Fiona
On our arrival staff were very welcoming, and remained friendly and polite throughout.
We had an evening meal in the pub which was delicious and reasonably priced. If you want an evening meal here, I would recommend making a reservation as it was full and I heard staff having to turn people away.
If you’re looking for a modern hotel this is not the place for you, it’s a beautifully decorated olde world place that incorporates some of the mod cons of today’s world, I.e. WiFi, kettle and tv.
The room itself was very clean and comfortable and opened directly on to a shared courtyard with tables and chairs allocated to each room which is a pleasant place to sit and relax especially given we were in a heat wave when we visited. The direct access made life easier for us as we had our dog with us, so could take her for her walks without having to trudge through the hotel to do so.
The breakfast was tasty and freshly made, with a range of options available.
The only negative was someone was filling their van at 5.00am which woke us and people were chatting loudly outside at around 7.30. I don’t know if either of these were people from the hotel or from the neighbouring properties/motor home park that is located on the same plot.
Overall, we would recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again when travelling down south

Had fabulous stay here. Outstanding food and the staff were really lovely. Especially Johny and Paul who made our visit special
Jason
The room was clean and tidy, decorated in a nice style.
Staff top drawer, helpful and friendly.
Food was very good, the pie was perfect.
The only thing that would improve it would be a free standing shower or over bath shower. That's a preference not a criticism.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Thames Head Inn with friends. Lovely room, excellent staff & fantastic food. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
Garry
This is a lovely pub the staff very welcoming and a warm homely atmosphere.
We had an evening meal which was nice, then an absolutely lovely breakfast.
The room itself was ok I didn't sleep too well as the mattress was rock hard and so were the pillows so I woke up with a bad back.
Also there was no shower which was very disappointing I don't like having to take a bath where hundreds of people have been

Jo
The room, separate to and, around the back of the pub was stunning. It was warm and cosy with a controllable radiator for heat. Bed was very comfortable and we had a great night sleep. No shower, but a lovely bath with a handheld shower head. Perfect place to stay before starting the Thames Path. Food was elevated pub fare, and brekkie was the standard full English.

TIMOTHY
Lovely pub/restaurant with an accommodation.
Room was small, comfortable and quiet. Tea/coffee in room.
Freshly cooked full English breakfast was really nice.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Nice outdoor areas for when the sun shines.
Plenty of room to park.
When we stayed the restaurant was very busy and fully booked, so recommend booking in advance to secure a table.
Would happily stay here again.

Dale
Just had a three Night stay at the Thames Head Inn and really cant fault it. All of the staff were cheerful and friendly from book in, bar, chef and waitresses.
Our room was very cosy and ultra clean, and the the biscuits and tea and coffee facilities were very much appreciated. We visited Tetbury, Cirencester and Bath. All were very nice. The food is good also.
We know from experience how disappointing and hit and miss accommodation can be but not The Thames Head. I would fully recommend it

We loved staying at this traditional inn and pub, the room was small but comfortable, and the food was amazing - both dinner and the full English breakfast offered.

My wife and I were walking for two days on The Thames Path and the Inn was the perfect start. The room was clean and comfortable, staff all very friendly and food and drink great choice and reasonable prices.

The restaurant was good and staff where very good
Barbara
Property was very pet friendly ( Monty even had his own sausage for breakfast free). Small caravan/ motorhome site adjacent to pub, only four letting rooms but excellent value for money,so book well in advance to secure your room, will definitely be returning.
Sarah
Small rooms but very cute & had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Friendly staff & amazing food in the pub restaurant. Would definitely recommend & stay again
Terry

Room was clean and fairly well equipped… bathroom a tad dated but cleaned and functional… staff friendly… pub meal good … breakfast good, cheap eggs though and no coffee refill offered … all in all good value for money

April
Nice traditional pub
This venue is a good old fashioned pub. The food was amazing. I had an evening meal and breakfast. The price is competitive. The only reason i marked it down slightly was the room having really thick sone walls felt a little damp. I think in summer it's bliss and once winter starts and the heating is on it will be fine.
Robert
First class staff. Excellent meal. A very positive overnight stay.
Stephen
Excellent place from which to start Thames Path
Caught train to Kemble, then walked here to stay overnight before starting our walk along the Thames Path. Excellent location. Clean and friendly. Evening meal and breakfast were good, although this added to the accomodation cost.
Maria
Little Gem
What a gem ! Lovely room small but very comfortable with everything you need - great because door opens onto a courtyard which is brilliant when you have a dog with you. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble - We dined in the bar and the food was exceptional - my pepper sauce was delicious. Breakfast was outstanding - would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be returning.
Alex
Room ok, bathroom tired but clean.
John
The food was excellent with huge portions. My only critique would be the shower option was limited.
Frances
We enjoyed our stay at The Thames Head. Convenient location with just a short drive to Cirencester. Also close to Tetbury and Minchinhampton. Our room was very clean and spacious. The staff were wonderful and food excellent.
Brian
A very comfortable stay. Good quality food and breakfast.
Brandon
The Thames Head Inn is a great gem. It's about a 1 mile walk from the Kemble train station, I walked alongside the road since taxi service is scarce and had no problems. There aren't any other businesses nearby, so I ate dinner there as well (delicious) and paid for breakfast the next morning (also delicious). I hiked to the nearby source of the River Thames, which was neat to see. The room was clean, had a blackout curtain, and a private bathroom. The area was quiet overall and I didn't have any noise from my neighbors or the campers. Overall a really great find and I would definitely stay here again.
Stephen
Fantastic pub & lovely rooms.
Stayed for the night on way to Cornwall and also on way back
Staff friendly, rooms & pub very dog friendly.

A great place to stay with an excellent menu.
We arrived on time for a warm and very informed welcome. Booked in, key, restaurant booking and we were in our room in no time. The food and restaurant were excellent. Breakfast was entertaining as the chef was the waiter but that made for a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere.
Daniel
Loved the place. Great room, all very clean and well maintained. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast. Would definitely recommend
Ian
Great place to stay. foods good as is the accommodation. A little to far to walk or jog to local aatractions
Leigh
Beautiful Inn, clean tidy & very friendly staff
David
Wow what little gem in the Cotswolds. The accommodation was cosy but very nice. Could do with a bit more airflow on hot days/nights but apart from that fantastic. The inn has a great menu. Serves great ale and very friendly. Food was superb!
Breakfast was good traditional English cooked breakfast.

Lovely pub/inn in a rural location, but still close to town. Adorable rooms with everything you need. Highly recommend the food. Happy and welcoming staff, would definitely stay here again.
Sadie
Simply beautiful surroundings of the Cotswolds! This little B&B is more than that. The rooms are so cosy and more like little cottages. The pub and restaurant attached to this place are an ideal addition to this great stay. Electric hookups for caravan and camper vans too! Fabulous!

Barbara
No shower in the en suite bathroom was disappointing - just a shower head on the taps. But the food was perfect and the staff super friendly, helpful and professional.
Robert
The kitchen closes by 8:30 pm and I recommend that upon check-in the staff ask whether the guest would like to order breakfast for the next morning, because there is none if not ordered in advance. I haven't seen such an antiquated shower in years. A simple shower curtain would be a move in the right direction.
Jonathan
Perfect place for a night
I was hiking the Thames Path and stayed here prior to embarking on the trail. The place is charming with a typical pub aesthetic, comfy room, good food and drink and all well priced. What made it stand out was how friendly and helpful the staff were. I would definitely return!
Steven
Friendly staff, excellent food and beautiful location.
Julie
I’ve booked again for work. Lovely place.

Very nice pub and excellent service
The service and food was very good.
Not so good was the room which was very small and cramped.A small basin and a very poor shower. No shower curtain and no shaver point.

Lovely stay
This was a great place to stay a few nights. Pop to the pub to eat and have drinks which is great - very pleasant. Situated in beautiful countryside.
Verified traveler
Disappointing stay!
Not a good stay. Shower room desperate for upgrade, shower was just a single flow of water, either too hot, too cold but then just stopped mid shower. They were informed prior to our visit that my wife is coeliac and requires gluten free food. Very poor choice at evening meal but what we had was good. No offer of fruit or cereals at breakfast, just straight to cooked food. Absolutely no bread for my wife so she just had eggs, bacon and was still hungry when we left. All that said, the food was very good and served hot which sometimes makes a change. Sadly we wouldn’t stay here again.
Deborah
Snowy Stay!
Last minute one night stay. Very welcoming hosts. Super cosy cottage even in the snow! Love the quirky features. Pub wonderful… great food at brilliant prices. Great value for money. A surprising find… would love another stay in the summer this time and would recommend.
George H
Really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and welcoming. Great food and drink too, very reasonably priced.

Christopher
Owners and staff were lovely
Jacqueline
Always have a pleasant stay . Food at inn lovely , staff friendly , nice room . Would recommend . Due to the change of weather twin room a little cold as the radiator next to one of the beds didn't really throw out the heat. On the plus side the red hot water from the bath was a welcome bonus .
Mike
Suited our needs with a dog plus evening meal excellent
Lewis
Perfect for a trip to the Cotswold - see you next year! (3 years running)

A lovely stay at the Thames Head Inn. Food excellent and staff very helpful. Our room was cosy and comfortable. Very convenient for Cirencester and surrounding areas.
Mark
An excellent stay at the Thames Head Inn!
I stayed in one of the four rooms at the back of the pub. Nice rural location with plenty of parking. Room was clean and comfortable, but the best aspect of the stay was the friendly staff and excellent food. Portions good, and the pub has a great atmosphere. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and good quality. Would definitely stay again
Ricky
A lovely room in a great location. Staff very friendly and helpful.

This was our 3rd stay at the Thames Head, and as usual, we had an excellent stay. The staff are really friendly and chatty, the food is wonderful, with a large choice of dishes. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, good nights sleep. Would highly recommend a stay at The Thames Head anytime. Thank you.
Susan
Very pleased with our room.
The room looked lovely to walk into. We were only staying for 2 nights but the first morning our room was re stocked and the bed made as it was when we arrived.
