I had an amazing experience at the porch house. The staff was phenomenal. Very friendly and willing to assist as needed. The room was very clean and the bed was pretty comfortable. I even ate at their restaurant and the food was delicious. There is long-term parking down the street that is easy use. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.
Rochelle, 1-night trip

Would stay there again

My wife and I chose The Porch House for our 2 night stay in November becuase we perceived the common areas to be comfortable places to spend some down time in the Cotswolds. We were not disappointed. The Inn is very comfortable and the bar was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit small. Overall I am glad we stayed theyre and would definitely stay there again if searching for a room.

Beautiful

Beautiful all round. Room was perfect for a one night stay. Had evening dinner and breakfast and both were excellent. Would have no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Well done

This is a lovely historic property with a great restaurant. The only thing that could be improved is the WiFi. It was non-existent in our room and in the public areas we were required to give personal information and allow our phones to be tracked to use it. We chose not to.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel looks better on the internet.

The hotel is very old and quaint, however, a lot of the decor looked very tired and worn out. Couldn't tell if it was tired or just needed a good cleaning. The bathroom was not equipped well. No tissues or wash clothes. Window shade in the room was not working well. Bed was comfortable and sheets seemed fine. The access to the room was difficult because of some very narrow and low ceiling stairs. Staff wasn't overly friendly and they seemed frazzled and under staffed. We did have a very good meal in the restaurant.
Lynn, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

A nice and pretty place to stay for a night, but we were there for 4 nights and that is why we have rated it so poorly. Our room was small but nu
Lars, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was quaint, clean and the staff friendly and efficient. The room was very small and the room not made up the one night. Overall though good experience

Ho was great, helping us with the room, luggage, local services and basically everything!!! A special thank you to Mandy and Caitlin for looking after us at breakfast!!
Rory, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Whilst the food was nice and the waitress lovely, there were some really disappointing elements to our stay…our bathroom had some unsightly grimy areas…we stayed during a heat wave and whilst no one can control the weather, the room was unbearably hot despite the use of two old and not very effective fans…we had a very poor night sleep for this reason! The path to the outside garden area had an area that looked very unsightly with rubbish and various other items. Absolutely not worth the money for this stay and would not recommend or return.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The smallest room was excellent! Soft plllowsn and a vestibule to capture all of our travelling bags well.
Kirsten, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel...thought it was pretty cool that it's the oldest inn in England. We had dinner at the hotel one night and food and service was very good. Breakfast also delicious and made to order!! The location is very convenient to shopping and other restaurants. There is not hotel parking available, but paid parking is nearby. Our room was on the second floor and no lift in the hotel. A staff member carried our bags up the stairs for us. Everyone was very pleasant.

It was truly a pleasure to stay at England’s oldest inn. We loved our room, the history and the restaurant. We brought our dog as well, and it was just such a lovely weekend. Can’t wait to come back.

Historical old inn with lots of character.

The Porch House was a comfortable choice for a one night stay. The staff were friendly and the room clean and bed really comfortable. The inn is very old and has lots of character, but the bedroom and ensuite bathroom were quite small.
