더 램 인 버퍼드(The Lamb Inn)

This was our fourth visit to the Lamb and we were not disappointed. We were given a lovely 3 night break here as a Christmas present by our daughter who knew how much we had enjoyed our previous visits. Although the weather was foul the log fires burned brightly in the fireplaces of the bar and residents' lounge. We ate twice in the bar and had lunch in the restaurant when our friends, who live quite nearby, joined us for a lovely meal. The menu changes regulalrly and the same food is available in dining room and bar. Our room was comfortable and warm and the staff were as always very friendly and helpful.

So far the experience is not that good. We flew from Spain to come to this exact bar/hotel as we visited her with work 5 years ago. I didn’t like the way the food was cooked so had to ask for it to be changed and the manager of the restaurant came out pretty aggressively to argue with me on how it was cooked. We have two more night so I will report back after this one. So far we are very disappointed.

Great location. Cosy and lovely character. Great breakfast and dinner. But what really stood out for me was the service from all the staff. Especially the receptionist. Would stay again. I stay away many times per month (many with more stars and more expensive) and of the last 20, this was the only place I was asked if I had had an enjoyable stay.

This was the most overpriced hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff were rude, with the exception of one, and the food was acceptable. The room was up a steep staircase that resembled a ladder and the room carpet was stained and it hadn’t been cleaned to an acceptable standard. The bar was dirty and the window blinds were either missing or crooked with cobwebs in the corners.

We booked a table for a birthday celebration for Saturday night , a cold welcome to a table which I could not access the chair.. as it was push up against the near table ..I pulled the whole table and chair out so we could both sit down. We ordered the trout and a bottle of Chablis.. the waitress put the ice bucket in the middle of our small table with bottle already open ..not shown the bottle or opened at the table or poured !!! I asked could I have a cloth for the bottle as it was dripping water on to the table as I poured our wine . The trout was served to the table ..it was so over cooked it was bone dry ..I sent it back.. the waitress said she so sorry and agreed that it looked terrible, they offered me a replacement but with the very poor service and no cooking skills in the kitchen it was a NO from me. they offered a refund for my over cooked dry trout, the manager had agreed to this ...as I was told by the embarrassed waitress.. the manager was far to busy throwing away all the profits in the bin to come and see us at the table . This café could become a great restaurant but requires a turnaround as I am still waiting for the bread we ordered to accompany our staters . Do not recommend due to poor service from the whole team. 😒

Excellent periodic Hotel Pub, with superb food, in the Cotswold. We tried many different dishes. One of the best full breakfasts we have eaten. Nice little Restaurant and extensive gardens. Quite, round the corner location. Outside parking , no problem. A few Fire Places...lovely.

Paid £26 for two glasses of wine only to sit in a bar that was freezing cold (even next to the 1 fire they lit). Other people sat with their coats on. Come on Lamb Inn I realise it’s an ancient property but you’ve got fires - stoke them up! Fortunately the bedroom was warm and clean and they served a good breakfast.

An excellent two night stay at the Lamb. Friendly and attentive staff, attractive and comfortable room as well as an excellent breakfast - what’s not to like! We also ate at the hotel restaurant on our first night and that was a very good meal - particularly for the carnivores amongst us. All in all an excellent stay in an attractive part of the country (despite the appalling weather on the Friday and Sunday!).

A very relaxing one night stay-over, in a cosy traditional room and excellent facilities, with a lovely modern bathroom and everything you would need - especially the 'Molton Brown' hand wash, lotion and shower gels. The Inn has log fires in the comfortable lounges and the food here is very tasty and offers good value for a great choice if classic dishes. All staff were helpful and very attentive during our stay. We would certainly return again in the future.
