Great idyllic hotel with nice...

Liked: I have stayed here before a year ago - liked it so much that I returned as was in the ideal position for my work the following day. Staff were friendly and the pub was busy with regulars from the village as well with other travelers like myself. Stayed in room 7 - strange and unique - the bathroom is up with the Gods - you have to climb a staircase to it.
Disliked: The only criticism is the stairs for the bathroom - not for the faint hearted or for those who have problems with their movement and definitely not for those who like a few jars before turning in as it would be one hell of a climb to break the seal. Having visited Holland many times - I have climbed easier Dutch staircases then that one.

Memorable evening

Liked: Standard pub and facilities. The stay was a last minute overnight and cost £165 via Booking.com. In hindsight, booking direct through the website may have been a more economic outcome. The bed and bedding was very comfortable.
Disliked: The curtains didnt offer much coverage and so the light came in at 5am. Otherwise it was a great location in Adderbury, in the very pretty Cotswolds.
