"I have never felt robbed after visiting a restaurant before, I did last night. Service was poor and slow. Although some staff were good two had attitude with everything they did. The Steak was terrible. Hard to cut despite being medium rare. For the price I could have bought 3 and cooked to a far higher standard. The entire menu is overpriced for what it is. I won't be visiting again. Lack of atmosphere and to hear who I assume is the manager at the bar saying they are too busy for more or something along those lines. It was nowhere near full and you could see they were struggling. There was 6 of us and it was the biggest waste of £200 ever. Edit: forgot to mention the menu didn't make any sense, banoffee pie said it had a digestive base but it they used rich tea. So weird."

"First, I want to apologize for my photos; they didn’t turn out quite as I hoped. The dining room was stunning, beautifully dimmed for a romantic atmosphere, and provided the perfect blend of comfort and style—yet, unfortunately, my camera didn’t capture that well. So, keeping that in mind, I took my photos, boosted the saturation quite a bit, sharpened them a little, and adjusted the brightness. We recently dined in the dining room at Whatley Manor, and it was absolutely heavenly."

"A gem in the middle of a paradise. We were completely taken by surprise to find a Kerala food restaurant in Cotswold. Mustafa and Salim were amazing making us feel at home. Very much kid friendly since the staff was very accommodating to the demands of our 2yr old. Plenty of parking within the restaurant lot. Food was super yummy and we could see that most of the guests were regulars and locals who knew the quality of the food and service. This was very close to our AirBnB in a wonderful location. We ordered kerala parotha, veg malabari, Beetroot and Spinach pachadi, kerala king prawn, fish curry varutharachathu, Chicken puratiyathu, and everything was mouth watering. Highly recommend to stop by if you are anywhere near Cotswold or Bath and you won't go wrong if you're a fan of Indian food, especially Kerala cuisine!"

"The village pub has a warm and cozy atmosphere with a local feel, and features a well-maintained real fire. A pint of lime and soda costs 2.00 GBP. The pub is dog friendly, but dogs are only allowed water outside, so my dog had a melting ice cube instead. I can only give it a 3 pawsup review for this reason. The ladies toilet was clean but could use a good spring cleaning, as there were a lot of cobwebs that didn't look like they were leftover from Halloween. The Christmas decoration draped over the old cobweb showed a lack of attention to detail by the pub staff. I hope they take note and clean it before serving any Christmas dinners. The cheesy chips, handcut or French fries, marinated olives, and sourdough warm bread are all reasonably priced at 3.50 GBP each."

"Visited with family including 2 very hungry children. We were handed menus and told to order by a certain time which was fine by us. Half an hour before the kitchen closed we went to give our order only to be told the kitchen was closed. The Waitress, rather than apologise for the mix up, was quite the opposite. The bar man looked blankly at us and then shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Won’t be returning, not a friendly atmosphere for those visiting malmesbury. We’ll head somewhere that actually wants customers."
