My three daughters and I stayed at The Wheatsheaf from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day 2025, and it was a truly memorable experience. This was a very special and unusual treat for us, as my husband was away for Christmas for the first time in over thirty years. I wanted to create a warm and comforting Christmas away from home, and The Wheatsheaf delivered that and more.
From the moment we arrived on Christmas Eve, we were made to feel completely at home. We had booked two rooms directly through the website, each with a dog package for our two dogs. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully warm. When it became clear that our elderly golden retriever (JJ) struggled with stairs, we were discretely and promptly offered a ground floor suite instead of the first floor rooms originally intended for us. JJ was welcomed like royalty, with treats on every fireplace and staff who genuinely adored him. He was happily accepted in both the bar and restaurant, which truly reflects how dog friendly this hotel is.
What stood out most was the exceptional service and kindness of the staff. Their welcome felt genuinely warm and gracious, and you would never have known they were working over the festive period. Special thanks to Harriet and Julie, who made the experience feel personal and memorable from start to finish.
With roaring fires throughout the day and night, the hotel felt like a true Christmas home. The location is perfect, set in Northleach with lovely walks nearby, including the church just minutes away, known as the Cathedral of the Cotswolds. The food was plentiful, well presented, and delicious, and the Christmas package felt excellent value for what was included.
Pure magic. Thank you for giving us a Christmas we will never forget.
