Guest Reviews
- Rejean (10/5): - It could not be better Beautiful place to stay and eat
- IAN (10/5): - Everything about Frogmill was absolutely perfect from the pet friendly accommodation to the excellent food. Great choice for our over night stop on our way home from our holiday
- donna (10/5): - Fantastic
- Darren (8/5): - Cigarette ends outside and not cleaned. No iron in room and asked several times for one, to no avail. Chosen main course was very nice, pudding not so.
- Brian (10/5): - Staff were fantastic! They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Rooms were clean and well-appointed.
- Becca (4/5): - Lovely hotel and restaurant but the walls were paper thin so had a very bad experience trying to sleep. The room was also pretty small so felt like the value was a bit off. Could hear conversations clearly and cleaning team and front desk were especially loud early both days. Lovely people though, and if you were just going to eat it’s a great spot.
- Lee (10/5): - A lovely hotel situated in a good location for exploring the Cotswolds. Superior room was excellent. A nice size with a double shower and bath. Bed was comfy. Hotel restaurant had a good choice and food was of a very good standard. Breakfast particularly set us up well for the day. Hotel staff were also welcoming and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
- Noreen (4/5): Not worth the money - Overpriced breakfast. Overpriced drinks Staff not that helpful Room dark Nice ambience and first impression. Poor overall and not worth money
- Michael (10/5): - Lovely 2 night stay. Great staff. I would stay here again.
- Jack (10/5): - Lovely stay whilst I was working in Cheltenham. Rooms and food are great.
- Stephen (10/5): - Fantastic experience great service 👍
- Robert (10/5): - Quirky, historic, characterful hotel, staff both pleasant & courteous. Spiral staircase with roped handrail to "signature room" might be challenging for some, but worth the effort.
- Debra (8/5): Beautiful for couples not for children - Beautiful property for couples or singles. Would not recommend for children. Charged 7.5 pounds for each 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year olds for breakfast. Location is good, food was good. Our room on the top floor might be a bit hot in warm weather. Opening window let in mosquitos.
- tarquin (8/5): - Excellent value for money with high level of service
- Jennifer (8/5): - Lovely looking property. Enjoyed our stay but expensive considering the facilities could have been cleaner, e.g. the shower
- Angela (8/5): - Great food!
- Sharon (10/5): - Reception were so friendly and helpful.
- Jack (10/5): - Fantastic stay highly recommended
- Irek (10/5): - Great place
- Robert (10/5): Perfect place to stay! - We have previously stayed at the Frogmill and did not hesitate to rebook and will definitely return next year. The staff are wonderful, the food delicious and the setting is perfect.
- Therese (8/5): - Beautiful room. Very comfy bed and luxurious bath. Only downside was that the room was very warm- even with a window open and you can hear walking around from upstairs
- paul (2/5): - Did not have the room we booked tried to fob us off with a different room twice . Did not stay I. The end
- David (10/5): Warm, cozy and great food - Great food, warm, cozy and clean accommodation. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay
- Laura (10/5): - Such a lovely stay, gorgeous room! Definitely would stay again! Food is also really good!
- Max and John (10/5): - We love to stay here when we go to Cheltenham … it’s a very convenient spot to stay
- Jane (10/5): - Fabulous Inn. Great rooms and great shower! Close to all the best sites. Highly recommend
- Judith (10/5): Overnight stay - A delightful place to stay and eat. Room was very clean and bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in. Enjoyed dinner for two in the attached restaurant. Really good choice of food. Service excellent. All the team working here were friendly and very welcoming. We will definitely return.
- Andrew (10/5): - Stayed for one night and hotel and staff were excellent! Loved our room (outhouse) and would definitely stay again 5 x ⭐️
- gary (10/5): - Very nice location and staff. Only down side was the evening meal was terrible
- Rob (10/5): - Perfect.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Close to Cheltenham and lovely surroundings. Nice touches like freshly baked cookies for the room. Breakfast was a bit of a let down but dinner was very good
- Josh (10/5): - Beautiful inn with amazing food! 100/10; best place on our trip!
- Mrs Kristin (10/5): - Perfect
- Jonathon (10/5): - Lovely property, good food and great value
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lovely hotel. Very friendly staff. Room very nice. Bed extremely comfortable. Food in restaurant very nice.
- Ross (10/5): - Amazing location and beautiful property. The food at the restaurant was delicious. Elliot, the bar keep, provided great service and local travel suggestions. I would certainly return, hidden gem!
- Donald and Diana (8/5): - Lovely atmosphere , lovely room but very soft bed and would have liked a small fridge in our room
- Phillip (6/5): - We had room 5 and it was absolutely roasting. Be prepared to sweat a lot in the sun. We had a fire alarm at 2.15am and nobody had any idea who was in charge and what was happening, very poor from the site. The best thing about the venue was the food, it was incredible and well worth it. The venue is beautiful if you are tall be careful of the low beams. Few head bangs were had.
- Craig (10/5): - We had a great stay at the Frogmill while exploring the Cotswolds region. Comfortable, large room, great food, and wonderful people. Thank you so much! Oh, and the cookies each night was always a perfect ending to each day!
- Maciej (10/5): - Amazing place and staff, Thank You
- Janelle (10/5): - Can't wait to return! Beautiful, clean and charming property, delicious quality food, great customer service, convenient location to explore the Cotswold!
- Michelle (10/5): - This hotel was so unique. The room was so quaint and comfortable! The only issue we had was there was not any air conditioning.
- Margie (10/5): - A delightful, well equipped and maintained property in a lovely area.
- Martin (10/5): - Great restaurant. Friendly staff. Comfortable room and an amazing location.
- Gemma (10/5): - Fab stay! The room was lovely the staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was yummy. I honestly can’t find any fault. Highly recommend ❤️
- Josh (10/5): Amazing stay with great food! - Amazing stay! The hotel is fantastic in the countryside with a great walk around with great views. The room was modern and decorated beautifully to match the building architecture. The pub has a great vibe and the restaurant food was delicious (just note no dogs in the main restaurant) and service is great. Our room was quite warm which meant not getting 100% and as it’s a pub it can be noisy in the evenings/night.
- Gordon (10/5): Lovely - Beautiful hotel. Delicious food. Cosy fires. Will definitely be back
- Ian (8/5): - Likes Good location, lovely room, plenty of space, quirky. Dog friendly, although limited to the bar area re dining and breakfast Eat in the bar 1st night food very good, good menu choices. Some good walks from the hotel that are circular, range from 5km upwards Dislikes Busy wedding venue, we were there 3 nights and 2 weddings were on over 2 days, so it did feel like the restaurant area got a higher priority at breakfast re service levels, as often in the bar area (because of dog) it did take a while re service. Buffet elements needed filling up a bit more frequently as well. Breakfast menu had a good choice, good ingredients, well presented and quantity wise all good, the thing that let it down was 'warmth' of the food i.e. a bit luke warm, plates weren't hot, even though cooked fresh, as if it had stood for a while post being served. Also certain younger members of staff need to learn a little more around customer service in general, and at least find a smile!
- JUDITH AND CLYNTON (10/5): - Beautiful setting , delicious food fab location
- John (10/5): - Lovely rooms but just one thing … disappointed that no drinks were available after 10:45pm because the bar closes at 11pm even though we were residents!
- Aaron (10/5): - Great place, definitely would love to come back
- Rhian (10/5): - Lovely stay everything really lovely . Food, service and comfort all excellent. Will be back !
- Ash (10/5): Excellent - I stay in 150 hotel rooms a year and this was by far the best for under £150.
- Cheryl (2/5): - Perhaps this is a nice hotel, but I can't attest to their quality. However, I can review their lack of communication. After paying up front, when my itinerary changed due to circumstances beyond my control, they wouldn't communicate with me...no replies to email enquiries. To be fair, I did receive a phone call from a staff member to say they didn't receive my emails, and it would be forwarded to the manger, but I never heard from them again. So, a cautionary tale that you will need to pay up front at this establishment and you will not hear from them again if, in this world of uncertainty, your plans do happen to change. Besides, there are so many other lovely hotels in the area to choose from that will exhibit more hospitality than this establishment.
- Melody (10/5): - The grounds are absolutely beautiful! Good location for heading out to explore the Cotswolds area. The restaurant was exceptional, especially breakfast. The room wasn’t perfectly clean, dust on things, but it was big and updated which was nice! Overall, would recommend and return there myself if traveling took me to the area again!
- Ronan (10/5): - Could not recommend it more. Picturesque hotel, great scenery, short drive from loads of villages and things to do - food is amazing, the best roast I’ve ever had. Staff super friendly and accommodating.
- Natalie (10/5): - Great base for the weekend. Staff very friendly and helpful.
- Sean (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay and meal here at The Frogmill, we will definitely be back!
- James (10/5): - Gorgeous extremely old example of Cotswold architecture. Dining and bar were very good but still less that 5 star and but better than traditional English pub food which is rough.
- Lauren (10/5): - Beautiful views, helpful staff
- Edward (8/5): - Unique appearance and appealing atmosphere
- Graham (10/5): A very very pleasant stay - We had room 15 up in the attic which was beautifully decorated in soft green. Like the rest of the hotel, the room was full of character with original oak beams and floorboards.We had a wonderful cast iron roll top bath in the main room, a huge bed with the best quality bedding, a small area to hang clothes and some shelving/ drawers which was fine for a short break. There was also a separate shower room with a huge shower, and the most luxurious white towels we’ve ever had in a hotel, and lots of bottles of toiletries for guests use. There were tea/coffee making facilities with a very good choice of teas, and a Nespresso machine with a variety of pods which we thought was an excellent touch. The downsides to this room was that it was up 2 flights of quite steep stairs, and it was rather hot, although to be fair we stayed there during the recent heatwave, but we drew the thick heavy blind during the day to help keep heat out, and we could’ve asked for a fan. We had 3 very good breakfasts and two very good meals in the restaurant, and the outside area is really very very nice to sit in and have a drink. There is a working water mill in the grounds, and everywhere is kept very neat and tidy…in fact the hotel and grounds are also a wedding venue, unsurprisingly. All the staff are very helpful and lovely.
- matthew (10/5): Great stay - A very nice location and hotel 🏨
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Very rude lady at the reception upon check in, room was not clean, at night when we were sat outside - it was pitch dark not even one light was switched on. Very disappointing!
- Andy (10/5): - Very pleasant stay with a nice dinner and a very comfy bed
- cameron (10/5): - Stayed in a very unusual room #8. Fun!
- Glen (10/5): - Beautiful home base for sightseeing. Loved coming “home” each evening to friendly staff and great meal. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
- Guy (6/5): Nice room, seems money grabbing. - Nice and spacious king sized room. Pet friendly but at an additional charge! I'd missed the small print way down the hotels.com page and email saying an additional £20 to have a dog. However when we turned up they said it's now £25. Not sure if that was correct or if they were just trying it on.
- Colette (10/5): - Really nice building, oldy worldly but cosy at the same time. Very nice...
- Ken (10/5): - Lovely hotel, very comfortable with a nice bar and restaurant onsite
- Doreen (10/5): - Myself and two close friends reunited here after Covid and other issues and we had a fabulous time. The team that work there are wonderful, kind and caring. The food is delicious in the pub and restaurant and I highly recommend you try it. It was very relaxing and fun.
- Andrew (6/5): - Loved the hotel and location. Service was poor but that was probably due to the xmas party season. Food was below average and disappointing.
- Mark (10/5): - Beautiful property, the room was amazing, very cozy. It is like something out of a storybook. The food was also outstanding. Overall 10 out of 10.
- Tim (8/5): Cotswolds Super Location - Our room was in a seperate annexe which was fine but was not aware of upon booking , The positive was a lovely large room and bathroom . The bathroom needed the grout and silicone replacing at low level due to mould staining . However this is very small problem the showed was huge and lovely hot water which is the important bit . The main hotel building was very comfortable and the restaurant food was to a very good standard . All the staff were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend it to anyone and would stay again . Great location within easy reach of the Cotswolds pretty must see villages such as Stow and Burford etc
- Martin (10/5): - We love The Frogmill!! we've stayed many times and got married here. always friendly and helpful staff, amazing rooms and great food!
- Mike (8/5): - Room comfy , food good , the pathway to the room from the hotel at night was very poorly lit and the steps around the property were quite challenging in the dark , I feel someone could get hurt for the sake of an outside light at the doorway .
- Chris (10/5): - Great stay, lovely staff..
- Christopher (10/5): - Very well-kept, beautiful property. And the staff was friendly and helpful.
- Danny (10/5): - Great
- Wynn (10/5): - Nice quality country pub, definitely would stay again
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Loved it
- Joanne (10/5): Absolutely lovely place - Had a lovely stay , from the first phone call Cathy helped us and advised us of room availability. The morning staff at breakfast were also very helpful, polite and attentive. Our room was spotless and the nice touch of honeycomb and teas/waters was very welcomed. Would love to come back
- Simon (10/5): Serene - Great location for access to nearby towns. Fantastic isolated location and set up.
- Susan (10/5): - The Frogmill was a delight to stay at - we really enjoyed our stay and found our room comfortable . Dining either outside or inside was very enjoyable - food was delicious and the staff were very nice - esp. Sam and Rebecca ! I recommend staying at Frogmill and would not hesitate to book it again !
- Nick (10/5): - Lovely spacious room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Good bedding. Great menu and very dog friendly .
- Joe (10/5): Great place - highly recommend - Amazing stay, great food and service!!
- Julie (10/5): - Beautiful place, wonderful bed & bathroom, great food & service in convenient location. Definitely recommend.
- Edward (10/5): - .
- Ivette (10/5): - We loved the cute cozy room with two twin beds. The restaurant food was also excellent and service was prompt and friendly. We would highly recommend this inn and restaurant.
- Ilona (10/5): - We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Also, the restaurant had a great choice and quality food. The ambience was excellent. I highly recommend the hotel for a weekend break.
- Ian (6/5): Could do better. - The appearance was excellent along with the decor and cleanliness. The food was good The bedroom was hot and at the top of two flights of narrow twisting stairs which were not easy for two persons in their late seventies with luggage. There was no lift and no offer of help. There was a constant mechanical hum in the room. When we mentioned this in the morning we were told no-one else had complained. At breakfast we entered the restaurant to be told to wait outside and we should have read the notice pinned to the wall. The attitude of the staff generally was mechanical and gave us the impression that they were “doing us a favour.”
- stephen (10/5): One night stop - Check in procedure was very easy and the staff were very helpful We did not eat in the restaurant but the food that we could see looks very good will definitely stay there again
- Michael (10/5): - Very rustic yet comfortable with modern amenities and clean rooms in a beautiful country setting
- Kyriacos (10/5): - Great food and very nice amenities
- Andy (10/5): - Great service by the bar team.
- Katerina (8/5): Beautiful hotel but... - Beautiful hotel and surroundings, however, needs to improve general maintenance and cleanliness. Bed headboard had a lot of dust that seemed to be sitting there for months. The walls where scratched and dirty on certain parts, that is rather easy to maintain in good condition. Also, hair and nails on bathroom floor. The front porch was very dirty. It seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for days and door mat in a bad condition. Tea and coffee making facilities where a plus however, there was not any refrigerator. A refrigerator would be perfect, as there are no stores on a walking distance. Families with babies and young children that need to keep their food chilled would appreciate it. Members of staff were very friendly and polite and food was delicious. Overall a very pleasant stay.
- Jason (10/5): - Another great stay. Beautiful location and first time staying in cottages which were lovely and spacious and of cause dog friendly. Only comment to consider is dog is only allowed to join guests in bar area for dinner would be nice if allowed to join in the wonderful looking restaurant so can make use of all facilities,
- Sally (10/5): - The staff were excellent, meals exceptional, great accommodation.
- Robin (10/5): - Just a great atmosphere
- Stefan (4/5): Hugely overpriced and poor service - Room was fine but vastly overpriced compared to other hotels we have stayed at for much less (e.g. pig hotel chain). Our room also wasn’t cleaned during the day after our first night so we arrived back at the room late on the second evening post a wedding at the venue to no clean towels or bottled water and no staff around to help
