The Horse and Groom in Cotswold

Excellent lunch, with attentive, professional and engaging staff. Will certainly be returning

The staff are so helpful and kind. The food is very good. There is a lovely garden that our room overlooked, with French doors opening out from the room. My husband is disabled and was given every assistance from the caring staff. We hope to go back in the future.

Great pub with comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Ate good dinner and chef came in early to make breakfast as we wanted to get away A bit of noise from the bar and the main road but we all slept well in comfy beds

Great pub, some noise from the bar and also the main road. Rooms are comfortable, staff all very friendly and helpful and dinner and breakfast were fine. The chef even came in early for us to make breakfast as we wanted to get away

Had a very enjoyable family meal here. The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was good and there's a decent selection of beers.

Nice old pub but need a refurb! Food was very poor,not bad staff.

We had a fabulous meal. The steak and the dessert were delicious. The service was great (thanks Jack) and the beer / wine were really good.

Pre booked Sunday lunch, we were given a table in the bar, not in the restaurant. there was no draught cider available, so had to have sweet, bottled stuff. Lunch was very average.

Really great location, very friendly and helpful staff food was excellent and the view for the from the garden was stunning

Absolutely lovely place! Food was delicious, staff were brilliant, couldn’t fault the service at all. Unfortunately we didn’t get our servers name but he was very friendly and cracked a few jokes which really added to the nice feeling of our night out. Can’t recommend enough, 10/10!

Great location, staff excellent, food excellent, beer excellent, rooms and areas around the pub need some TLC and paint brush, would recommend

We walked into the Horse and Groom during heavy rain to be greeted by a roaring open fire and a cosy bar and restaurant. The staff are absolutely amazing and made us feel instantly at home as well as our dog. We booked for an evening meal and the food was delicious and was clearly made from local produce. They catered really well for our gluten free requirements and they were really knowledgable on it, even the fish and chips are gluten free. We stayed in room 3, which was well decorated and very clean. The room and the ensuite were really spacious and excellent value for money. The teas and coffee etc were also of really good quality. There is some road noise, which we aren’t used to at home, but we found that we slept through it as we were tired from doing stuff during the days. The breakfast also did not disappoint, again really good quality produce and everything was cooked very well. It is located in a lovely village but what really made it was the staff, every single one of them was polite, friendly, helpful and really professional. We felt very well looked after. You need to bear in mind that this is a dog-friendly pub with rooms. It’s not a luxury hotel nor is it pretending to be. Overall we would really recommend this place, it offers brilliant value for money in our opinion given what it is and the area.

Lovely country pub, really good food and very friendly service, we’d definitely recommend and we’d definitely go back

Lovely warm welcome. Excellent food, superb service, well kept beer, easy parking, clean, quiet, good value, lots of lovely touches in the room. Would highly recommend.

Didn’t stay but really enjoyed our Sunday roasts.

Unfortunately very average lunch. Starters okay. Pork tasteless, covered in gravy which was not great. Potatoes tough. Beef grey, bland , inedible. Welcome good, waiters good with the exception of the girl in glssses who see very put out that we asked for horseradish and apple sauce - actually “huffed”. Website show great pictures of rare beef and fluffy roasts. Unfortunately same old pub fare you get anywhere, didn’t have a home made element except the veg. Not worth journey. Should have gone to pub in our village and had the same meal for a lot less. Disappointing after reading reviews.

Everything about our 2 night stay in this establishment was great, but especially the friendly service from every single member of staf that worked there that we met. Food was delicious as we eat here both evenings. Our room was nice and big as we had the dog and he loved looking out the window from the window seat. Thank you all for making our weekend really comfortable and we enjoyed meeting you all and will be back!

Dinner on Saturday was excellent we both had delicious food, (best pub pie I've ever had) and its a lovely pub to sit in. The tables were nicely spaced so you could talk privately and the staff were attentive but not annoying, service was fast and friendly, we will be going again soon and would highly recommend the Horse and Groom. (Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay this time.)

Lovely location, with a fantastic team.

Very enjoyable stay, just for one night, passing through. A cozy pub, with excellent food and clean comfortable rooms, but the jewel in the crown are the staff, who were all brilliant. Definitely a revisit is on the cards.

We met up with a couple of friends and had a wonderful lunch at the Horse and Groom. The food was delicious, well presented and the relaxing atmosphere in the pub made for a great time. Special praise must go to Leo who looked after us admirably whilst we there and clearly understands the hospitality business.

We stayed here for 2 nights for the Cheltenham festival and this is a split review. The hotel was the man reason for the stay and this was the poor part, hence the overall rating of a 2. We had to give a time of arrival which was tough as I mentioned we were coming from the festival and therefore traffic was tough to predict but did my best. The room are dated and in need of some painting and renovation. The noise from the road is really bad and to be honest meant we hardly slept at all, the single glass windows didn't help. We came back to our room on the 2nd day to find 1 pair of earplugs which I suspect was only put there as another couple we spoke to had a lack of sleep too. The first morning for breakfast we had a lady serve us who had a serious attitude problem, we had to guess if you ordered pastries and everything seemed to be a huge effort as if we were a problem to her being there. The 2nd morning we had the same people as the previous evening and they were great. The cooked breakfasts were lovely with a great choice. We had dinner on the Wednesday night as it restaurant was closed on a Tuesday night and the food again was really tasty (it is the same chef as breakfast). Overall, I would not stay here again as the noise, heat of the room and the general upkeep was poor but the food was good.

We were staying in the area as we had attended the Cheltenham Festival during the day. I called on the phone enquiring to book a table at 7, for us two if it was necessary. The gentleman I spoke to sounded stern and he advised me to book a table, as they got very busy, which I did. We arrived shortly before 7. We were shown into the restaurant area. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was warm to my delight as we got very cold at the races. A same gentleman who greeted us came to take our order. Our drinks arrived soon after. The food arrived after about 20 minutes later. It was worth the wait as it was delicious. We had afters. That was delicious too. Nothing was too much trouble. Price wise it was very reasonable and worth every penny for what we had. There was only one other table for two occupied, so it wasn’t busy as it was suggested after all. We will certainly pay another visit when we are in the area again.

Food and service first class can highly recommend this place for food and drinks

Enjoyed a mother’s day sunday lunch, especially impressed with the vegan roast!

Fantastic dog friendly pub with rooms. Great staff and very good food.

I never do reviews, but the service was so good that I have decided to! Food was excellent too!

We have just spent 2 nights here. Lovely rooms, great location and the staff are really friendly and helpful. We will stay here again if we return to the Cotswolds.

We stayed at this beautiful pub on a Saturday night arriving late with a very muddy cockerpoo. The staff were amazing and welcoming. We had a lovely dinner, great breakfast and excellent Sunday lunch - great waiting staff and Leo very helpful. Very much recommended.

Very disappointing experience. Arrived early for our 2.15 Sunday lunch booking. Took 10 minutes to get drinks served. We’re not told when our table was ready. 2.15 webasked where we were sitting and was literally a metre from where we were. Sat at table. Had to go and ask for a menu eventually. Ordered second round of drinks after asking staff. Eventually ordered 3 x roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Food arrived quickly but the beef was unacceptable. It was as tough as old boots and non of us could cut/chew it so returned 3 meals to the kitchen. Menu brought back to us so we all chose roast pork. No stuffing or apple sauce………the pork was really nice with a bit of chewy cracking. So we ate and enjoyed that. Then eventually asked for the bill and that was wrong. Very disappointing to be honest. Our good friend invited us to pay for us as a treat but was so embarrassed and disappointed. It may be nice to go there for a drink, but I don’t think we will be eating with them again. Sorry 😢

Absolutely amazing dining experience the place was cosy and warm, staff were super welcoming and friendly and constantly made sure everything was ok. Food was incredible enjoyed every bite and so did the mrs. Top marks for this place can’t fault a single thing.

Spent three nights here. Everything was very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Lots of choice for breakfast. We ate in the restaurant each evening - food was delicious and inventive. Restaurant staff - Jack and Zara - were exceptional. Location was perfect. Lovely Cotswolds countryside, pretty towns/villages within easy reach. Would happily return for another stay. Thanks to hotel manager, Lubos and his team!

We chose to eat at the Horse and Groom when staying in Moreton in Marsh. We were greeted enthusiastically and shown to a nice table. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was of a very good quality. Having heard of our struggles to get a taxi they even offered to run us back to our hotel in one of their cars!

Too noisy,loads of booming music

Met friends for Sunday lunch 18/2/2023, from the moment we walked in the manager and staff could not have been more friendly and attentive. The meal was very pleasant, but the whole occasion was made special by the staff. We shall be visiting again very soon.

Visited for a birthday Sunday lunch. Food decent and reasonable price, but the best was the service. The manager, and all his staff were efficient and friendly. Have no complaints about our visit and look forward to coming again.

Lovely venue , warm and atmospheric ! Food lovely and service helpful .

Would possibly give 3.5 stars but we were let down by the staff and customer service we received. From arriving at the pub I felt we were a nuisance for the staff. Perhaps because it was a Friday night and not so busy. The person at the bar didn’t say hello just abruptly shouted towards me ‘do you have a booking?’. No a great welcome or first impression. We felt rushed through our meal. The fish and chips which two of our party had were very average. The fish was a bit soggy and not nice crispy batter. The vegan pie was tasty, with good flavours but poor presentation. The plate looked like it’d be thrown together. Worth mentioning the guy servicing our drinks was very friendly and chatty, and attentive. When we left at 915pm (hardly late for a Friday night) all the staff including chefs were sitting at the bar. None said goodbye or thank you but looked pleased we were leaving. Overall one good meal out of 3 and poor staff.

We had a lovely lunch here with inventive starters,very pleasant ,helpful staff in a truely welcoming Cotswold pub.We will definatly be calling in on our next trip through the Cotswolds.

Went for Sunday lunch. Reasonable price and plenty of food, but the beef was so chewy we had difficulty cutting it let alone eating it.

Eaten here a few times and I cannot fault the friendly service or the excellent value food. One of my favourite places to go to for a Sunday roast with the dogs.

The menu change has been well received and is inventive and great food. Butcombe Gold is fantastic as was the service

Stopped here on a hike. Great pints and atmosphere. Open fire and good music!

We had a family pre-Christmas lunch at the Horse and Groom, and it was perfect. The food was tasty and copious and were served by Pip with much attention and good cheer. Looking forward to our next visit.

Had fantastic stay here over the weekend ,and had the best meal i have had in ages,homemade steak and mushroom pie and veg was really very tasty and good value ,bedrooms and breakfast excellent as well as very professional and friendly service given by all the staff lovely building in a perfect location to see all the must see cotswold places many thanks👌👍

Lovely place with clean and spacious rooms. Food was delicious and staff friendly and welcoming. The location allows easy access to Cotswolds many must-see locations. Would come by anytime!

A really friendly place to visit.Lubos was an excellent,friendly host and very attentive. Great choice of delicious food on the menu.A lovely, place to stay and explore the Cotswolds.

We had a superb family lunch here on Boxing Day. We were a large party of 21 (ranging in ages from 4 to 82). Nothing was too much trouble; the staff were warm, welcoming and extremely accommodating (special shout out to Pip), the food and drink was plentiful and delicious. We all had a brilliant time - THANK YOU - we look forward to returning!

We had Christmas Day with you and I am sad to say the food was the worse food we have had in a Cotswolds pub at Christmas. We were welcomed and the Prosecco aperitif was just dumped on the table. The food was bland and lacked any flavour or presentation. (The pate was ok)The beef roast was overcooked (wanted extremely rare)as indeed were the vegetables. The vegetarian option was simply lacking flavour. Potatoes were soggy not crisp. Ordered your special champagne £65 which was just dumped on the table. Waited a little while to see if someone would come to open it - sadly not so served ourselves. We could not wait to get out of there - our Xmas lunch experience was spoilt. Quickest Christmas lunchtime ever. We have been coming to the Cotswolds for over 30 years so know what to expect - not this time though.

We had a family get together and the pub staff were fantastic. Great venue, delicious food, helpful team. Highly recommended!

This was the worse Christmas lunch we have ever had in the Cotswolds. Vegetables over cooked and a complete lack of seasoning. Potatoes soggy and not crispy. Bland food and tasteless gravy. Ordered their special champagne and just dumped on the table for us to open. Value for money zero. Could not wait to get out of there and head back to our cosy cottage.

11 of us had Christmas Lunch here and it was delightful. Amazing food and drinks and the table was decorated lovely. Big shoutout to our waiter, Pip, he made the lunch a great laugh and was very attentive to all our needs. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a delightful Christmas lunch here as part of a large party of 11! The food was exquisite and the drinks were refreshing. Lovely cocktails. The staff were amazing too! Pip, our waiter, was the star for us! He made us laugh and was very attentive to us. Would definitely recommend

7 family members arrived for our Christmas get together. We were greeted warmly on arrival. Everyone was so friendly. Our meals were superb and the service we received from Pip the assistant manager was top class. My husband and I had booked a room to stay over which was lovely and we had a wonderful evening in the bar with such a good atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

We had a great pre-christmas lunch in comfortable surroundings. Food was good and the service excellent - Pip made sure we had everything we wanted. We will be going again.

Stopped in for lunch after quite a long walk to bourton on the hill. The food was great - I'd especially recommend the cauliflower rarebit - and the atmosphere was very cosy, but what really made the experience special was the service. We were greeted and seated by the assistant manager Pip, who was super welcoming. His service throughout our lunch was prompt and friendly. We didn't want to leave, so we had to stay for an extra pint and a scoop of ice cream 😊 thanks, pip and team! We would be delighted to return if we're in the area again.

Stayed over for one night while visiting family in the area. Stayed in room 2 which was lovely and spacious with a comfy bed and ensuite. The dog was catered for with dog bed, bowls and treats in the room ready. We had an evening meal and breakfast there, both of which were delicious with generous portions and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and attentive and the Assistant Manager, Pip made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for the night at the B&B after a weekend away to visit Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold. Lovely pub with great food. We ate in the evening and had a delicious steak and also had a wonderful breakfast in the morning. The room was clean and warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Had such a nice experience and will hopefully return soon.

Lovely cosy pub for a family get together. Staff were very friendly and accommodating despite the fact we had a toddler with us and we had to call to say we would be a bit late. The food was delicious with an interesting menu filled with comfort food. Drinks were good too. Would highly recommend after our experience today, shame we don’t live locally!

Found by accident passing through. Stopped for lunch, luckily even though very busy they could fit us in. Service excellent and lovely decor and ambiance. But wow the food was fabulous, enjoyed every mouthful till the last. Fantastic flavours and piping hot and brilliant value for money.

Best sandwiches I have ever had. Gorgeous bread and excellent fillings. Good red wine. Real fire, great service.

A lot of the choices from the menu weren’t available. From a limited choice we had two ploughman’s and one chicken, ham and mushroom pie. The pie was very hard and dry. It had been drowned in gravy, presumably in an attempt to soften the crust, but this was unsuccessful. The waiter sought feedback on our meals but didn’t act on it. On paying, again I was asked how our meal was, and again feedback was given. We ate here regularly before lockdown and the food was always delicious. I felt embarrassed to have “treated” my friends to a meal here.

A Nice pub in cotswolds, nice atsmophere, friendly staff, dogs allowed which is good but menu is very limited to choices

Sehr gutes Essen. Nettes Ambiente und gute Bedienung:) Kleines Geschäft nebenan. Und falls jemand einen Campingplatz sucht,gibt es den Shehezerade Fruit Farm .So 10 min. Zu Fuß erreichbar.

Lovely meal-flat iron steaks and chicken burger a pleasure to eat following a long drive. Had our meal inside but pub does have a lovely modern beer garden with great countryside views

Excellent food! Wonderful service. Highly recommend. Particularly the hand-pumped Butcombe Original Bitter. Our group of 30 visitors were all exceptionally pleased!

Were there with two other families. Nice ambiance with historic interior, clean all around, decent garden (no service to garden though) however there was something wrong with the Sunday roast. 3 of us got the beef roast and all found it so poor.

Went for family meal while parents staying here. Food was really fresh and properly sourced for quality. Had the gammon and chips home made picallily. Although it adventurous gammon was great quality the chips decent and the picallily was delicious side. All four very happy...

Lovely atmosphere in historic building. Staff friendly and manager very knowledgeable about wines, of which they have a good selection. Food was good but limited choice and hard to find something suitable for children. Prices on a par with other premises

We had the most delightful stay at this lovely hotel. Lubos the Manager and Sarah looked after us so well. We arrived on Sunday and had an excellent Sunday lunch. In the afternoon we had a lovely walk to the Arboretum and then came back...

A really delicious Sunday lunch, I especially enjoyed the bread sauce with the chicken which you rarely get anywhere else. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff.

Staying at the pub we got breakfast as part of the stay and excellent service and food. Decent quality sausage and bacon (sign of a proper full English) and so highly recommended.

I chose this restaurant because in particular it had a good range of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu shown on its website - four/five (if you count soup of the day) starters and two nice looking mains - namely a wild mushroom and...

Went today for the first time, to dine As an aficionado of a good Sunday lunch, on seeing the handcarved, perfectly roasted slices of a rib of beef joint..I knew it would be good. Potatoes, veg, gravy..all excellent. Service is very welcoming and friendly. Yes,...

The food was amazing and beautifully presented. The truffle arancini were crunchy and so taste and the beef ox cheeks bourguignon was incredible, so tender I didn't even have to use the knife. Brisket burgers were really appreciated as well by our teenagers! Beers were...

Staff friendly, place itself nice enough, but that's about it sadly. Took the family for lunch 12th Feb and frankly terrible. Having ordered we waited a long time to then be told the ticket had been lost. The food arrived; the roasts were very small...

My wife and I visited the Horse and Groom twice in succession because it was so good! The first day we couldn’t sit in the main restaurant but the staff accommodated us in the bar. The food was lovely and the portion sizes were very...

Excellent customer service, easy online booking form and then when we were delayed they were incredibly accommodating. When we eventually arrived we entered to a very friendly welcome and loved the food which came really quickly. Thank you!

Gorgeous pub with great staff, delicious food and a great drinks selection. We had sausage and mash and the beef cheeks and they were both incredible!

If you are looking for all frills and dinner jackets....forget it...but The Horse and Groom has just served me as near Michelin star quality food as you will find for five times the price in London. Absolutely top notch grazing...could not fault any part of...

We live in a nearby village and stopped off here during a walk for lunch. It was busy and we had not booked but they kindly fitted us in. We both had sea bass which was just gorgeous. I would thoroughly recommend.

The tastiest soup EVER - wild mushroom and chestnut, served with warm bread and proper butter - what a treat.

We visit the Horse & Groom frequently and in general, we have been pleased with the service and the quality of the food. So much so that we decided to have Christmas lunch at the restaurant. We elected to take the second sitting at 3...

We arrived at 2:50pm for the 3pm sitting to be told by a rather abrupt barman in a black shirt that we’d have to wait outside along with many other customers, they should have said when we booked don’t arrive early. We then went back...

The meal and atmosphere far exceeded all expectation and the food was incredibly good. We were nervous having Christmas Dinner away from home but we didnt need to. It was exceptional and we didn't need to eat for 2 days!

A lovely, cosy pub and restaurant in a traditional Inn with tons of atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend a visit here.

Good atmosphere, great service, nice beers and great food although a little expensive, personally i hate discretionary service charges added to the bill.

Loved the open fire! Reasonable amount of parking. Good range of menu options - although they did not have my first choice. Friendly waiter and quick service. Tasty food and nice ambience. Would return.

We were on a road trip around the Cotswolds, and I was looking for somewhere on route to have either brunch or lunch. So, we stop on the off chance as we could see people working in the kitchen. The time was late morning, and...

Lovely venue friendly staff. Lunch menu lovely. Will try early sitting Sunday lunch next visit. Roast beef beautiful

Food ok drinks ok paid tab then notice a discretionary service charge ? Was not advised at all Having only had 2 drinks and a portion of chips scandalous in my view Will not be returning which we were for a good evening meal tomorrow
