Volunteer Inn

Every person I interacted with at the Volunteer Inn was really friendly - from the young woman behind the bar who greeted me and checked me in, to the chaps in the Indian restaurant (no cooking smells in the bedrooms, as restaurant quite separate, just in case you're worried abou that!), to the lady who cooked my delicious breakfast in the morning. The breakfast was really good - real coffee, wonderfully fresh eggs and great sausages and bacon. Lots of choice for vegetarians and those just wanting cereal too. I hadn't stayed in a b&b with a shared bathroom for years, so had been a bit worried about that aspect, but it was totally fine, as the bathroom was accessed by a key and it was only shared with one other room. I felt safe and comfortable, so that was not an issue. Although I'm originally from Cheltenham, I had not been to Chipping Campden for decades - WOW! It's one of the most unspoiled Costwold towns I've seen, with the most thatched houses in one place I think I've ever seen! The villagers I spoke with were so very helpful and friendly (was on a quest for new tights for my evening biz meeting!) Looks like the town is directly on the Cotswold Way too, so I shall return with my daughter and have a good old yomp! Recommend very highly - the bedroom was simple, but clean and very comfy (the only reason I marked down to a 4 on cleanliness was because my little waste bin had not been emptied from the previous stay....feel a bit mean doing that but, well, it is important...) I can't wait to go back!

The pub and hotel rooms do not work well together. Very noisy . The room is so hot we had to keep the windows open Just letting all the sound in from the smoking area right below the window. breakfast was good. However, the hotel is way overpriced for what you get.

A super-friendly inn with a friendly atmosphere including dogs and people at the same time in the pub. Ales are good, and the curry in the Indian cuisine next door is yummy. Pub has dart nights every week and quiz nights once a month. Cotswold Way starts at the doorstep, choose whether to walk to f.i. Dover's Hill ( site for the annual Cotswold Games at the end of May:-) or Broadway (Tower) a bit further. Room was nice, clean and tidy, bathroom same. Only minus for us staying at first floor was a little bit noise from the pub late at night. I recommend the Volunteer Inn highly! Enjoy Chipping Camden and this 300-year-old inn with friendly people, great ales and spicy Indian curries! It's all genuine!

I absolutely love this Pub. Quintessentially English, quaint and a great little atmosphere. The drinks are super cheap here and out back is a delicious Indian restaurant. Recommend you visit this place to watch sports, socialise with the friendly locals or just relax. What a gem of a place.

Check in was friendly, efficient and fast. The room was clean, however the bed was uncomfortable and resulted in a very poor nights sleep. The en-suite bathroom was large but the shower very poor and difficult to use because of such a poor flow of water. The breakfast was great value and very tasty. The town and area is a lovely place to visit.

Just an overnight stay to start the Cotswold Way walk. Didn’t eat dinner there as we weren’t in the mood for Indian food. Room was clean and comfortable and spacious for three. Lovely historical building full of character. Hotel has a great luggage transfer service for ‘Way’ walkers - cost competitive and reliable option for ten transfers. Breakfast was good, early and efficient. Overall - good value for money.
