“Best pub Sunday roast !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We ate here today and were spurred to write a review as it was the best Sunday roast we'd eaten in a pub. We had the beef and porkroasts, starters and desserts and the food was delicious, hot and plentiful. We also had 4 kids with us ages from 2 to 4 and were made to feel really welcome. The staff were friendly and very considerate to the kids, bringing their food first, having. Large choice for children. Definateky would come back if in the area again.

Room Tip: Good for families

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I'm delighted you experienced "the best Sunday roast we'd eaten in a pub". We use the very best of local produce to give you the great taste of Cotswold life!

Having five children myself I understand the needs and requirements for those with little ones and that eating out can be challenging. The childrens menu is also selected using local produce and we aim to make it as easy and pleasurable as possible for mums and dads.

Hopefully see you in the near future if your passing our way once again

“Great food and staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

This is a fantastic family friendly pub. The food was great and with 4 adults and 4 children the change of getting something wrong was high but this pub was spot on. The Sunday roast was amazing and the children's meal sizes were very generous. We all had a wonderful lunch with perfect attentive service. Well worth a trip to the cute village to get some food here!!!!

“A Little Piece of Magic !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The whole experience of staying at The Lamb Inn, is wonderful !
From the very first moment that I called and spoke to Katie (a lovely, helpful, bubbly girl), to organise a surprise weekend for my husband's 60th birthday, right through to the end of our stay !
The location is ideal as it is set in a quiet village, but within easy reach of busier neighbouring areas of The Cotswolds, so really the best of all worlds !
Paul ,and his team made our stay perfect .Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The menu is varied and the food fantastic. Our suite was very comfortable and everywhere is spotlessly clean. We had a brilliant weekend and are recommending The Lamb Inn to all our friends. We shall definitely be going back ourselves in the future. Well done and thank you to everyone there.

Room Tip: All rooms are pictured on website. If in doubt make phone call..staff very helpful and friendly.

“Utterly Charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

This little inn was so charming it made my eyes water. The staff were friendly and shared a joke, the food was tasty and the location amazing. Having been to other areas in The Cotswolds which were extremely busy, such as Bourton on the Water, it was great to be able to wander around here and soak it in without fighting the crowds.
The twin room I stayed in was small but we hardly noticed, there was even an added sweet touch of a teddy bear on each bed.
My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer. Hope to come back one day and stay over New Years.

“Experience the Cotswolds without the Crowds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We were delighted with our stay in the Lamb Inn. Our cottage room in the garden, "Jemima Puddleduck" was spacious, with a comfortable, huge queen size bed,roomy, modern bathroom with shower/bath, and a sitting area with sofa, arm chair, coffee table and desk. A flat screen TV and coffee pot were also included. The furniture was new, and the walls were freshly painted. The few pictures on the wall were modern and bland - my hope is that the owner will provide something more picturesque in the future, (perhaps a Cotswold landscape?). The picture window looked out over the garden,and the back terrace of the inn. Our room shared the garden cottage with another room, with separate exterior entrances. Both of which opened on to a terrace with a small pond and a work-shed/studio. Next to the pond was a very small house built of cotswold stone - perhaps 1 foot by 2 feet. I do not know the purpose, but it was very charming.

Great Rissington is a tiny town several miles off of the main roads; there are no trourist attractions, but the houses and the view are beautiful. Signage from the A40 to Great Rissington was easy to follow, and as we approached the Rissingtons, we found signs directing us to the Lamb Inn. Burton on Water and Stow on the Wold were an easy drive up the road, (15-20 minutes). Day trips to Sudely Castle, Snowshill and trhe Roman Villa were enjoyabe and scenic.

Accessibility: My mother needed a room with easy access. We were able to get to and from the inn by walking down a short paved walk along the garden, with 5 or so shallow steps. Lighting at night made this an easy walk. A chair sat outside our room to accomodate outside smokers and enjoyment of the fall weather. We did need to walk down a set of 6 or 7 steps to get from the parking lot to the inn itself. The inn had a private parking lot that was sufficient for all the lodgers and diners.

Food and Pub: The Inn had a pub area that was fairly full each evening. Beyond the bar was a separate dining room where breakfast and dinner were served. In the evening, every table was occupied by lodgers and local diners. The food was very good with a stylish presentation. Fish, chicken, beef and vegetarian entrees were available. The chicken supreme was better than any I had in London. Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. Breakfast was included in our rates, and included cofee, tea, a variety of cereals, fruits, yogurt and pastries, or freshly cooked full English breakfast. This provided an excellent start to the day. Free WiFi was available at the bar, and at the tables outside the bar. I amused quite a few locals each evening when I settled down at one of thes tables with my headset to call home on Skype.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a quiet stay in the Cotswolds, away from the crowded towns, but convenient to them and to the historic attractions, to consider the Lamb Inn.

Room Tip: I did not see the other rooms in the Inn. Our cottage rooms in the Garden were wonderful.
