The best restaurants in Three Rivers Cotswold South West

My wife and I came here for a coffee to start our day. We shared some sourdough toast with butter and jam, while I had a cortado and my wife ordered a chai. We headed out into the garden and took a seat in the morning sun. The toast was excellent – butter and jam may be simple, but it’s always a winner. My cortado was very good, and if we’d stayed longer I’d definitely have had another. My wife, who’s something of a chai enthusiast, didn’t enjoy her drink, unfortunately. We spent around 45 minutes playing a card game before heading off, and overall it was a lovely, relaxing way to begin the day.

Lovely food and great service, too. Both my wife and I truly enjoyed it -- the souffle and desserts were excellent, and they had a good wine list as well.

Very friendly place and staff it's a must go

We were staying a very short walk from the pub in a cottage for a visit to the races at Cheltenham. Having already booked our dinner reservation on the Friday some of us who were early arrivals popped in for a drink on the Thursday evening. We were welcomed straight away and did not feel out of place not being locals. When we returned for dinner the following evening we were remembered and welcomed warmly again. Such friendly staff and service, great selection of food on the menu and an extensive wine list! We all enjoyed our meals and had a lovely chat with the staff before leaving. We have booked the cottage for next years festival and we will definitely visit the Black Horse again!

It was quite obvious that the place was still under renovation, and that was confirmed to us by the lady behind the bar. It was cold, and again she explained that elements of the heating system had been renewed and the switch-on had only just been reactivated. Service was attentive, but sadly, one of the meals was most definitely not up to their normal standard. When this was explained, it was immediately removed from the bill with an offer of an alternative, which was declined. Then water started dripping onto the table, and we moved to another table again, after immediate apologies. On paying the bill, I paid little attention to the detail, but later found, unfortunately, only at home, that an optional 10% service charge had been added. Considering all the foregoing, we found that it was a step too far. On leaving, we thought we might return - sadly, now we shall probably not!

A nice relaxing place for some food and drinks. Had the pie of the day which was steak and ale and it tasted great as well as a good portion. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, will be returning 👌.

Enjoyed a nice cream tea at an idyllic place on an idyllic day. Grounds were nice for a stroll. Service was excellent.

We attended a Wedding at Fosse Manor (in their Hyde Barn). The wedding catering was excellent. It is confusing to read the other reviews here as there was no actual restaurant on site that we could see - just the wedding banquet room and adjoining bar. Breakfast however was not good. Pre-cooked under 3 heat lamps and self-service. The tea was very weak even after adding more tea-bags! The breakfast room was styled like a hostel with long trestle tables for lots of guests to sit together, and was extremely noisy. After a night spent in the terrible accommodation here (for which we have written a separate review) we did not enjoy this experience at all. A shame, as the Wedding catering itself was very well done and managed.

We were extremely happy with our stay. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our party. David was funny, polite and helpful. The food was delicious and our rooms perfect. Even an ironing board ready! My clothes were all rumpled on arrival so that really helped. The only thing I would have changed is the weather ! But c’est la vie😊

Sunday Roast was amazing Great country pub tucked away in the Cotswold Dog Friendly Staff friendly Good service Good ales Recommend ........................

Beautiful location. We didn't stay there we just were in the area after a big walk but the staff were very nice and let some of our walking party go for a wee in their loos. So I would recommend this hotel. Really lovely looking place.

Last time we were at THB the place was buzzing and food delicious. We went last night for dinner, what a huge disappointment. The area we were sitting was grubby to say the least, the walls were filthy. There was a cable for fairy lights around the mirror. The cable was a complete trip hazard, it was pulled across from the plug socket and wrapped around the bar of the table the up and around a large mirror creating a potential accident. We waited for an hour before we were served, it was not busy. However, food eventually arrived. Not great. My friend’s sea bass tasted like it had been cooked in ‘old’ fat. It was changed for fish and chips, leaving the 3 of us eating ours and our friend eventually eating hers on her own. The fish and chip replacement had the same horrid taste. Only one person serving the whole pub, thankfully the place was not busy and we now know why. Friday start to a bank holiday, the place should be busy. Won’t be returning.

A perfect Easter Sunday Lunch. These guys know how to get it all together and provide excellent service and quality food. Can’t recommend them enough.

Arrived after having a year away to find no tea room and part of the shop (next to the actual water wheel). This is such a shame but I suppose its probably due to visitor numbers falling as nowhere to have a cuppa & snack although there are nearby alternatives that are comparable to what were the high prices. The remaining shop stock has stayed the same items of clothing and tourist pieces. Could do with a revamp, new stock items to breath fresh air into it. Other than that staff friendly as usual.

This was a very underwhelming visit to the Slaughters Country Inn this time. This isn’t a cheap hotel and we expected more in the way of cleanliness, security and food quality and standard for the money paid. Firstly I had to wash the bathroom floor with wet wipes when we arrived it was covered in dust and other peoples hair and didn’t look like it had been cleaned in a few wks. We found a few wood lice in our room during the stay. The dust at the spine of our room door on the carpet was thick and needed the nozzle of the hoover. The corridors leading to the rooms were needing hoovered and the red chandelier at reception hadn’t been dusted in months. When we came back after a day out on the Tuesday our room had been left unlocked by the house keeping staff, just as I discovered it a member of house keeping came Along and I reported it, he said he would report it to his manager, however, no one came near us the rest of the night or the next morning before we left to check nothing had been taken, which luckily had not. We also ate in the restaurant the first night, the food was not well cooked and over priced. My fish only half filled the batter it was inside, fresh air in the other half of the batter, my husbands chicken was dry and we hated the service charge being added onto the bill automatically. We didn’t complain as the Scottish guy serving us was very friendly, cheery and helpful. We’ve visited the Slaughters Country Inn about 6 or 7 times now and absolutely adore the village setting and the gardens which I have to say haven’t looked better but we have decided to try an air b&b in the beautiful village of lower slaughter next time and go to the inn for a drink and make use of there gardens that way rather than staying or eating there again. Sorry Slaughters you let yourself down badly this visit.
