What an awesome hotel, everyone was friendly. No air conditiioning, but we survived well. Don't think that if you are from the states, you should rent a car. There are plenty of options for transportation vendors, the hotel will provide you the contacts. Beautiful part of the world.

I almost do not want to review this place because I consider it my American little secret. Great Rissington is a gem close to everything but completely removed - with southern facing views to die for, and a five minute drive to Bourton / ten to Slaughters. Perfect location but beyond that this quaint lil hotel and restaurant is simply what you expect if you are Cameron Diaz in the Holiday. The ceilings are low if you are tall, but for a short person it is perfection in plaid and rich wood. The staff is lovely, the rooms are cozy and clean, and there is something about the way the birds chirp here in the morning that is unlike anyplace I have ever been. Bravo, Lamb Inn!

Staff were all extremely friendly, from Amy helping with our booking to the serving staff behind the bar and in the morning - everyone was helpful, cheery and friendly. The bonus of continental breakfast included was a lovely touch, including pastries, toasts, ham, cheese, cereals, yoghurt, granola and fruit. Would absolutely recommend and happily stay here again.

Nice pub, poor service

Nice village. Pub was nice and food was good. Service by the pub was very poor though. We booked a table 2 months in advance only to be rang an hour or so before the booking to say some dishes maybe sold out. Also got told that the pub didn’t have our email address so we hadn’t been notified about additional charges for our stay even though we booked our table via email. Raised my concerns and received an apology. Even though the pub and food was good, we wouldn’t stay again as service was very poor.

It was not as expected for the marketed price of £207 per room.

The room (classic suite) was suitable for an overnight stay (I would switch out to sliding doors for the wardrobe and bathroom).

The pricing of the food \ drinks are expensive even for the area

Circa £4 per dish
Circa £1 - 2 per drink

Hospitality was a bit \"cold and icy\". Not entirely sure if this was down to us, however we were greeted coldly and when having breakfast were not asked for another cup of coffee when other tables around us were offered coffee 3 times.

I was apalled with the customer service . I asked before arrivals they due to family issues I would like to keep the booking and pay upfront for two nights as originally requested but I may not physically show up till Saturday morning and could they please not cancel the Saturday night if this was the case . I was told they would cancel if I didn’t show up Friday night despite them missing no revenue as I was paying for two nights and as alone would not be using the bar or restaurant . They then ignored requests to see this policy on hotels . Com or anywhere . When I arrived I received no pleasantries at all just taken to my room .

The Inn is really dog friendly and there were no issues with our dog being with us at dinner. The Inn is not too far from the surrounding villages and they were only a short car drive away. The only thing we would improve is that our room was above reception and we could hear everything when people were talking there. We would definitely recommend this Inn and look forward to returning in the future.

Weekend stay at The Lamb Inn, Great Rissington

We stayed here 15 years ago and thought we would visit again. The room was clean and very comfortable. We ate in both nights. The food was very good. The first evening we were not offered a dessert and were seated in the bar area. Asked for the restaurant the second night which was much nicer. Food went to wrong table. The only complaint is that the tables, although wiped were sticky. Every thing stuck to the table. Would recommend either place mats or a cloth. Staff were pleasant and helpful. A lovely situation being able to visit several different places. Overall a very nice stay.

The hotel is an amazing looking building on the outside and our room (The Rissington suite) was even more impressive from within.

Peace and quiet with good food as well.

I chose The Lamb for an overnight stop on a journey south and for that it was excellent. It is the pub for the little village of Great Rissington and along with the church is the focus of activity in the village. It is an old building - about 300 years old I was told - which means there are some low ceilings and narrow twisty stairways which give it great character and charm but you need to be agile! Although the building may be old, the fittings in e.g. the bathroom, are modern and up to date. It has a good restaurant which appeared to attract local people as well as hotel guests - always a good sign. On a hot summers evening it is possible to eat outside on the patio or in the garden area, which was very pleasant. Food was very good. Only black mark was initially being told I couldn’t have a coffee and a brandy after dinner, but that was eventually rectified. At night, there was no extraneous sound at all - if you don’t like silence then perhaps The Lamb is not for you, but if you are looking for an oasis of peace and calm then head for Great Rissington and The Lamb. I would certainly stay there again - happily. (Note for CPAP users; the individual nature of each room means you cannot be sure there will be a power point near the bed. The one in my room was quite close to the foot of the bed but the power lead with my unit did stretch the distance involved.)
