The Old Lodge

Stayed for one night in order to visit our childhood homes and relatives nearby. The room was disappointing. Gone downhill since we last visited. Both bedroom and bathroom in need of upgrading/ renovation. Window panes were double glazed but blown… condensation between the layers meant we could hardly see out. Floor tiles in bathroom moved. Bathroom desperate for a facelift. Furnishings and rug in bedroom were tired and grubby and bed uncomfortable. Hall carpet also in serious need of replacement. It’s a shame as this is a lovely location and it could be very good. On the plus side breakfast was very good and staff all polite and helpful.

Stayed the night in this lovely pub/B&B. Had a lovely comfortable room overlooking the golf course. Ate in the restaurant in the evening which was very nice and had a delicious hearty breakfast in the morning. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and we enjoyed having a drink there. The staff were really friendly and made a point of saying to us ‘see you in the morning for breakfast’ when we went up to our room. I was really happy with our stay.

We are local to Minchinhampton, and having been to this pub many many times over the years, this was the worst experience we have ever had. We had friends staying for the weekend and thought we'd take them to the Old Lodge for a late afternoon/early evening drink (5:15 pm) on a very cold, damp and wet evening. There were no tables in the bar area in the front room, but many empty tables available in the restaurant. When we were about to order our drinks we were asked if we had a reservation. We said we didn't as we'd just like a drink. We were told we could either take our drinks outside in the garden (it was damp and freezing) or we could leave! This was totally surprising as the pub wasn't full. We were offered no explanation and the gentleman was rather off-hand. We then went to the Crown at Minchinhampton, the staff there were very welcoming, and we passed a very pleasant evening. I would really welcome an explanation for this, as we have never been turned away from a pub before, which we consider unacceptable.

Staff are very warm and welcoming, nothing seemed too much trouble. Beautiful surroundings located in AONB, as I drove up Cattle and Horses were openly grazing on the surrounding open land. Room was clean and provided tea and coffee making facilities, bathroom was snug, but expected from a converted old building. Views across the surrounding villages were lovely. Booked to eat in the restaurant and the food didn't disappoint and generous portion sizes. Breakfast was included with my booking and there was a good variety on offer, but went for full english . Will definitely come back for another visit.

Location great. Staff lovely . Food and breakfast excellent . What’s not to like?! Great base for visiting the area ( we went to Highgrove Gardens amongst other venues) but also if you just fancied some time away relaxing . Beer garden on a sunny day was superb!

Very nice place. Friendly staff, good food and comfortable room. Great location for Stroud. Surrounded by golf courses, dog walkers, cows and horses! Quite busy at times but the staff seemed to cope well.

The location is stunning. The staff are amazing. The food is to die for. Set in the middle of minchinhampton common near stroud. Close to lots of places to visist in the cotswolds. Would highly recommended this place. Got to be the best place in the cotswolds. Roccoc gardens are only 16 mins drive and well worth a visit

Lunch! The finest fish dish I've had in years. Sea Bream with mussels and lobster sauce with new pots and samphire. I'd have gone back for supper had I lived nearer! What a chef, and also lovely staff. I look forward to trying the whole menu. Thank you to all at The Old Lodge for a truly great meal in beautiful surroundings

Couldnt even get to book a table for next Saturday. After ringing 3 times, twice someone answering and then the line going dead, got through eventually. Were told we'd need to pre-order our meals for a large party (of 10) and pay £50 deposit. When I said it was a birthday surprise and how could I order on their behalf they just kept saying its company policy!!! We've been going here for years, never had this before, very disappointed
