“The Golden Cross strikes me as a particularly good choice for families, mixing a 17th-century building with practical, modern amenities; I also noted the very dog-friendly atmosphere throughout the dining areas. Its location makes exploring Cirencester easy, and the reported breakfast quality suggests a solid start to the day for any traveler. It's a place that seems to balance historic charm with contemporary needs quite well.”

a lovely stay!
natural light comfortable bed
The room was beautiful with high ceilings and lots of natural light coming through the windows. it also had a kettle with many different types of tea!!! the bed was quite comfortable. The shower pressure was lovely too.
I could have used a fan in the room. I had to have the windows open to try and cool the room. it meant it was quite noisy as the slightest noise outside was carried down the narrow streets.

the hotel has a central location, steps away from a good mix of shops, cafes, and historical landmarks. this proximity allowed me to explore local attractions with ease. walking around was so simple!

We stayed in a Double Room Private Bathroom. The room decoration was great. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly.
The room didn't have a coat hanger and no closet was available. No chair, no box of tissues, and the TV didn't work. The mattress wasn't comfortable.
