Rissington Inn

Amazing

What a find. Great privately owned 20 bed hotel/inn. Food was excellent and we loved the 2 'mini' main course options. Great idea. Staff wonderful and everyone tried to make our stay wonderful. We booked one night and then decided to stay another. Then amazingly they washed our car!!

The overall experience was bad because we had no water and electricity including generator were out initially. Electricity and AC returned 2 am only. We had dinner and breakfast and both were very good !

The room was huge and very comfortable with big windows, air conditioning!, a private balcony, little sitting area with magazines and great views over the gardens and pool. You can't beat the physical space... but the ambiance is, well, odd. It took three people to check us in painstakingly slowly although we did have complimentary juice to enjoy during the process. In the room there is an extensive rule book and the prohibitions include everything from tolerating the neighbors' cats to not chewing gum on the premises to no children in the dining room past 6:30. The staff moves in slow motion whether they are showing you to your room or taking your order in the dining room but on the plus side they are not chewing gum. I probably would not stay here again just out of the fear of running into the eccentric owner.

We have stayed at The Rissington many times and will stay many more times, it's like coming home. Thanks Chris and all the team for making this a very special place to stay
