   Very nice ambience in old part of hotel. Good food and friendly service for evening meal. Reasonable choice and excellent deserts. Wine selection good at range of prices and qualities. We had the lamb roast which was particularly tasty with gravy and fresh green vegetables.

   The one-man bar team was slow, the cider was off. When we went to be seated we were told there was no booking, I offered to show them my confirmation email, there was lots of chat between the two waitresses but they insisted there was no booking. Eventually they logged into the opentable app, where my booking appeared. We were told it was not their fault and they didn't know why I'd booked via that app (it's on the link from their website) When we were seated we were informed 2 of the roast meats had sold out which left only beef, at 1400 on a Sunday I was quite surprised by this and have to assume the kitchen is very poorly stocked. To be fair, the food was good but the overall experience was very underwhelming.

   The Porch House is a beautiful preserved quite old building with modern comfort and great food. My husband and I enjoyed a delightful mackerel appetizer and duck breast and calves liver respectively, and found all to be delicious. the atmosphere is lovely and of course the ambience of the antiquity charming. Highly recommended!

   Suprisingly good food, and the service was friendly and good. And compared to Swedish restaurants, you got value for the money.

   Sunday lunch beef is exquisite; portions just right to be able to eat a dessert.

   nice ambience and sweet, caring staff. then again, they weren't very knowledgable on the food which was served. great minus for being served presumably tap water to drink. it literally smelled like a swimming pool which totally puts you off eating. dishes were served twice when one of us was at the restroom, which doesn't feel very appropriate. i would also have appreciated some more non-alcoholic options on the menu. maybe there were some available, but the waiters didn't inform us when I said I'm driving and cannot drink.

   My partner told the staff it was my birthday and when they brought our dessert out mine came with a candle. This was such a lovely gesture. The food was great and the service was second to none.

   The staff were extremely warm and friendly and the food was of a great standard too. We were visiting the Cotswolds for the weekend so drove about 20 minutes to get there, but it was worth it as the ambience was great :)

    We were on a mini break when we went to the porch house, we throughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend to anyone. Great food, great service, great ambiance, can't wait to return in the winter when the fires are lit!
