Beautiful Cotswold hotel in a quiet area free from the shopping tourists. Lower and upper slaughter are what Bourton-on-the-water use to be. It is quiet, pretty and has access to a number of country walks. Bourton is an easy walk away so you don't have to fight for parking spots. Breakfast is wonderful as is all aspects of the restaurant and the very friendly staff. They can't do enough for you. Our room was a good size. the bed was big and very comfortable. The room also had a very functional desk. The bathroom is a good size and water pressure is good. Heating is effective and easy to manage. The hotel is very quiet with beautiful grounds and surrounding areas.

The property is located 34 km from Kingsholm Stadium, 42 km from Walton Hall and 44 km from Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Royal Shakespeare Company is 44 km away and Lydiard Park is 46 km from the inn.

Freshly made cooked breakfast with plentiful options. Locally sourced selection which was very impressive. Copious amounts of tea/coffee and fresh juices. The room was quaint, comfortable and clean, with additional tea facilities within the room. Additionally, bottled water was placed either side of our bed. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Chris really went out of his way to ensure our break was memorable. We would return just to see him again. We booked in for the dinner on the second evening. Goodness me, it was first class. I highly recommend the Plough Inn, Cold Aston as a 'must visit' on your visit to The Cotswolds

Stratford-upon-Avon is 38 km from the inn, while Cheltenham is 33 km from the property. The nearest airport is Gloucestershire Airport, 41 km from The Horse & Groom.

Absolutely perfect. One of the few B&B’s in the cotswolds that is not right on a main road, making it a perfect quiet retreat. The rooms were small but spotlessly clean with plenty of storage. Excellent breakfast and dinner, wonderful atmosphere all around.

    This is a gem of a stopover. In a beautiful village in wonderful countryside, this was a stopover on a 800 miles journey. The welcome was brilliant. Dinner exactly as we hoped followed by a great night’s sleep and superb breakfast. Fully refreshed for the next and longer stage of the long journey.

    The Duke of Wellington pub is in a fantastic location in Bourton on the Water with easy access car parking. The room and bathroom was small but clean and cosy. Bed was reasonably comfortable. There was no noise in my room despite being above a pub but there were no events on the night that I stayed. Breakfast was generous and tasty though dinner the night before (purchased unrelated to our booking) was average. I would stay here again if I was back in Bourton on the Water.

    Very charming inn in an equally charming cotswolds village. Very quiet apart from plenty of birds singing and not as touristy as some other places. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Best part was probably the beautiful food (cooked breakfast and dining). Lovely garden at the back and very dog friendly.

    Friendly, attentive staff. Authentic historic Inn in a great location with easy access to busy attractions but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Food was excellent.
