• "The food was delicious, can't wait to book accommodation here again 😊"

Cons:

• "The one main we had was just fine, average, but the other, seafood linguine was literally tasteless."
• "The pizza for vegan is NOT woodfire, they use the gluten free base which is like cardboard."

• "Two Calzone, meat & veggie, arrived with burnt bases & almost raw tops."
• "The risotto was a bit dry (and mushroom, chicken and pork combo didn't quite work)."

• "Terrible, just terrible, service. I can't even call it service."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "We had brushed a few ants from the table but then realised that the windowsill and wall were crawling with them."
• "We were only in Cotwolds for a couple of nights and struggled to get booked in at a time we wanted, it seems a very busy place so I'd advise booking in advance."
