Matt
This hotel is past its best. Very quiet when we arrived at Saturday lunch time. Sticky dining tables - the varnish apparently. Unloved and uninspirational decor. Room 8 : a dark mark on the carpet as you walk in, lacklustre room, light fittings falling off by the bed. It did not feel like a boutique hotel at the price we paid - £120. To the owners - please take a good look around - or go and spend a night in room 8.
James
What a wonderful place, and an excellent deal with English breakfast. Highly recommended.
Katie
Very welcoming and helpul staff. The parking was easy (plenty of space). Our breakfast was delicious
Alison
Room and Breakfast were amazing as always
Philip
Disappointing stay raised with the manager but no meaningful resolution.
The staff were friendly and the room had some positives, including clean linen, a good-sized TV and convenient parking, but unfortunately the overall experience was very poor.
The hotel felt in need of a thorough clean and better maintenance. There was thick dust on ledges and surfaces, smeared glass, sticky breakfast tables, dusty artificial plants and noticeable limescale in the bathroom. The extractor fan did not work, the toilet dripped throughout the night and several holes in the shower head were blocked.
The room was also uncomfortably hot despite the radiators being off and cold outside, and the soundproofing was extremely poor. We could hear ordinary conversations and other activity from the neighbouring room very clearly.
Breakfast was the biggest problem. We had pre-ordered for 7:50am, but the kitchen was not properly operating when guests arrived. Our food came more than 40 minutes late, which made us late for a meeting, and my avocado on toast was served on completely untoasted bread.
I raised all of this directly with the hotel before posting a review. The manager acknowledged the issues but offered no compensation or practical resolution. I replied asking how they intended to resolve the matter and received no further response. Expedia also said they could not assist.

Had a lovely welcome when I arrived and the bedroom was very comfortable.
Food in the restaurant was excellent and the lady who served me was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
I would definitely go again as it was easy for a solo traveller

Marie
Cooked breakfast was good but the buffet was very sparse.
Lack of choice.
All that was on the buffet was 2 cereals, tangerines a couple of yogurts, basic bread,
a couple of fruit juice and a coffee machine that hardly worked.
Never seen a buffet so basic

This was our third stay at The Ragged Cot and we always have a lovely time. Its position is so convenient to visit many lovely places and has good on site, safe parking. Nice cosy atmosphere with nice bar and restaurant and loads of outside areas to sit. Rooms are basic but ample, the only issue is that the bathrooms are beginning to look very tired and surprisingly there was only 2 tiny complimentary soaps - no shower/body wash or shampoo. Beds are very comfy.
Staff are very attentive and friendly at all times

The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff was warm and welcoming, the drinks in the pub were fantastic (as were the other patrons).
Stephen
Room 7 extractor fan not working. Both windows can’t be propped open. No mirror over desk so hairdryer cannot be plugged in near a mirror. Shower floods bathroom floor. All staff tried hard but were overstretched. At breakfast many things were only available if asked for. Evening meals not good value for money. This is not a 4 star hotel.

Easy check in, lovely building, clean and comfortable room, delicious breakfast.
Jenny
Very clean, quiet, nicely decorated room. Staff were friendly and it was a good breakfast - with pastries, Yoghurt and a full English on offer as well as smaller plates like eggs Benedict. We were expecting a larger/cosier bar area for drinks on arrival - but assume tables were all laid a d taken for Xmas parties

Not great
Shower and sink were blocked water didn’t drain away quickly enough and the bathroom floor was one big puddle.
Breakfast table was so sticky the cutlery was actually stuck to the table. Table was dirty from diners the night before.
I could go on but to be honest very average.

Dinner in the pub was great.
Cooked breakfast was served very quickly and was fantastic.
As a surveyor, is say that extract fan not working in the ensuite to Room 4 will mean that the room will get a musty smell if not sorted.
Would come back certainly. B

Not so ragged
Good location and very friendly, our room was hot, but in fairness so was the weather. Breakfast well cooked and presented

Post wedding night away
We needed accommodation after attending a wedding nearby . We were able to drop by in the morning and collect a key to let ourselves in later on as we were going to arrive late at night after reception closed. The lady who showed us how to let ourselves in was also working in the breakfast room the next morning and was very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was delicious and perfectly cooked and presented. We had a very comfortable night's sleep and a lovely shower with nice thick fluffy towels. Will definitely come back next time to try their lunch menu as the outside gardens looked lovely

Good location for a few days visiting the area. Good size room and shower room. Drawback being just how noisy ground floor room was. Could hear everything from the room above along with traffic passing close by

Pleasant enough
Pleasant enough hotel although I wouldn’t call boutique. Breakfast average. Bedroom cold and noisy. Shower good and comfortable bed. Wouldn’t return although staff were lovely.

The Ragged.Cot is a lovely place. A little out of the way, for walk to locations, but an excellent restaurant is on site and it is close to other locations if driving. I enjoyed my stay.

Great team
Lovely reception as we were running late due to the RIAT event. We called ahead to let them know we were en route & that we may be a few minutes late for our meal time in the restaurant, but the team were so welcome & confirmed it was fine.
Val
Friendly staff, delicious food.
Craig
Lovely evening nice food too
Neil
Very cosy but modernized historic property! Had its own pub and restaurant serving delicious food and drink, and our hotel room included a cooked to order hot breakfast. It’s in a quiet countryside but with easy access to towns for any needed supplies. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
Rosemarie
Loved it.
Only stayed 1 night but felt welcomed and relaxed throughout. The room (no.6) was quirky & spacious with a good size ensuite shower room. Plenty if storage (not that we needed it), tea & coffee facilities and toiletries, oh and a hairdryer! Our only negative would be the noise from the road but that can't be helped in this location. We woukd recommend the Ragged Cot to everyone.
Paul
Quirky, old renovated inn. A small number of bedrooms makes the Ragged Cot a great short stay destination. Rooms are not large but more than adequate. Coffee/tea in room. Nice toiletries, crisp cotton sheets. We had Sunday lunch which was excellent. Breakfast included also very good. Good Wi-Fi and lots of on-site free parking.
The only small issue that we encountered was that on this occasion we had a ground floor room. Unfortunately, we were disturbed by the guests upstairs moving around.. we have visited on a number of occasions and will return soon.

Expectations not met
This place has clearly seen better days. Great potential but the pretentious menu and prices should be backed up by great food - and sadly was not. Please avoid the sad tasteless scallops festering in a horrid gloop at £22 and the nice venison ruined by the rest of the plate or the avocado blob on soggy toast for breakfast! Comfortable bed spoiled by totally unsafe shower. Staff helpful and pleasant, nice garden and room all let down by lack of attention to the quality of the food. Shame really but an expensive mistake.

Excellent value for money, great location, nice atmosphere, good menu and food quality was really good. Comfortable room, good size and comfortable bed, only slightly noisy at night with other guest moving around above our room but no biggy really. Would recommend

Really enjoyed our stay at the Ragged Cot. Staff were friendly and food was amazing. Had an issue with the shower tray draining which was promptly fixed after it was reported. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks very much.

Not a large place to stay, but big car park .
Has old world charm on the outside, and very peaceful, you are treated well as a guest ...you matter to them, which is important .
Room was adequate for our needs and the food and drinks were good..

It was clean and pleasant. The room had a kettle
and hairdryer. Toiletries in the bathroom. We didn't have any problems from the alleged ghosts.
I can't comment on the area as it was dark when we arrived and foggy when we left! It seemed to be in quiet countryside.

Lovely decor and atmosphere. Very friendly staff and happy to help. Bedroom nice size with big comfy bed. Tasteful decor. Breakfast was good
RICHARD
One night romantic stay
Issue with room provided at check in but quickly resolved and upgraded to a lager room
The room was clean and comfortable with a good shower
Fantastic evening meal with great musical entertainment within the restaurant
Breakfast could run a lot smoother if they had fresh brewed coffee on the buffet table and not a single coffee machine , and a better
toaster
I really enjoyed the cooked full English breakfast
Great overall service from the staff
I would definitely return if in the area again

I came back at 11 and couldn’t get in . I contacted the hotel and left 5 messages asking for help . The areas around hotel are unlit and after about 30 minutes of blundering around in the darkness I found a way in . The food was good at breakfast but there is only one station for tea and coffee and toast so only one person can attend at a time . If you want just a room for the night it’s fine but don’t go out in the evening as you may not get in or hurt yourself trying to get in .

Adequate for the price with a nice garden
Adequate for the price and a comfortable bed. Took 10 minutes to wait to check in whilst staff were on break and other staff unable to help. Offered a dining discount but didn't receive, noisy with room next to the road, some menu items not available even at 7 pm. Fish and chips just ok and breakfast very basic and just ok. Friendly service and beautiful garden area
Teresa
An ok stay
The hotel is a busy pub with the accommodation down a corridor to the back of the hotel. The room was very small, especially the bathroom and although fairly clean had a cigarette/musty smell.
Breakfast was good and staff friendly.
We were in the area for a wedding so just needed a place to stay near Minchinhampton, but I wouldn’t stay there again.
