Bees Knees in Cotswold

Celebrated NYE here! Delicious food & super friendly personnel!

The hotel and gardens are decorated and maintained so beautifully and the hotel is comfortable, warm and cosy throughout. The Christmas decorations and roaring fires were so lovely in a cold December. All the staff across Reception, the Bar, the Restaurant etc were an absolute delight. The breakfasts were also delicious. We took our 6-month old puppy and there were many sweet touches for him such as as a dog bed and bowl ready in the room and a 'doggy sausage' at breakfast each morning. We were in a newly refurbished Cotswold double and it was decorated beautifully and was very comfortable. The only slight downside is that, likely because it's such an old building, the walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbours very clearly. This is the only reason i haven't given it the full 5 stars (I would give this 4.5 stars if Google allowed). It wouldn't stop me staying here again, I'd just take ear plugs next time. Brilliant location to explore Bourton on Water, Daylesford, Broadways, the Slaughters etc. Highly recommend staying here.

It was our first visit to the delightful Cirencester. Lunch and a nice drink were definitely in the plans and after a rather snotty and somewhat rude welcome at The Fleece (clearly they are very complacent) we were directed to The Crown by a very nice shop assistant in Crew Clothing. The staff at The Crown were extremely friendly and efficient and the food was excellent value. We will return!

Food was good. When it came to service, we asked ourselves why there were so many waitresses. We didn't notice much of it. We didn't feel accepted.

Booked for dinner on Thursday evening. The food is 11/10 & the staff are really nice. A must if you are in the area.
