Without any hesitation I'll state that I had the best burger of my life here, the Bull Burger! A substantial burger in itself accompanied with fries. What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment. read more

A very cozy pub with wonderful service. The food was the best we've had in the UK so far. Everything was delicious!

Great experience! There is parking, exterior court where you can eat/have a beer. Friendly staff. Good wine and decent food. The pub is clean and well organized. We felt warmly welcome. The owners were very nice to us. We had Room#5 with a bathtub and really liked it. Bed was a little soft and we could hear a little the neighbors upstairs but we would go there again without any hesitation. Overall a great experience :) read more

This pub come bb/ hotel is located in the heart of Charlbury in the Cotswalds. 1) The pub side of things. This is not your old style - Queen Elizabeth used to roast peasants here kind of pub - it is nicely modern....not too modern mind. It is clean and the atmosphere is genial. A good mix of young and old patrons. 2) The Hotel side of things Checking in and out was a doddle. The rooms were clean and modern....everything worked as it should. You have a TV and a choice of DVDs (admittedly not many) in case you get bored at night. Frankly I just spent it in the pub though...much better. The breakfast was just what the Doctor ordered...well maybe not the Doctor who looks after your heart or arteries and stuff but come on....its the countryside you deserve a proper full english breakfast - I did. The staff are really nice and friendly. The lady who makes the breakfasts was happy to get up at whatever time requested to make the breakfasts - no fuss no complaints...she was bang on time, the breakfast was great....... and she wore tasteful boots...ahem but I digress. read more

We popped on for dinner on a Wednesday night and sat in the bar since we hadn't booked a table. It was cozy and comfortable. The staff, both on and off duty were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and priced as expected for a gastro-pub. The fish and chips, £12, was really, really good. Not overly greasy and with a lot of flavor. The cauliflower soup needed a little salt but was good. It is made with almond milk and is vegan. The mozzarella and tomato salad was also tasty. Not sure where they managed to get tomatoes with flavor in October! They didn't have any stout available so we went with a local amber ale. It was okay. A little hoppy for me. We finished with a lemon posset (sort of like firm custard or pudding) with mixed berry compote. Yum. Overall a very satisfying meal. read more
