Room near stairs so can hear quite a lot of the buzz of activity particularly at cleanup. Staircase creaking whenever anyone goes up or down.

Nice overnight stay

Just a quick overnight stay before an event the following day Room was small but had everything we needed & space for the dog Continental breakfast was taken in the room, adequate but a stay atvthe weekend where a proper breakfast is available would have been nice! Staff welcoming & we ate an evening meal there which was very good

Lovely stay at The Sun Inn.

Very welcoming and helpful Staff. Room was comfortable, with everything as advertised. It was a bit noisy some nights as the rooms are above the pub but you are warned of this and earplugs are provided. Food in the restaurant is very good, with good choices. We stayed three nights. The village is lovely and has good access to the rest of the Cotswolds. Would definitely stay again.

Will be here all day listing all the good about this pub/hotel. The only gripe i had, was having to go out and buy my own milk in the morning, for coffee and cereal, only a pittance was provided in the communal fridge, i noticed it in the evening before bed, assuming the staff would check and replace for guests in the morning, they did not.

rather tired, and old saggy mattress

The beer was superb and the room was lovely. Really comfy beds. Not very disabled friendly but that would be expected given that it is an old building. We would definitely stay again. Don't follow the link on hotels.com , go onto the pubs own website. We ended up 10 miles away in Banbury High St !

Rooms not great

When arrived with our friends from Canada there was no warm welcome, there is a narrow staircase from the bar area to get to the rooms. We requested a quiet room and were given the rooms directly under the bar, noise till 11.30pm. There was a church across the road and the bells rang until 11.30pm and started again in the early hours of the morning. Had a chat with the manager as we felt we were given the nosiest rooms, she was very blashy and quite rude. The food is nothing to write home about and as for the continental breakfast during weekday is very poor, a small fridge at the bottom of the stirs you get your milk, yogurt and some cakes, in your room you had cereal and tea/coffee. I only booked at this place because my friend like beer and there is a brewery in the village. The company behind these pub's have no hospitality skills and you can see this by the state of the rooms.

Great overnight stop with excellent food!

Stayed one night in a twin room whilst on a long walk. Arrived to a very friendly welcome from the manager, everything explained and shown to our room. Room perfect with good tea facilities (great homemade biscuits!) and a bathroom with large shower and good quality toiletries. We'd booked dinner which was just as well as they were packed, both had the short rib beef and it was delicious, servers were lovely and they had fantastic Naptons cider on draft! Bed's were comfy, it was very quiet and we slept very well. Breakfast doesn't start until 9am but they very helpfully let us preorder so it was all ready when we went down and it was an excellent full English. Perfect stay in lovely inn!

6/10 Good

Staff we're attentive and lovely, so cannot fault their service. Unfortunately, we had the room with the extractor fan for the pubs kitchen, so was very noisy until approx after 10pm. The building is old, so expected noise, unfortunately the floors we're very queaky and noisy in and outside the rooms. Hotel did provide ear plugs in the bathroom, however, I don't think the housekeeping realised they were open and used previously. It is a lovely hotel with lots of historic charms of the countryside though.

Great pub in a lovely village

Unfortunately due the heatwave the room was to small & it was like sleeping in an oven, I appreciate it wasn’t the owners fault , but a fan just didn’t do the job , we had our dog with us , happy to say it’s very dog friendly , the food was excellent especially the breakfast , would return in cooler weather

Excellent stay - a really nice big room, spotlessly clean with all the facilities you could need. For me the bed was too firm, but that's my back. Not easy to please! Thank you for a lovely stay.
Rosemary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were pleased with the breakfast on Sunday morning as we could order off a menu but then the next 2 mornings was only a few small items to pick from. Monday morning there was a person to help out if we needed anything but Tuesday morning there was no one to be found. When I went to pay for the stay (it said to pay at property) I had to leave the money with cleaning staff. Then I get an email that says they charged my card on the first day so they ended up keeping my money and putting a credit on my card. We were frustrated with lack of communication and the idea that no one was there to check you out and take your key was baffling to us. Otherwise everything was fine.

Not too happy

Arrangements for breakfast were haphazard and inadequate. Dinner was fine. Bedroom was ok as was the shower.

The bathroom needs some TLC. There's a smell in there that wasn't pleasant. The shower cubicle is worn and unsightly. There's mold in the corner of the shower..
