Wheatsheaf Inn (Hotel)

My husband and I decided on a last minute mid week night away for our birthday and we found what looked like the perfect country inn to stay at and located only a short drive from Bourton on the Water… we were not disappointed. It was everything we had hoped for and much more. It had been the first morning of the year with snow fall followed by Arctic like winds, and so it was such a relief to receive such a warm welcome both by the staff and the log fires burning. Literally from the time we stepped in through the door we knew we were going to have the most perfect stay. This once old couching inn had all the character you would expect from such a beautiful old property, the fires and candles were lit, so warm, cosy and incredibly inviting. The atmosphere was homely and the decor stylish but in keeping. We had opted for one of the more expensive large boutique kingsize rooms. It was not a huge room, which you wouldn’t expect from an old coaching inn, but more than spacious whilst again remaining cosy. The room was simple and beautifully stylish, and the ambiance was such that we could have easily stayed in that room for the entire visit. The Hypnos bed was huge and comfortable, the bed linen, pillows and duvet were of a high quality, the coffee machine was a fabulous touch and there was a nice selection of complimentary teas, coffees and hot chocolates along with some delicious biscuits. The room bar was well stocked, there was a very tempting basket of snacks available at a reasonable price, the hairdryer was clearly a Dyson, the toiletries were divine, thick large bath towels and gowns and so many other nice touches and attention to detail. Although these are dog friendly rooms, there was absolutely no sign that a dog had ever stayed, the room was immaculately clean. There was a stunning roll top bath which obviously after a day out in the cold was a welcoming site, and a powerful rainfall shower. We opted to eat in the restaurant and that was equally pleasurable. I was surprised to see the dining room bustling for a midweek evening but that soon became evident why when our food came out. Absolutely delicious and the ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce in particular was mouth wateringly good. Next morning we were greeted again by the warmth of the log fires and lit candles in the bar and reception areas, then a breakfast that I can only describe as legendary not only in quality of ingredients but in quantity. The staff were attentive to our needs, incredibly professional and friendly from the cleaners, to the servers, to the manager, they were all a credit to this inn. We loved loved loved this place so much that we were tempted to stay by the fire, drink and relax, rather than venture out and see the sights of the Cotswolds. Had our room been available the next night we would most definitely have extended our stay… without doubt we will be returning to the Wheatsheaf and are already planning a short break here early into the new year. Truly fabulous and it ticked all the right boxes for me at least.

We had such a lovely stay with our dog. The staff were all really welcoming on our arrival. We stayed in the Bigger Boutique room which was so comfortable and the bathroom was really great (water pressure was perfect). We were in the restaurant in the evening listening to the live music. The musician was perfect for the time/place and chatted with us throughout his set. The staff were kind and attentive throughout and the evening manager made sure we had everything we needed until late. We booked bed and breakfast so in the morning, went down for our coffee and breakfast which was also lovely. Again, the staff looked after us, right up to our departure (late check out was free of charge as we booked direct) and we were also recommended local pubs and places to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for cosy and comfortable stay in a Cotswold village.

Love love loved this Inn! We called to inform of our late arrival and the staff waited for us to help us carry our luggage up the stairs. They had upgraded one of our rooms because it was available and we were so pleased to find our rooms, clean, spacious, comfortable, and adorned with lovely details. A basket full of snacks, refrigerator stocked with drinks, cookies on the nightstand and herbal toiletries. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning and tea and ice cream in the lounge area by the fireplace which was lit making a truly cozy inn atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Cotswolds.

We really enjoyed our stay! The rooms and Inn are beautiful and decorated to a high standard throughout! The whole hotel is dog friendly, the room had a dog bed, food and water bowls and a lovely doggy hamper! A Good thing is that the dog friendly rooms opened onto the outdoors which is great for late night and early morning wee walks! The hotel staff were really friendly and attentive! We would def stay again when passing through and will recommend to friends!

I stayed at the Wheatsheaf Inn as a surprise birthday trip and had the best time! The hotel had put balloons and a card in the room which was a nice touch ☺️. The room was super cosy and very clean. I felt comfortable straight away! Breakfast in bed was a bonus too! Staff were super lovely so I will 100% be back again soon! Perfect weekend away😇

Great pub hotel fab room friendly helpful staff. Food great but desserts ok . THE spotted dick pudding a bit dry and husband wasn't keen on cheesecake topping and this is usually fave dessert. Otherwise food fantastic perhaps more vegan options would be good because if I came with daughters very limiting. Would definitely visit again love that dog friendly although couldn't bring ours this time

Absolutely wonderful two night stay. Changed the booking a couple of times and Steven the GM was so accommodating. Staff so friendly and helpful rooms are amazing the bed is comfy food and breakfast incredible could not ask for more thank you so much
