The Old House At Home

Beautiful and very spacious apartment. Fully equipped kitchen. King bed and bunk beds in separate bedrooms. Bathroom has bath and separate shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had a lovely time and would come back. It’s convenient for the Cotswolds, Bath, Bristol and lovely countryside and villages nearby, and not far from the M4 - though it’s in a quiet little village. The pub itself is lovely too.

Very limited parking. None available for staying guests in busy days. Room not serviced even when notice inside says towels changed daily!! Meals good but overpriced for area

Start to finish... plentiful free parking, comfortable bar and easy check in, friendly, polite staff through check- in, dinner and breakfast, amazing dinner (pricey but exceptional), comfortable king bed in spacious room with walk in shower (room 6 superior). Filling breakfast included with superior room - extra money covered price and well worth it. If had to criticise... smell of bleach in bathroom initially a little overpowering (does reassure was cleaned though) and could also benefit from usb sockets. No particular view from room but pleasant terrace and outside eating area available. Found too late tea room across the road with alpacas in the field!!

Lovely spot - friendly team, recommend

Friendly staff, great food

Lovely location, great breakfast and comfortable room

Unbelievably good food!!! Friendly atmosphere. Very comfortable accommodation. I would definitely start there again.

Everyone was helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and better than expected. Check out was quick and efficient. Latte we ordered at check out was also excellent and better than expected.

Staff were friendly and the service was great throughout our stay. Our room was a very good size and was clean. Our bed was huge and very comfortable. The third bed was a folding bed which our son also found very comfortable. The room had the usual amenities and is part of a detached block. We had dinner and the food was amazing, some of the best pub food I've eaten. Breakfast was also good but a the service was a little slow. Some of the negatives include: * The soap / shower gel dispensers weren't working quite right and you would only get a tiny dribble of soap. * The areas was generally quiet but the accommodation block faces the road and I did wake up in the evening when a vehicle (an HGV) came by. * When we checked in we were advised that we would need to pay an additional fee of £20 for the third (child) bed. I check the email confirmation and the message from the Hotels.com and neither stated that there was an additional charge. It was only when I looked at the booking page and buried somewhere in the description it stated that the room rate was for two occupants only. I see this as a stealthy way of artificially reducing the room rate rate and I've never had to pay this at any of the other hotels I've stayed in. When you specify the number of occupants of a hotel room I would expect that the price shown is the price you pay for all. So overall not a bad hotel and would recommend the food but would probably look at other hotels in the area.

This lovely pub, with separate accommodation block was a real find. Definitely recommend it to others. Free parking available at the accommodation. Good WiFi signal in the accommodation. Delicious meals available in the pub next to the accommodation. A real find!

Lovely rooms friendly staff… great atmosphere in the pub as well!

From checking in at the bar you know that the quality of the room is going to be of a good standard as the pub itself is very nice modern but still classic feel of a country pub. Ate in the pub 1st night of the stay and food was a very standard and reasonably priced for the quality. Only slight negative we had was that although it’s in a quiet village a lot of traffic seems to come through it and can be heard in the accommodation. Will definitely use again when we come back down to visit our friends.

Great service, clean and comfortable. The food was also delicious!

The room was spotless, great shower and the fact they got the taps position correct.( normally it’s over the shower head which is silly ) Easy parking and wonderful smiley staff. I’d definitely book this place again.

Enjoyed our stay

Best food and great rooms

Lovely property, with lovely staff. Was lucky to get an upgrade to the apartment, which was a lovely, spacious clean space that anyone could enjoy. Breakfast was also very nice.

Great location, friendly staff, reasonably priced

I love this place. I have been here many times. The rooms are lovely. Very tastefully decorated and comfortable. I only wish they would serve breakfast at a business-person’s time. At 0800 it is crazy late for a work day.

Lovely

Lovely

Our stay at this lovely pub was fabulous, the service from the staff was amazing and they were just everything you could want. The room was warm and comfortable and the shower room was lovely too.

The property was fine for our one nights stay. It was on a busy road so quite noisy got woken early

We had an amazing stay for two nights with our little pug too. Food was awesome staff were super helpful and friendly great atmosphere. Would highly recommend we very much look forward to coming back.

After trying to contact the venue to speak to someone, i have still not had any response. I booked for a 2 night stay and my parents also had a room booked for a family wedding. The first night we had a lovely meal in the restaurant, absolutely cannot fault the food and wait staff. However both rooms were dirty. Mum and Dads room was a bit dusty, mine was really dirty. Every surface covered in dust, pulled the bedside table out to plug my phone in, it looked like hadn't been cleaned in a long time and after taking a shower, i walked into the bedroom and my feet were dirty. I hardly slept the first night, i was wheezing and sneezing all night and the security light outside kept coming on outside. The next morning I was going to speak to someone however the housekeeper started coming round the tables at breakfast. We mentioned the issues and she said she hadn't gotten around to deep cleaning my room yet, she had only done the first 3 and on her own, close to retirement and nearly crying when we said the room was dirty. She was super helpful in making sure my parents room had a good clean that day. I had to move rooms whilst getting ready for the wedding which wasn't ideal but the second room was at least cleaner. It was a very expensive treat and no one from the restaurant has contacted me. The restaurant was also very dusty.

Excellent cabin style rooms with great walk in showers, however, the rooms were difficult to excess while carrying luggage or for the disabled.

What a beautiful place - home from home

We had a lovely time at this venue. It was extremely comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We were really impressed Thank you!

Great little retreat and excellent food and friendly staff

Friendly staffs. Quiet environment. I like the room and welcome stuffs. Good space.

Good food and accommodation. Helpful and friendly staff and only 5 minutes away from Castle Cone circuit.

Lovely place, clean, stylish and spacious rooms with great rainfall shower. Pub serves one of the best Roasts

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Room was very good. The bar served good drinks and the food was also very tasty.

It was so awful that we didn’t stay!!! We arrived and there was no where to park and the girl at the desk said she didn’t know how to check anyone in and could I wait for the manager, the manager’s solution to parking was that someone from the bar would probably leave in the next hour! How can you have a hotel with no parking and it was on a busy road and there was no parking anywhere around. We drove up and down. Eventually there was a parking spot which another car then tried to take and I had to stop them. We then found that we had to climb two external flights of steps that we had not know about, this wasn’t in the hotel information. We would not have booked had we known this as our dog has a heart condition. The hotel whilst stating it is dog friendly has no areas where dogs can do their business. No the room… well I cried, it was dirty, I picked up the blanket across the end of the bed and ended up with a dusty powdery film left on my hands, there was dogs hair in all the nooks and crannies where it had not been cleaned sufficiently. It made my skin crawl. I didn’t bother complaining at the time because I was too upset, I just handed the key back and left. £209 down the drain! I also didn’t stay long enough to take photos. This is not a standard I would expect from Hotel.com Very unhappy customers.

It was great service food a room were fabulous but I fear my car got bashed in the car park I have no proof no cameras bit I did have white paint/ chalk and the car was cleaned that morning so there was no damage then. Can’t blame anyone other than the person who hit it and did not report it. Slightly put a dampener on the trip bit I can’t blame the pub and staff such a lovely little spot, food was great a real comfort pleaser.

This was not what I expected - the rooms are really good and the walk in shower the best I have stayed in ! I thought they would be in the main building but they are out the back, and it is so much quieter there than it would have been above the bar/restaurant . Food awesome and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are a bit of a "climb" up stone steps though, so not great for my mum who walks with a stick..but once up there... it was grand. Also - the floor is very hard. I broke my phone when it fell.. but it looks great :) phone not so much .... :)

Only stayed for one night arrived at 3.15 in room by 3.20 Lovely room bright and very clean Hadd s meal in the pub and it was excellent and the young woman whovwas running bar and serving meals was very friendly and helpful An excellebt stay and close to castle ccombe

Very clean and comfortable. Very nice food

Very nice rooms, friendly staff, Food very good

The whole place was clean, tidy and well thought through. All for the benefit of the visitors to the establishment. The staff were friendly, obligingly helpful. I felt I was the most important person there. A big well done to Amy and the team.

Lovely and very friendly food good people are realy friendly staff friendly could not ask for a better place to stay

Amazing food so compliments to the chef, would suggest opening slightly earlier for breakfast for those having to go into work

Very good service, clean and especially food. It is not very convinient for tourist without own car

Quaint Great food

So cosy and welcoming - staff all very friendly. Food excellent

Lovely room and well presented. Really nice stay and having the pub next door serving fantastic food was a great bonus.

Second time staying at Burton and this stay was equally as pleasant .. Accomodation was clean , tidy and well serviced on a daily basis by the staff ... Choice for breakfast was comprehensive and more than enough choice to start the day .. The staff , Libby , Mike and all else were courteous and friendly which all added to a comfortable 3 days .. Many thanks to them all ..

Everything was done well

Delicious dinner. Chicken and beef burger dishes were fab. Great service from a charming young man.

We stayed at the accommodation for two nights for a family wedding. On arrival staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was really nice with clean, fresh and modern bedding. The cushions and throw were very nice - Biba accessories. The only niggle was the floor was dusty (laminate)and walking around in bare feet made this noticable, especially when walking to the bed from the shower. Again, this is easily rectified and wouldn't put me off staying there. The bathroom was well equipped with handwash, handcream and shower/hair gel. Very nicely decorated. Fresh towels. The toilet and sink were spotless. There were only a few things of note that were disappointing - there was dark hairs around the tiles around the sink where someone before us had shaved. The bed was very confortable and supportive. We slept really well. There was very little noise. Breakfast was gorgeous. Staff attentive. Very clean in the pub. The atmosphre was really nice too. Accessibility - the rooms are up a flight of steps. I'm not aware there was an alternative, so you need to be mobile to stay in the accommodation. The pathway was well lit. Car parking - the car park is onsite. We didn't have any issues parking and the front car park was better lit than the back we were advised. All in all it was a great stay, and I would stay again. Thanks 🙂

Lovely quiet place to stay with free WiFi and parking. The food is excellent served in a friendly environment.

A very comfortable queen sized bed and as the rooms are away from the pub it was quiet. The room had a large en-suite but the fan and light came on automatically as you opened the bathroom door which disturbed me every time my husband went to the bathroom during the night! The lighting was adequate but 6 ceiling spots were missing overall. Sadly a disadvantage when my husband was trying to use the bathroom mirror to shave.

Great accommodation, food and service. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

It’s a lovely little place to stay and was close to where we needed to be. We wanted somewhere small due to Covid so less guest to mix with. (If we hadn’t need to travel we wouldn’t have gone) The room was clean and really nice staff where friendly. If we where just sleeping there I would have rated higher but we ate there and that’s where we felt a bit of a let down. We checked in at 4pm but couldn’t get any sort of food till 5:30pm then the menu was just not our cup of tea or the locals that were not thrilled to have us there. This would be a lovely place for couples looking for a short brake.

Rooms away from the pub up some steps that need repairing. The windows open in a way that would allow intruders to enter easily and there is no air con or fan available. Cleanliness in the room could have been better. Had evening meal in the pub which was nice although service was quite slow.

Lovely rooms but no lighting and loose stone slabs on outside stairs made access difficult. Had to send steak (over cooked) and hamburger (not cooked through) back to be cooked properly.

Great hotel, excellent location and just an enjoyable experience.. Unfortunately just traveling through on business, but would love to bring the family one day...

Dinner was excellent and so was breakfast. The pub was lovely and staff very friendly. Our only criticism is that the mattress on the bed was extremely worn and uncomfortable. We did however, really enjoy our two night stay.

Specious, very clean room. Nice breakfast in front of real chimney

Lovely setting in a very quaint old village. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. I would also go back and stay again

The staff are very friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere. Nice mix of locals and travelers. the room was lovely, completely as advertised so no "bad" surprises here. Comfy bed and VERY quiet. All in all a charming country inn.

Despite being horrendously delayed and arriving at 23.45 Instead of 1900 as notified, we were relieved to receive be a warm welcome and our rooms were waiting. After a great nights sleep, we tucked into a delicious veggi breakfast. helpful.

The friendliness of the staff. The well appointed rooms. Good food, great breakfast. Doesn't really cater for those who prefer 'continental' breakfast. Not clear from the website that the rooms are separate from the main building, up a flight of outdoor steps. Rear car park limited room - front car park narrow spaces.

We were attending our son’s best friend’s wedding at the Manor House Hotel down the road in Castle Comb, about 3 miles away, so The Old House Hotel was ideally placed for us getting there quite easily by cab (or so we thought). However, as there is no local cab firm we were being quoted silly money (£50) for a 10 minute ride. The bar staff at The Old House said that was ridiculous and they very kindly offered to run us to and from the wedding reception the following day. We couldn’t be more grateful for such a kindly act. The hotel is truly blessed to have such lovely, accommodating staff. We dined there the first night and had a delightful meal, and breakfast both days was cooked to perfection. The rooms look newly built in a new block adjacent to the pub and beer garden, and had a walk-in shower, tv, iron, ironing board and tea and coffee making facilities. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to recommend the hotel and fabulous staff. Thank you one and all.

This place was great from the moment I booked in, until I left. I stop in this area quite often, and this will now be my first choice. Booking in was easy, the pub was exactly what you would want from a country inn. Good beer, a good selection of wines, and the staff were very friendly. Food was not expensive, but clearly freshly produced. The room was in an outside block, new, clean and had everything you could want. I'll be back!

Challets need aircon or at least a good fan in the room. I had a bad night due to there being no ventilation. Right on a main road so traffic, however light, was another cause of broken sleep. Breakfast does not start until 0800. bit late for business customers in my opinion.

Delicious dinner . Superb quality and well prepared. Breakfast was made to order too.

Lovely location. Very friendly, helpful staff. Room always cleaned properly. Very peaceful. Fair choice for evening meals. Only downfall is there are a few outside steps you have to do to get to rooms. Can be slippery in wet, but ok.

Well appointed, clean and comfortable property. Part of a lovely old pub serving very good food.

The staff were very nice and helpful ,But the whole place needs decorating and a good deep clean .first impressions are the most important to me and the room had a very musty smell on entering that was there the whole time . The shower head needs descaling the water was luke warm on both mornings so not a good experience..The food was not good . Overall was very disappointed how it has a 5 star rating I really don’t know !!

Nice accommodation. Good for an overnight stay. Building has a charming character about it. Very welcoming owner. Food lovely and good choices.

Every time I stay here, it seems to get a little worse. I stayed in room one, the farthest from the pub, on this occasion. On entering the room, I was hit with an overpowering artificial scent. I thought airing the room might help but it didn't, the reason being I believe the room was being 'freshened' with a device on the ceiling. Know the smell of cotton Febreze air freshener? It smelt - and tasted, yes tasted, pervasive as it was - just like that. Now imagine it going all through the night. How could anyone think that's a good idea? The mattress was horribly lumpy, and tall people would have a real issue with the length of the bed since the footboard (not sure of the correct word but opposite to the headboard) will get in the way. They've also changed internet provider. You now have to agree to some seriously invasive conditions to get online where you agree to allow them to inspect whatever you're up to, and to share that with the hotel. That's pretty appalling. Still no coffee in the room but there were teabags, as usual. Why not provide a couple of sachets of coffee? Finally, there were cobwebs around the room, and the decorative throw at the foot of the bed was covered in stains. As to what they were... well, an average CSI would have had quite the field day, I am sure. Avoid. (I'll finally take my own advice and take my custom elsewhere next time I'm in the area.)

all good except the TV didnt work quite as it should but we let them know at the end of the stay - it wasn't a big issue.

Toilets were out of order so had to go to our room to go . This was led outside into the garden via very steep steps and not very good handrails being 72 and very frosty was very slippery and rooms were like chalets and not very well lit outside walking to them . Breakfast was ok but coffee was awful he said it's because of the water? Tasted like salt but no apology! Had to ask for butter for out toast no marmalade or jam ion the table I think expensive for what we had I expected a better service it was my birthday a special treat for me and my friend

I hung around for a while when I arrived before anyone appeared. Apart from that, all was great

great

Not a bad place to stay. A couple of niggles. TV remote buttons half not working and poor selection of channels. Shower a bit confusing to operate and stiff contols. Overall ok.

We loved our stay here. It wasn't quite what we had imagined from the photos--most of the rooms are in a separate row just up from the main house--but the room itself was adequate and clean. The location is a strong point--we loved walking up to the local church and down to Castle Comb (a little longer hike which requires some good directions from kind locals). The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the service and atmosphere were both warm and welcoming.

We booked this place after seeing 5 star reviews. Our experience wasn’t close to 5 stars at all. The bed in the room was very uncomfortable. The shower is decent! The people not that friendly. The dishes were dirty during our breakfast. Not a good experience at all!

Average country pub. Food average, room average but they tried hard

Wonderful place to get away. Food is amazing especially duck , highly recommended.. nice area , lovely staff , great atmosphere to get a piece of mind and relax ..

No coffee machine any more, minimal choice of hot drinks in the room, cheap biscuits, orange squash at breakfast instead of juice, no smoked salmon at breakfast. This is a lovely hotel, but my last few visits I have noticed more and more cost cutting going on, but the rooms remain the same price.... shame

Really enjoyed our stay. Great atmosphere in the bar and restaurant. Friendly staff.

This was for a stopover on the way home from holiday. Our satnav sent us to a place 4 miles away for the correct postcode so not a good start and looked forward to a meal in the restaurant. We were not disappointed, it was excellent. The room was clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and a very good breakfast the following morning. The accommodation was very good value and would certainly stay again if in the area.

Overall this is an excellent place to go and stay (the only gripe we had was there were no face cloths, or bath mats in the shower, a bit of a must if you are unsteady on your feet and the floor is tiled and wet) other than that, had a great time, the food is delicious, staff friendly and helpful, we recommend you consider this place if you are in the area. Not that expensive either for what it offers.

We loved this place. The rooms are fantastic. The breakfasts and dinners are great. We were so glad we found this. There were a few glitches in service, but overall I would stay there again.

I have stayed at a lot of different places but have never felt compelled to write a bad review until now. Who has the time??? I hope this helps future visitors make a decision. We arrived at 7.20pm, decided to eat dinner at the pub as we were told they had kept a table for us. Sat down and had to wait for any form of service, although staff were friendly they seemed disinterested in getting eye contact or taking our order. So unsure of the correct protocol I approached the bar, I was told someone would be along soon. In the end although we had drink, an hour and 10mins later we were still waiting to place an order!!! In the end I asked if we could have some pizza delivered to our room from the menu. To which I was told it would still be a further 30mins wait. I understand sometimes there are delays but this information should have been given to us at the time we asked for a table not just an apology after. Sadly my wife and I agreed the pizza was also the worst pizza we have ever eaten. I think the root of the problem must be kitchen troubles but I have absolutely no idea how this can be awarded a 5 star rating! I realise I havn’t yet mentioned the room and this is simply because it was acceptable, but again could not be described as meeting a 5 star rating. I’m sorry I don’t have better things to say but truthfully I would advise avoiding this place.

Enjoyed two nights at the OHH and would recommend it. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely room in an extension to the side of the old inn. Great breakfast and dinner. Road outside quite noisy during the day but it was quiet at night.

Excellent stay. It's a wonderful mixture of new and old with your typical 'old world English country pub' with beams, fire and small alcoves and a modern bedroom which is stylishly set out and extremely clean. Highly recommend this to everyone. It's situated in a small village in the middle of beautiful countryside. Staff are pleasant and accommodating.

A really lovely place to stay. The staff were very helpful and they organised an early breakfast for me.

Lovely hotel/pub, great food, lovely staff, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended! Local area good, not too far from interesting places, and Castle Combe circuit.

The rooms are modern and a bit spartan but have all the necessary items, such as a desk and armoire. There is a little noise from the road at rush hour even though the hotel is situated on a small rural road, but it is quiet at night. Huge bathroom. The real reasons to book here are the wonderful staff and delicious food at the associated pub of the same name. Easily the best food we have had in England. We used the Old House at Home as a base for exploring Bath and the Avebury standing stones.

2nd visit, almost as good as the first (I believe there were homemade/artisan cookies before). Unbelievably comfortable bed and pillows, missed breakfast just so I could stay in bed longer. Lovely pub, lovely rooms, great shower but the beds are fabulous!

Lovely village pub. Arrived late evening, very pleasant greeting. Comfortable and quiet room. Excellent evening meal and a good breakfast. Will return here again

We had a wonderful stay, only complaint was our room was just painted and it had a strong smell of paint

We had a lovely welcome when we arrived. The food was fab too.

Looked for a quiet off the main roads, and couldn't have been happier. All the staff were cry friendly, and welcoming. The room was very smart and clean, and the en-suite was great. The food in the pub was first class.

The room was very clean with a large, comfortable bed. The meal we had in the pub that evening was delicious as was breakfast the following morning. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will be using this hotel again later in the year.

Hotel is nicely decorated in variety of styles. Bathrooms are upgraded. Pub is charming and vegetarian breakfast was delicious! We arrived late and staff were very kind and understanding. Not in Castle Combe and not really walkable, but only a short drive 3-5 min.

This is a really lovely place to stay. The rooms are comfy, the staff are very helpful and friendly, and the food is good. I will be staying again the next to time work takes me to this area.
