when they are busy. It is a lovely old inn very atmospheric. I expect we will be back again as we were visiting friends and it seems to be one of their favourite places to eat.

Had a special birthday in January staff were brilliant in supporting and making the occasion special this thank you.

Following a few lovely experiences in the past, we booked a Sunday lunch. When showed to our table that was against a hot radiator I requested an alternative table (for 2) of which there were a few available. On being told that they were fully booked so not possible, we sat and ordered. No other tables were taken during our meal. My wife ordered the vegan roast which was served with a standard yorkshire pudding, and I had a pie. Waitress took my wifes plate back to kitchen to take off the yorkshire which took far too long to return, and my pie was too tough - very over baked, and meagre veg. 3 stars due to previous visits, charming building & location. But, wake up management…sad to say we wont be returning in a hurry.

What an excellent find by me. We stayed for 4 nights, so we had plenty of experience of the place Accommodation was excellent in contained 4 room units. So warm and clean. Very spacious and comfortable Restaurant offered an excellent choice and was ample Breakfast was top notch Bar is cosy and so welcoming Will definitely be coming back Trevor, Liz and staff. Thank you

Visited the Colebourne on a Sunday afternoon with friends. All of us were more than impressed with the quality of the food. Starters and mains were absolutely excellent. Lovely venue, cosy and warm with real fireplaces, and a good ambiance, really homely. Would definitely recommend 😊

Well, this was a lovely BB & spotless. The room was so comfortable & presented lovely with all facilities you would need. Had the best night sleep. The pub itself was absolutely beautiful & the staff & the couple who run the business were very welcoming & couldn’t do enough for you. They are short staffed but still didn’t fail to provide us with excellent food & drink without us waiting. The full English breakfast was amazing with lots of other choices like fresh fruit, yogurts. Cereal etc. Thank you all so much for making our stay fantastic & will we be back? Most definitely 😁

Booked for a meal on Friday evening. ( I would recommend booking). Arrived to a warm welcome and a choice of tables, either indoor or in the garden. Great menu, excellent service and a good choice of drinks, although Peroni would have been a welcome...

Been visiting the Colesbourne Inn for food and drinks for few years now, as an alternative to the coast. It’s just so idyllic, with a beautiful tranquil garden area, quite unlike anywhere else, and the food is just fantastic. Definitely will be going back.

Already from outside the pub is giving great pictures. From inside, it is as expected from English pubs - bar, fireplaces, cozy sitting areas. We had been lucky to stay on a Wednesday, where you get 2 x fish & chips for 24 Pounds. Due...

Lovely food and lovely staff .Breakfast amazing, evening meal lovely. Great for a relaxing break as no towns local .

After a lovely 2 hr walk in the area, we had booked for lunch. We were given a warm welcome and sat outside overlooking the beautiful garden with lots of birds flitting about to the bird feeders in the trees.The food was top notch. I had the sea bass with risotto which was delicious, the best sea bass I've had for ages. The pies were excellent, as was the chicken in parma ham. Very good quality and very helpful and pleasant staff. I would highly recommend the food and atmosphere here. Reasonably priced, good value, top quality.

Went for lunch. Good menu with some lighter options. Food was well prepared and of good quality. Polite and efficient service from the management and our waitress.

Looking forward to Sunday lunch. Hugh disappointment after been recommended by several people. Sourdough toast for chicken liver parfait was only toasted in one side. Prosecco was flat and when mentioned the waitress said would be the same if I ordered another glass. Dare not ask if she could open a new bottle. The roast beef was tough and as for the roast potatoes who wants to eat day old potatoes heated up. The young waitress was polite and efficient, however the older waitress clearly had an attitude. If you want a good Sunday lunch go to The Spotted Cow. Marston Meysey The Falcon Inn. PoultonBoth have great food and friendly staff.

A return visit immediately after lockdown 2. So many pubs have a very limited boring menu at present - burgers/pizzas - not so here - a full interesting menu. Excellent COVID compliance - well spaced tables etc. I gather still very quiet for mid-week lunches - we are returning for Sunday lunch - well worth the drive.We enjoy the Landlord's dry Northumbrian humour - adds to the experience.

Arrived flustered after stressful trip down country lane teaming with pheasants so the friendly welcome from staff and quiet ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful. Wide menu choice including unusual items like swordfish. Prompt service though we did have to ask twice for sauce offered but never brought. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

We stayed 3 nights and had two lovely evening meals and cracking breakfast.The location is perfect for exploring the area and the beautiful Cirencester is only 6 miles away with a bus stop outside the Inn should wish to leave the car and sample the delights of the bars and restaurants in Cirencester. Our room was basic nothing special, it was comfortable.The Manager was an interesting chap from the North East, who had a very dry personality, some people would take this as being rude, being from Nottingham it wasn't an issue with us.Highly recommend a visit

Lovely staff and service. Food was amazing. Such a beautiful restaurant too. Highly recommend. Will be going back! The brownie was melt in the mouth!

We met up with a friend who lived in the area, our first meeting after 22 years. Upon booking the table, the manner in which the woman took the booking was quite functional and bland not welcoming at all. They stated that dogs were welcome and we took our two dogs with us. We decided to have a light lunch whilst we were there. The food was nice and the pricing was a little high for what it was. The waitress was not keen on the dogs and didn't make us feel very welcome. My 8 month old puppy accidently did a wee before we left, which she has never done before (I take it she felt uncomfortable in the pub too) and I asked for a cloth to clear it up. The woman at the bar rolled her eyes and handed me a blue roll stating that was all she had. I cleared it up and disposed of the paper in the bathroom. The atmosphere was tense and ruined what had been a great reunion. A real shame as the pub was lovely and the food was lovely but the atmosphere and staff were not welcoming or civil.

Quedarme aquí en este momento y haber comido aquí tres cenas y dos desayunos. Gran servicio de personal amable y eficiente. La comida es de gran calidad, está bien presentada y sabe muy bien, pero a un precio razonable. El restaurante es acogedor y atractivo. Si eliges comer en la zona del bar, esto también es atractivo. Es fácil de encontrar con un buen estacionamiento. Se han cumplido todas las restricciones de Covid.

Una bonita posada con un jardín en el que puedes sentarte en la parte trasera de la propiedad. Comimos en el bar y la comida era buena. Nos alojamos por una noche, la habitación estaba limpia pero el baño necesita urgentemente una reforma, también teníamos vistas a la calle principal y era extremadamente ruidoso, una habitación en la parte de atrás podría ser más tranquila.

Hice una reserva pero nos rechazaron por ser un grupo de 3 y un grupo de 4. Pensamos que esto estaría bien, pero las reglas no lo permiten. Eso está bien, lo entendemos y nos alegró ver lugares tomando precauciones, sin embargo, fue la actitud que tuvo el personal.Éramos un grupo emocionado listo para un almuerzo de domingo, pero inmediatamente nos hicieron sentir como si fuéramos criminales invadiendo su propiedad.No es una disculpa o decir que esperan que los visitemos cuando se levanten las precauciones, solo un hombre de aspecto agresivo y una mujer gruñonaNuevamente, nos disculpamos de que nuestros grupos no se ajustaran a su política, pero definitivamente no volveremos.

Visitamos el día que reabrieron para el almuerzo. Hubo una cálida bienvenida y nos hicieron sentir realmente bienvenidos.El almuerzo fue excelente. Tomé un entrante de tortellini y luego al horno merluza para mi plato principal seguido de queso y galletas para terminar. No me puedo quejar.Estaremos de vuelta

Stayed here for 1 night of our weekend away. It’s a Lovely pub. Breakfast was really nice and cooked to order. We were given a room away from the pub in a small converted building. Very spacious with a big bed and en-suite bathroom with bath, the rear door lead to a small garden which was lovely. It was nice and peaceful even though it was close to the main road. The room had tea and coffee making and fresh milk was available from reception.

Great service and the food is wonderful. The restaurant is very convenient for guests staying at the inn.

lovely idilic venue geat pub as well /our room was very cute will advise anyone to go .breakfast was delicious

Excellent weekend spent in this lovely place Accommodation was above the restaurant but very quiet in a very well equipped room

So it’s New Year’s Day and we finished our walk, so on the way home we popped in for a beer and a starter (our main was in the slow cooker at home). We had a lovely home made soup and a great ale. Very warm and welcoming, friendly atmosphere. We love this place and might try the burger night tomorrow or next Thursday. Burger nights on Thursday - great selection!!!

I’ve eaten at this pub at least 7 or 8 times. I’ve experienced the unwelcoming management behind the bar on a couple of occasions, and once made to feel uncomfortable, but as the food has always been good and the waitresses have been pleasant we have returned. (It’s also convenient as we have family in the village.) Having tried other local pubs looking for a meal in the week before Christmas, which were all full to the rafters, we found the Colesbourne to be near empty and ate there. I found the food quality was not as good as it has been in the past. I chose the duck at £21.95, and found the duck bonbon and cabbage parcel to be fairly bland, although the blackberry jus was tasty. I had the chocolate fondant from the set menu after as I had set my heart on it, but sadly it was clearly bought in and not made freshly on the premises as I would have expected, and left me disappointed. I appreciate the staff accommodating my request though. My partner enjoyed his ham, egg and chips and sticky toffee pudding.

the food , pub and restaurant were good. friendly staff. we were booked in for a couple of nights but left early due to the road noise outside. there weren't any rooms available at the rear of the Inn. shame, the gardens at the back were lovely. maybe consider sound proof door- we could see day light under the foot of the door, hence the noise level I think. lovely spot to tour from

A splendid family lunch to celebrate my wife’s 70th. Delicious food and excellent service contributed to a memorable experience.
