The Wild Rabbit

Really beautiful cosy pub, perfect English countryside stopover. It’s exactly what you think of when you think of a lovely but posh pub in the country. The food was amazing, portions needed to be bigger though. It was my birthday and i got glass of bubbly and a small dessert. The food did take over an hour to arrive, the service was amazing but i had to take a star off for the wait. Chocolate tart was insanely good. Would come back but the portions left something to be desired.

Well it’s a beautiful place and GREAT SERVICE! Room exceptional! I stay at a lot of hotels and I was worried when I read the reviews I have to admit, BUT what a load of waffle! The hotel is EXCELLENT. We stayed for one night and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and well presented! In fact the rooms are better than a lot of rooms where I have stayed for a lot more money. Hotels smells beautiful and fires are always attended too, keeping it nice and warm. Don’t be put off by the reviews as they are honestly waffle. In fact I cannot believe people write such negative things. I am very fussy but this hotels was stunning. Well done all, great hotel and beautiful hospitality! Very impressed and thanks for a lovely stay! Thank you

I took my wife to the wild rabbit to celebrate our anniversary and had the tasting menu. We ordered a special bottle of wine. The food was great but the service and ambience completely ruined the experience for us. At one point we had to wait 45 minutes in between one course, to the point where we ran out of wine for the rest of our courses and had to miss the final course because we were worried we would miss our taxi (we'd assumed 3 hours would have been long enough for dinner!) When we expressed our concerns to the waiter we were greeted with an attitude explaining that we should deal with it because a tasting menu concept takes time... so we were in the wrong. On top of that the chef decided it's okay to put a loud timer that blares out across the whole restaurant every 10 minutes like a morning alarm clock which was so incredibly irritating and not something you'd expect in a fine dining experience. We got no gesture or apology for our terrible experience. And the whole experience cost us 350 gbp. So we left feeling very shortchanged. It has the feeling of a big chain where the staff / management don't seem to have much love for the place or care about their customers.

Second trip to The Wild Rabbit, first time staying (in the Beehive). Having booked in July for our December anniversary, we highly anticipated our weekend away at a country pub very close to our hearts. However - the experience certainly didn’t live up to the reputation or expectations that we had seen on the likes of Instagram. Having been told we were the first to book a dinner reservation for this date (in the restaurant) when booking in July, we were somewhat disappointed to be pointed to a table in the bar, amongst the local drinking crowd, right next to the cold front door. So much for the ‘romantic table in the restaurant’. Having questioned this with the staff, we were greeted with negative attitudes and even told that “changing our table was a risk for them” - sorry for booking in July and expecting better at £330/night. The staff then provided us a table in the dining room. Despite the quality of food being fantastic, the service was pretty damn awful. Negative staff, forgetting one of our starters, no sign of bread despite the ‘fancy’ butter on the table, and the lack of care and attention in general. I could go on… the restaurant lacked atmosphere and was reflective of a crisp December night, cold. The Beehive was lovely, but does have cracks starting to show. The highlight of this being a leak in the shower which dripped through the flooring and created a large puddle in the kitchen area on the ground floor (see below). Taking this into consideration, we certainly wouldn’t consider (or recommend) a stay at The Wild Rabbit at £330+/night. We also ate at their sister pub, The Fox at Oddington, which was lovely. The staff at The Wild Rabbit could certainly learn a thing or two about manners and decorum from the lovely team at The Fox.

Love this place, and enjoyed our fourth stay very much. Quaint little pub in the lovely little village of Kingham in the Cotswold. The rooms are quirky, kids loved them. We ate in the bar which is very relaxed and kid friendly, the restaurant serves a lovely looking taster menu. We stayed here the night prior to the Big Feastival as only down the road. Highly recommended.
