Spent an absolutely brilliant weekend at the Shaven Crown for my 30th birthday over Easter weekend. Phil couldn’t have been more accommodating and for £45 a night for dinner, bed and breakfast it was an absolute steal. We booked up all the rooms so had the run of the place – would thoroughly recommend this place for a New Years... More

Yes, there are parts of the building that are in some need of a little TLC but for the money this place is fantastic. The building is a trip back in time, the entrance lobby room feels like you are on the set of a medieval film and the staff are absolutely fantastic. We had the run of the place... More

Room 8 - avoid at all costs. Dirty walls, black grouting all over the shower, stained bed sheets. It is the coldest room possible due to it being over a walkway. It is such a shame, the hotel could be so much better due to its age and history, but it fails at so many levels, To get any service... More

We stayed at the Shaven Crown Hotel at Shipton Under Wychwood this is lovely old Hotel with some lovely woodwork and amazing old doors, The breakfast was very good and the usual choice of full Cotswold breakfast fruit juice and cereal and restaurant for dinner was very reasonable and a good choice, Our room was very comfortable and under floor...

This is an amazing old building with a great deal of atmosphere. Many of the comments made by others are true - the rooms do need to be cleaned more thoroughly, it is difficult to find any staff to attend to you and there is a bit of a 'take us as you find us' attitude (although they were not...

Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly man although the reception area was quite spectacular it would have been greatly enhanced if the fire had of been lit. We stayed in the famous room 11 and our friends in room 9 they said their room was small and not much larger than cupboard. Room 11 was large could do... More

I had bought a KGB deal last year, and had to stay at the hotel before the 15/3/13. After reading the previous reviews we went to stay at the hotel with some trepidation. How wrong could we be! We did not have any problems with the staff, who were all very polite and helpful. Also no problem booking in, as... More

Nice 700 year old former Monks Monastery...just a shame some parts of this property feel and look 700 years old! (Well, a couple of 100 but you get the point.....) The executive summary reads "this hotel is unloved, almost certainly going bankrupt soon and, as long as the future owners spend the considerable sums required for the necessary extensive renovations,...

The man who claimed to own the place seem to be there on his own, and it wouldn't be suprising if he cooked the food and 'cleaned' the rooms himself, he seemed ok but seemed to disappear and its a big place to look for someone to order food or ask for something. Food was great, fresh and didn't take... More
