On our return, we were in a smaller room but it was equally comfortable. The front desk staff are excellent.

The location is perfect, right in the center of the historic town and just a few short, walkable blocks from the train station.

From the moment you walk through the door, you're met with that quintessential Cotswold feel--low beamed ceilings, warm wooden floors, and a cozy, intimate atmosphere that works just as well for a relaxed lunch as it does for a intimate dinner. It's quaint without trying too hard, and you can feel the history in the space. The staff are genuinely cheerful and welcoming, adding to the overall experience without being overbearing. Service flows naturally, you order your food and drinks at the bar before heading to your table. As for the food, it absolutely delivers. From the main courses, everything is thoughtfully prepared and satisfying, rounding out an experience that feels both comforting and a little special at the same time. If you're looking for a true taste of the Cotswolds--both in atmosphere and hospitality--Porch House Restaurant is a spot well worth visiting.

I like how they had a nice kids menu for £10 and kids scarfed down the cheesy pasta happily. I ordered one of the specials which was a halibut (£36) and it was super delicious! Gnocchi and fish were seasoned and cooked perfectly and I couldn't stop trying to eat every last bite. Other two in the party had the peri peri chicken and burger, both also praising the food. It was a very memorable meal and highly recommend it!

It's a beautiful and historic (over 600 years old) place. Perfect location on the main road in Broadway. Lots of little shops. It's nice to walk around outside. Very safe. They told me I could walk outside at 3 am and no one would do anything to me. Food at the tavern restaurant was good, not amazing but good. My friends who had spa treatments said they were great. The whole estate is so charming. No elevators tho! Uneven walkways throughout. Would go back and would recommend!

A regret of our trip was not having enough time to really explore the grounds more. Small but smartly decorated suite that somehow managed to be modern, cozy, luxurious, and evocative of the rural throwback fishing theme. Excellent amenities including Cotswold woolen blankets in the rooms and high end soaps and shampoos. Great, hearty breakfast service. High quality of food and service at dinner too. Impeccable service at the front desk. Sadly, with all they're doing right, there were still a few rough spots: Iffy wifi that only worked in the lobby. Activities that were highly touted on their website and were a main reason for our staying there, only to be booked solid all weekend. (They had slots for a paltry six individuals per hour, limited hours, and some of them were age restricted. Maybe some extra capacity could be added on busy weekends?) Rooms with no closets, and very little storage at all. (That was common for the rooms we booked on our trip, though. This would not be a concern for a couple on a weekend getaway, but it was challenging for a family on a longer vacation.) Overall, however, we loved our stay here, would recommend it and would return ourselves.

Here are my ratings: Location (5 Stars) - Right downtown and an easy walk around High street. Very dog friendly and very nice front desk staff. Bar (5 Stars) - Gorgeous inside bar area, which we saw both from ground level and via the upper catwalk to our room. Service was friendly and engaging. Patio (5 Stars) - Steller outdoor patio on a very nice day. We relaxed with our drinks and never wanted this experience to end. Dinner (5 Stars) - As fine a dining experience as we had during our week in the Cotswolds. We took dinner in a very nice dining room with comfortable seating and excellent meal choices. Breakfast (5 Stars). Breakfast was in the dining room and featured good selection, nice dining room, timely service, strong coffee, good portions, and tasty choices. You can't do much better than that. Accommodation (4 Stars). One thing we found about historic UK Inns is that climbing up the stairs with luggage is required. Yes, they'll help you, but we're starting to get a little old for this. The room was a big small, but we really appreciated having both a bedroom and sitting room, which accommodated our different sleep schedules.

We booked this last minute and as soon as we walked in, were ignored. A white couple came in after us and the blonde waitress went directly around us and took them to a table. I made direct eye contact as she was taking them, as if to say, I saw that and yes we're still here. She intentionally avoided us completely after as we were standing there waiting to be helped. The man behind the bar saw, seated us instead, and then we were ignored for another 20 minutes. I asked another blonde waitress if we could be helped and she said WE'LL GET TO YOU. She had never even acknowledged our presence or existence prior. I was already so upset we just decided to leave after that. We left with empty bellies and a trip to a local grocery store instead. There's a Yelp review from 9 days ago about this and one on TripAdvisor from this month saying the EXACT SAME THING.

Very good, traditional English meal - Crispy pork belly, creamy truffle mash, baby spinach, roasted button onion, cauliflower purée, apple sauce (£16.50) - delicious, especially the creamy truffle mash. Service was friendly although we had to catch their attention a bit more than I like. The space has a welcoming, well-decorated pub feel but well lit. We realized afterwards that they had out door seating which would have been nice to take advantage of with the fantastic weather! There is a parking lot out front.
