Things to do in Gloucestershire
1. The Farmers Boy Inn
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1234 reviews
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 gemini096When 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.

Nice atmosphere. Really friendly, polite and efficient staff. Good selection of large and small meals. We both chose toasted sandwiches which were served with fries…..food was excellent, hot, fresh and so tasty. Coffee was excellent too. Good choice of soft drinks. Thank you.

Come for the Atmosphere Stay talking to the Staff
Reviewed By RoamingJay_UKIf you want the quintessential English Inn stay then look no further, this is it. A spacious room with an immaculate bathroom with a roomy walk in shower. With room for a sofa and a desk this bedroom would elsewhere be considered a suite. Only thing missing was a coffee table. The Inn is obviously a building that has been knocked through, expanded on and otherwise modified, so nothing looks straight or level which adds so much character. The staff themselves add even more, friendly and chatty we could have talked with them all night if our tiredness hadn't gotten the better of us. Dinner was excellent... the only fault I could make was that the steak was dry aged when it mentioned nothing of the sort on the menu... now that is really not a problem... at least not for me, but I told the staff they should advertise the fact that it's locally sourced meat and dry aged as that's a real selling point.

Still serving great real ale after all these years.
Reviewed By Mobile46339050997Every time I come here I wonder why I don’t come more often. The ale here is just so brilliant with a great choice of different local beers. Well kept and served by good, local staff. The atmosphere is always good, open beams and a good rural feel to the whole pub. Haven’t eaten here for a while but those I know who have always seem happy. Along with the Fox this is my favourite Bredon Hill pub, though this is more of drinkers pub and excels at that.

A flawless authentic B&B experience
Reviewed By Jes CWe arrived late to find the key to our room along with a kind welcoming message from Lady of the Manor, Laura, waiting for us. This B&B is real in every sense of the word. It is part of an actively run farm, it is run by a nice, young, helpful and hospitable couple, it is set in an old manorlike building on the top of a Hill with a great view over the Valley and it offers a delicious full English breakfast in a bright recently added room with Nothing missing. We really enjoyed our stay in a comfortable, bright and practically designed room with a view. No restaurant but recommendations to nearby places to eat so we went the 4 km to Wick and thoroughly enjoyed a tasty pub dinner at the Rose & Crown.
