Stumbled upon this beautiful Cotswold stone coaching inn while on honeymoon. Almost hidden by the creeper growing up the walls we then braked hard ,reversed and had a wonderful meal with excellent service in a beautiful old pub with blood red walls, wooden floors and tables with dried hops hanging from the ceilings. Almost a time warp, what you expect... more

We stayed at The Wild Duck, after a long weekend in Wales. We'd just left a stunning B and B in the Brecon Beacons, where we paid a lot less than the room at The Wild Duck. To sum it up, it's a great pub, nice atmosphere, tasty food and fun interior but the accomadation was awful. Room was freezing... more

I have read all the reviews and was very suprised at what i read . I stayed for 1 night at the wild duck in August 2009 in the superior suite. I found the room to be clean , fresh and bright. The staff in the bar were lovely and friendly . The food was amazing servi ce was good... more

I booked 3 rooms for family stay and one was tired and dirty full of insects, the second had no head on the shower and no help to get it sorted out and thirdly generally shabby. This place is very poorly maintained with over growing ivy and border shrubs, Dangerous broken steps and no outside lights after midnight should you... more

i found the wild duck to be what we are now lacking in the uk, as most of the uk pubs have been turned into gastro pubs. I found the wild duck to be a magical find, the food was amazing, the staff were so friendly and the ambiance was second to none. i would recommend 100%, unless you are... more

for a treat we decided to stay at the wild duck, we were completely taken in by the website. their marketing is good but they absolutely do not deliver. For £135 per night you would expect the lightbulbs in the very dark bathroom to all be working, they were not. the travel cot had no bedding, the milk was uht... more

A fabulous inn in a wonderful location. The hosts were charming and attentive. We stayed in the Chinese Suite. The room itself is beautiful - stylish, comfortable and clean with all comforts provided. The restaurant is excellent and the standard of food very high. As a vegetarian I was offered a selection of at least 7 dishes and was advised... more

First impression 'quaint and querky', then 'dark and dingy'. Overpriced, shabby, dirty decor. Low lighting to hide the faults. Not impressed by the mousetraps in the bathroom cupboard either! And we had booked a superior room! We had pre-booked a table for our evening meal but still had to wait over an hour, which I consider poor service for guests... more

We booked 4 rooms, 3 for 2 nights and 1 for 1 night to celebrate a 70th birthday with friends. All our standard double rooms were small, badly lit, bathroom grouting grubby but worst of all no hot water except for one evening. The list of problems was endless. The only redeeming feature is that the food was good., apart... more
