Find the Cheap Ebrington Hotels

Good environment

This was a return visit for us and our friends. Our friends had actually stayed here on Honeymoon 51 years ago, we’d been here 12 years ago. The overall experience was generally positive; the accommodation was comfortable although the Syrup Sponge Room was described as a half themed room which seemed peculiar. Our room, The Chocolate Pudding Room was fine except for an oddly shaped cushion. We ate in the restaurant which was very good apart from the Crab Ravioli with Bisque; there was wet Spinach in the Pasta and the Crab was completely overpowered by a bitter tasting Bisque. The Picpoul wine was excellent. Service was good. Breakfast was fine. There was a couple of niggles. Firstly the lack of a Real Ale at a Country Pub/Hotel and secondly, when I called to book our evening meal they could not find our room booking. I had to call back to give the details of our booking and payment.

1. The location of the hotel is very good. In the center of Chipping Campden, there is a public parking lot next to it, and parking is very convenient. But be sure to pay attention to the address when navigating. There is another hotel in the same area with the same name in front of it. 2. On the day I arrived, the hotel temporarily informed me that there was something wrong with my room, so I was transferred to another higher-level hotel in the suburbs. The environment and facilities were indeed better.

We were attending a wedding nearby so booked a night's stay here. The receptionist was welcoming and friendly. Our room was very nice with a big bathroom. It was rather warm in the room but there was a fan which helped. We returned from the wedding with a couple of friends just in time for last orders. We were told we would need to sit in the lounge area as the bar was closing, which was fine as it was a nice place to sit and chat with a bottle of wine. We slept reasonably well, the bed was very comfortable with a nice firm mattress (it is only a double and we're used to a Super King at home, but it was fine). Breakfast was good, although one of the ladies serving guests was a little brusque. There was a good choice of cereals and pastries and the cooked breakfast was very nice. Being an old building, the floors are very creaky. Overall we had a very pleasant stay at the Noel Arms.

Every person I interacted with at the Volunteer Inn was really friendly - from the young woman behind the bar who greeted me and checked me in, to the chaps in the Indian restaurant (no cooking smells in the bedrooms, as restaurant quite separate, just in case you're worried abou that!), to the lady who cooked my delicious breakfast in the morning. The breakfast was really good - real coffee, wonderfully fresh eggs and great sausages and bacon. Lots of choice for vegetarians and those just wanting cereal too. I hadn't stayed in a b&b with a shared bathroom for years, so had been a bit worried about that aspect, but it was totally fine, as the bathroom was accessed by a key and it was only shared with one other room. I felt safe and comfortable, so that was not an issue. Although I'm originally from Cheltenham, I had not been to Chipping Campden for decades - WOW! It's one of the most unspoiled Costwold towns I've seen, with the most thatched houses in one place I think I've ever seen! The villagers I spoke with were so very helpful and friendly (was on a quest for new tights for my evening biz meeting!) Looks like the town is directly on the Cotswold Way too, so I shall return with my daughter and have a good old yomp! Recommend very highly - the bedroom was simple, but clean and very comfy (the only reason I marked down to a 4 on cleanliness was because my little waste bin had not been emptied from the previous stay....feel a bit mean doing that but, well, it is important...) I can't wait to go back!

Our second visit (see my more detailed revue September 2021). Delighted to have a good excuse to return. This time we brought friends, put them in the fabulous Village Room while we had Old Beam. Both rooms are at the front of the pub, looking out on a little village green and pretty cottages across the road. Almost no traffic. The Village Room has a sofa, armchair and a large bathroom with tub and shower over (as per my previous review), also plenty of natural light. Old Beam is a bit darker, has two armchairs instead of a sofa, and a shower, no tub. If I could choose I would prefer the Village Room. Nonetheless Old Beam is full of character and perfectly comfortable, and we were sad to have only two nights. Great value for money. The beautiful beer garden is still there and the food as good as ever. Fabulous breakfasts and gorgeous meals in the evening. Lovely decor, great service. Both the restaurant and bar get busy in the evening. Plenty of parking. Excellent location for visiting NT Hidcote (lovely gardens) and other North Cotswold attractions, and about 20 minutes to Stratford-upon-Avon.

A Lovely hotel with some beautiful traditional British features. Very polite and efficient staff. The rooms and facilities were clean and comfy but could use just a touch of flair and a few fancy extras. Overall a lovely stay though. Delicious fresh food and an amazing curry night. VERY good value for money with a great selection of traditional Sri Lankan dishes. Highly recommended. A good selection of bar drinks in a cozy traditional pub setting. Library/ lounge for relaxing. Outside terrace lovely in the sun and comfy and peaceful restaurant for meals and breakfast.
