we arrived and the room we'd been offered was totally gutted and underconstruction so we were given a larger room. although the contruction initially was a turn off we came to love our room and our stay. marilyn was a gratious hostess and apologized for the B&B construction. Family difficulties/poor heath and flood of the town durning the last year has presented difficulties for the B&B. All and all we enjoyed our time there. We met other travelers over English Breakfast and the conversation and stories fun and enjoyable. Nice town with great bus service to other Cotswold villiages. Helpful Information Center in the middle of town. Fun Tuesday Market.

Townend Cottage is in a fabulous location, walk to train and all of the village. Mark and Marilyn were very friendly hosts - we arrived on Mark's birthday and were invited to join the celebration. = ) Rooms were clean and the breakfast was generous. Would stay here again.

We'd requested a room with an en-suite shower and upon arrival were offered a room with a bath - when we demurred she took us to "Tree House", a room with a shower area cramped, stained and dirty and with no hand-towels and a non-functioning extractor fan. The bedroom itself was very dusty and in need of a clean.
The breakfast was adequate but poor - eg the bread was thin and tasteless.
The 3 diamond rating we feel was misleading and that £70/night was way overpriced.

3 of us had a very comfortable stay in the cosy and tastefully furnished Clemetis cottage, which is a 17th century house, complete with exposed wooden beams. It is very well maintained, complemented by lots of cupboards, bookselves and even a collection of books and magazines.

The ensuite bathroom is enormous, as big as a bedroom in some other hotels/b&b. Other than the usual shower, WC, washbasin, it also containes a bidet and long bath.

It is conveniently located a short walking distance from the train station and at the end of the shopping street.

Marilyn, the host, is very friendly.
