I loved the decor in the room and it was spacious which was great as I had my grandchildren sharing with me. The bathroom was also lovely and large. I was specially looking forward to having a soak in the claw foot bath after a long day with two eleven year olds. However, there was a problem with water supply - as in - there was no water. Whilst I accept this was not just this hotel but in the wider area, it would have been nice to have been informed of this and supplied with extra water at least for teeth cleaning. As it was a hot day we had consumed the complimentary water by this time. A note under our room door would have been appreciated.
The breakfast was 'ok'. I've definitely had better - not impressed with one rasher of fatty bacon and one small mushroom. The sausage was tasty and whilst the poached eggs didn't look great, they did have soft yolks

The best part of our stay was the food in the restaurant. It was exceptional. The worst part was the 38 steps up to our top floor room and the quarter mile walk to the car park. The bed was comfortable, the Nespresso coffee maker was nice and the shower was just OK, having only a rain head and no wand. The bar is great for what’s on the bar menu but lame for US cocktails. For instance, the bartender didn’t know what either a manhattan or Rob Roy was.

Charming hotel in the center of Cirencester with friendly staff. Rooms are on the small side but have everything you need. Note that there is no A/C but there was a fan in my room that kept things pleasantly cool. There is no lift so rooms may not be accessible for everyone (but they can help you carry your suitcases to the room). The bathroom has lovely amenities (White Linen) but be careful getting into/out of the tub as it can be slippery. Breakfast is available in the dining room with multiple tasty hot options and a nice cold buffet with cereal, juice, yogurt, fruit and pastries. Coffee & tea are also available in the rooms. (I suggest making coffee in your room since the coffee served in the dining room is mediocre; this was really the only negative of the stay). We had dinner one night in the pub/restaurant and it was very good with plentiful vegetarian options.

With the hotel sprawling over three houses of different builds and levels there is plenty of character and to get to our room no.14 meant crossing all three houses and manoeuvring over 25 steps, some up, and then a few down again, but it was great fun, and this reviewer is 80.

We were expecting a great experience, as it said it was a five star hotel on Expedia. It definitely did not feel like a 5 star hotel. The check in staff was rude, the sheets & pillows had stains & tears and it was very loud in our room from the restaurant downstairs as well as from other rooms. We would stay elsewhere if we visit Cirencester again.

Unfortunate room problem

Unfortunately luxury king bed room we had booked had problems with heating and the hot water so it was too cold to stay in, so we had to be downgraded to a compact double room, nice and warm by comparison, but the bathroom was through a door and down a few steps somewhat of an inconvenience by choice, evening meal although was lovely and plenty of choice for breakfast all cooked superbly so overall not a complete disaster

Nice hotel and location but needs a good clean

Hotel was a great location and the bar was great. Breakfast was nice but the full English could be bigger, you get one of everything, 1 egg, 1 hash brown etc…
What let the hotel down for us was the cleanliness of the room. The bathroom was dated and unclean, the shower needed a good scrub and the kettle, coffee machine etc in the room were covered in dust. I asked about another room but they were fully booked so this was not available.
It’s a lovely hotel but the bathroom needs updating and a good clean, this is is pretty basic.

Disappointed

Both restaurant and bar staff needed more training ( they were not familiar with names of drinks or liquor coffees.
3 main courses were not available on the evening we stayed and we were not advised of this untill after having made our choice, so it was very disappointing as this was meant to be a special occasion plus there was very little to choose from, so bad communication amongst staff.

Title: Exceptional Experience at The Fleece!

I recently had the delightful experience of staying at The Fleece in Cirencester, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we checked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

Our room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The bed was a dream to sleep on, ensuring we woke up refreshed. We were also impressed by the high-quality toiletries from The White Company, which added a luxurious touch to our stay.

Breakfast was another highlight—delicious and satisfying, it set us up perfectly for the day ahead. Additionally, the late check-out time of 11 am allowed us to relax a bit longer before leaving, which we truly appreciated.

Overall, our time at The Fleece was wonderful, and we can’t wait to return. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we’ll definitely be recommending it to others!

Thank you to The Fleece for making our stay so enjoyable!

EXCEPTIONAL STAFF

From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble for the staff - that includes all departments, always pleasant, friendly and professional - all done with a smile. We were lucky with the parking and arrived early so there wasn't a problem to find a spot although there is limited area at the back of the hotel. Warm welcome ,our room was on the first floor - room 2 - it was ok, good size, well decorated with small bathroom -the only real
negative was that it was a bit dark and even though there were 2 chairs to sit ,they weren't really that comfy to relax and watch the tv - we were staying for 2 days over xmas.
Great dining area's and bar area all really nicely decorated. Food was excellent - we had 2 breakfasts and Christmas Day lunch which were all really good - very tasty and good quality.Thanks for a lovely stay.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay again but maybe upgrade our room next time

Birthday weekend

We could not fault the room we stayed in, 23, a signature room. We would definitely book again.
We had a drink in the bar the first night and the staff were attentive and it was a great cosy atmosphere.
Breakfast the next morning was just what the doctored ordered. The yoghurt and granola was delicious.
The second evening we had the sharing ploughmans with some chunky chips, just enough to keep us going.
The only issued we could say is the service for breakfast on the Sunday was extremely slow with people being served first who came in later and the muffin for the eggs benedict was tough, as though it has been frozen and defrosted in a microwave.
But this did not detract from a great hotel.

Lovely hotel, fantastic location. Staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Lovely bar and restaurant. Nice atmosphere.
Our room was nice, and clean, good facilities. Nice touch with the cushion and bowl for our dog. Breakfast was lovely and there was a great selection.
Our only slight criticisms are: our room was quite small and very, very warm - uncomfortably so. There was a fan but it didn't help much. And our room was very noisy. Both from the room above, and from some kind of very loud generator noise. But overall it was good and we would recommend.

Although I don't believe this is a 5 star hotel, I had a pleasant stay none the less. The room was starting to look tired, but it's all part of the charm I guess. Very good location, and easy to get other popular parts of Cotswolds. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Only had 2 issues, 1st being the extremely loud creaky floors that kept waking us up (although, I appreciate its an old building, so not much can be done there). Secondly, I had to wait 45 minutes for a sausage sandwich at breakfast, while my other half had had hers and finished, and still didnt get my order, so I ended up going elsewhere for breakfast. I do believe that was a one off, not something that happens regular.
Overall enjoyed my stay and would stay again.
