A highly regarded restaurant and bar, it soon became apparent that there was a demand for guest rooms in the area and The Vines opened its 18 rooms in 2006, 12 being in a separate wing, overlooking the lovely Black Bourton Church.
Organisational skills and determination to maintain high standards in accommodation ensure high occupancy levels, satisfied customers, a large number of recommendations and a high volume of repeat business.
Lovely quiet little hotel. I stayed in a double room in the Annex & it had everything I required. The bed was comfy, the room had plenty of space & was clean & quiet. Unfortunately I got there too late to enjoy a meal but they did keep the bar open so I could have a couple of beers when I arrived. The evening staff could not have been more friendly helpful too. The mornings full English breakfast was one of the best I have tasted. Again, the staff on in the morning were fantastic. I'll definitely choose it again next time I'm in the area.
We stayed one night in September, when we were shown to our room, we had to wait while the person from the room next door removed his clothes from the wardrobe in our room, apparently his basin was not in use so he had to use our facilities. We were offered another room after we said we would like to cancel, which we accepted, this room was OK but the shower room was tiny........ We were told we didn't need to book for dinner and we soon realised why, this was the hotel's dinner menu!!! Unbelievable!!! Warning bells should have rung when we couldn't find any details of the food on the hotel website.... we had to drive to a restaurant in the next village!! The breakfast was very good although had to complain about the yogurt as although in date clearly something wrong with it!!!! Not a very enjoyable "treat" night away.
Had a one night stay on Wednesday. We were given a very warm welcome by Ian. Our room was large, clean and comfortable with huge fluffy towels.Breakfast was perfect. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Had a lovely weekend stay at The Vines. Found the staff/management to be very friendly, cheerful, and willing to go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We had cooked breakfast each morning, we could not fault it. Excellent. The evening food is themed, which I enjoy trying different food, unfortunately my husband is a steak aholic when on holiday but they managed to sort something out for him. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable. They cater to people with mobility problems (which we are) we had a ground floor room with walk in shower located in the cottage next door to dining room Thank you to all at The Vine
Feels like a family hotel. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel has a relaxed comfortable feel about it. The menu is very restricted. However the quality is excellent. Breakfast is good. Attention to detail appears to be missing. With customer service you have to step up near enough is not good enough. The grounds need a touch of TLC. Would I stay again. Yes, but in order to survive and flourish in today's hospitality industry they will need to up there game.
