Find the Cheap Upper Rissington Hotels

This weekend we had lunch with a large group of friends at the New Old Inn. On being sat for the meal no one asked us if we wanted drinks - not then or at any time during our meal. Water was provided. During the meal we weren't asked, as is customary, if everything was OK with our food or if there was anything else we needed. Most odd. In fact, those waiting on us, especially the 2 gentlemen, seemed unhappy to be there and were, when passing behind diners chairs or reaching across the table, quite unmannerly and also particularly noisy, banging crockery on the table at the rear of the dining room. Onto the meal - 2 pieces of bread cut in half (for 4 people) on a plate but no side plates and no butter knives so we used our starter knives and ate bread from the tablecloth. The prawn cocktail starter was ordinary but passable. I was really looking forward to the main course - the menu read, 'Gloucester Old Spot Pork, Crispy Crackling, Bramley Apple Puree, served with Roast Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables' - sounds good! In reality I had 2 slices of pork, both with generous layers of fat and wet, floppy skin. Not the crispy crackling advertised. I politely asked the waitress if she could bring some crackling. She returned to tell me that they didn't have any crackling and that the pork was all gone. Apple sauce came but no serving spoon so we used our main course knives. The roasties (plural) consisted of 2 small potatoes. Descriptively correct, though a little mean, but overshadowed by the 'seasonal vegetables' which consisted of a slice of carrot and one broccoli spear. Again, not a lie as it was more than one vegetable, but they couldn't have economised more, except by serving individual peas! I know portion sizes have shrunk in our current economy but this is taking it to a new level. The desert was apple crumble which would have felt at home in any school canteen. And the price of this gourmet fayre? £56 for 2 people. Please find an alternative if you are contemplating booking, especially if it's for an occasion. We couldn't recommend this hotel and will never return, which is a shame as we regularly visit family living just 20 minutes away and are always looking for great eateries, We won't forget it, though, so we've put it in the 'making memories' pile.

The address is still very easy to find, that is, you have to carry your luggage upstairs, the scenery outside the window is very beautiful, the next day's breakfast is checked in advance and put it at the door ～ The bathroom is very large and bright, the door of the room is a bit old ～ There is a parking space near the door, free parking from 18:00 to 8:00 the next day, except for this time period, there is a free parking for 1.5 hours every day, and there is a cute candy store around.

Where else could we stay to celebrate our 7th anniversary then to visit Bourton-on-the-water as a family of 4. Both my girls 2 & 4 really enjoyed our stay. Just as I booked to stay here I read the small print and it stated that only kids 8+ were welcome, I called them up and after they spoke to the owner they were more than happy to let us keep our booking for two nights and because we booked directly we also had the option for a 2pm check in and free complimentary scones which were absolutely delicious! Clifton welcomed us with a smile, showed us to our room which was very comfortable with a king size bed and a sofa bed. The tv with freeview was 50/50 with loading channels but we didn’t need to watch much and mostly explored which brings me on to location, the entrance is around the back in the car park but it’s only a minutes walk if that to the Main Street in which you can enjoy views of the river and go for a stroll across the bridges. Overall we will 100% visit again in the future, it was our anniversary and after leaving a card in our room with chocolates and a small bottle of fizz it makes it worthwhile and that more welcoming. Thank you again for letting us stay with you.

Amazing welcome at this guest house, visited for my mum's 80th and I stayed in the single room whilst my mum and niece stayed in the twin room. Couldn't fault the rooms which were tastefully decorated. Comfy beds and excellent service from the staff. Even arranged booking a table for our evening meal. On-site parking and only short distance walk into the village (which was picture perfect!) Breakfast was stunning and willing to adapt choices if asked. Will definitely be returning
