The Farmers Boy Inn

Simply put, we love what we do. "Hospitality" . Not just for what it is, but for the experience that accompanies it. Strangers gathering and leaving as Friends. Giving you a Holiday feeling. Making you smile. Homely surroundings, great company and conversation, attentive waiters, who become friends and of course fine wines from around the world. After a evening of gastro food delights, award-winning gourmet pies, laughter and the occasion sing song and music Infront of the open fire retire to our courtyard of individually simple designed rooms and drift off, to wake up to the sounds, sights and smells of the idyllic Gloucestershire countryside. Followed of course by a hearty breakfast and maybe a stroll up the majestic May Hill. Its what we do best.

Mixed opinions about the Farmers Boy

Reviewed By gemini096

When I booked two nights at the Farmers Boy, (we were en route to Devon), I particularly mentioned that my husband, my daughter and I had disabilities and said that we needed help with our luggage. I really stressed this and that we would have three large suitcases which would be fairly heavy because we were staying in Devon and elsewhere for 2.1/2 weeks. I was told that this would be absolutely no problem. When we checked in I asked for the help with the luggage, I repeated that there were several suitcases and they would be heavy. The General Manager came to help us. He was polite and very helpful however, when he saw the luggage he grabbed three of the largest bags and took them to the little compound of rooms. He was obviously struggling and I couldn't understand the, "iron man", display of carrying three large heavy suitcases at once. He indicated that he was returning to the bar because, he snapped, "I have other things to do". I was quite upset and said that we couldn't carry the luggage because of our disabilities however he disappeared into the pub. Later when we went to have our evening meal, I jokingly said that I was sorry that we had been such trouble to him. This seemed to do the trick and he was very different after that. He was very friendly and polite, it was such a shame that he had let himself down by being so rude to us over the luggage. The rooms: We had two rooms, a double for my husband and a twin for my daughter and myself. The room appeared clean at first glance however when we actually used the bathroom, the area around the toilet needed a good clean. There was a hospitality tray with ample tea, coffee etc. The television needed replacing. It was difficult to use and somehow, ran an hour behind. The duvet and the single beds were very small and thin, we were cold on both nights. My husbands room was all right and his TV worked well. We had porridge pots in the room for breakfast as we always do in hotels, etc., because we can't manage a full cooked breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful paticularly one lady called Suzy. However, when we were talking to Suzy, (not for very long), a lady who appeared to have some kind of authority made some off hand remarks saying we call her "Suzy, Suzy" the words seem OK however the attitude came across as, I'm in charge - get on with your work". Oh dear - she needs to realise that putting customers at ease is a big part of hospitality work and Suzy was very good at her job. The food was excellent but such large portions. We have limited mobility and the pub is very old with higgledy piggledy steep two or three stairs in various places. There could have been information about this in the rooms. When we managed to get to the beer garden, (quite a struggle for someone with limited mobility), we realised that we could have walked across the front of the pub to a gate to get into the beer garden. All in all, with some improvements in attitude and updates to bedding, cleaning and facilities such as TV, (agreed that we don't go away to watch TV but we like to keep up to date with news). we would stay again. I feel awkward at writing this review as it wouldn't take much to improve the accommodation but I have thought long and hard and decided that if I didn't include the problems then how could the management know of them. However, there was generally a very good atmosphere in the pub.

Yew Tree Inn

Family meal

Reviewed By Kmtaoreed

Tonight we visited the yew tree for a family meal to celebrate a 60th. There was 15 of us and as expected nothing ever runs smooth when u r in a big group but tonight I was shocked at the rudeness towards us as customers.. firstly a starter was missing from our party but that turned out to be the fault of us as it was missed off our list but we only found that out by the rude owner/chef whatever she was coming out and reading the list out to us.. this wasn’t a problem as we shared the starters we did have and enjoyed them. Then came the mains.... before any mains were brought out the waitress came out and asked how the steaks would like to be cooked. They gave there preference and off she went. Then when the well done steak came out but was not cooked as requested and pointed out the lovely waitress took the steak back And then our group was approached Again by this same chef/owner to get THE LIST back out and state there wasn’t a well done steak on the list but she will take it back this time..... we were asked only half hour ago how We wanted our steaks so it obviously wouldn’t be on THE LIST. I personally enjoyed my food and would have Came back again to enjoy it but she has put me off ever visiting this pub every again with her lack of customer service. I understand it was a busy night but Maybe take some time to learn people skills and not approach people in such an angry aggressive manor..

Take our way marked track to May Hill where you have fantastic views over 6 counties on a clear day.

Delicious Aga cooked breakfasts, all with local produce including our own home reared Gloucester old spot sausages & bacon & our own free-range eggs are served in our spacious dining room. All bedrooms, one with a fourposter bed and one with a 6' bed, are ensuite and large with lovely rural views with free wifi & freeview flat screen TVs & hospitality trays. Chill out in our comfortable guests lounge with log fire & 50" Freeview TV and tea & homemade cake on arrival.

Super location and people but freezing and bed hard.

Stayed for a night early December, the owners were very welcoming at this B and B (not hotel) I was shown to my room and was advised that the room was cold and there was a spare blanket and hot waterbottle, if needed. When the central heating was powered off around midnight, I got around 3 hrs sleep as my watch was saying it was 14c I tried the extra blanket but as it was the middle of the night I went with it. The bed was very hard also. The owners were very pleasant however and the breakfast was very good, I would suggest that It would be a great place to stay if it was summertime. If it wasnt for the bed/quality of sleep i would have rated a 5. But the reason of my stay was mainly a place to sleep. I voiced my concerns the next morning, the room rate remained the same.

We stayed for one night on our way south, we had a triple family room and had brought along our small dog. The room was lovely, cosy, clean and we felt safe from covid infection as it had all been sanitised. Staff were very welcoming, food was freshly cooked, small menu but that was because of the covid reductions in staff etc. Highly recommend a stay here
