    The bathroom is compact, and there's no wardrobe, but for a short stay, it was no problem. The bedroom is a good size and bed very comfortable. Being in a very quaint little street, there is no parking at The Golden Cross. But there is a public car park close by.

    The Golden Cross is in a lovely little street over the pub. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and were shown to our room. Had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Very clean and comfortable Very nice pub and a good menu, too. Would definitely stay again. I love Cirencester. It's so pretty and has a wonderful atmosphere. Excellent cafe beside it for breakfast and the museum beside that. I highly recommend staying here.

    Nothing

    We stayed 2 nights in the family room, which was perfect. Clean and nicely decorated, with big comfy beds and a good shower. Check in was super easy and we were made very welcome. We ate in the pub one evening and were very impressed, the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for having us!

    The location directly above the pub kitchen caused a bit of food smell in the room whit the windows open. This was no problem after the kitchen closed.

    A lovely b&b, small but charming rooms over a busy pub, perfect for an adult couple. It is located in Black Jack Street, the oldest (and in our opinion the coolest) street in Cirencester.

    Having a breakfast option and parking

    There was no breakfast available unfortunately however we managed to find a very good place to have breakfast a short walk from the venue. The area is worth a good explore with lots of craft shops and steeped in history

    Didn't have Breakfast. But food was good. Except Sunday lunch let down by warmed up Yorkshire pudding. I know it's difficult with a small kitchen.

    No parking.....we needed to park a little ways away and pay for parking. .....but it was fine. It's above a pub, but it wasn't noisy.

    We had booked another place, but they suddenly cancelled on us so the Golden Cross was a last minute choice. We were suprised to find we liked it! Location very central Spotless Helpful, attentive staff Modern , large rooms in an cool old building

    The communication could have been a little better, we didn't get a reply to our message on Booking. Also they didn't tell us we could check out by dropping the key to a box in the morning, we found this out when we went to ask. There wasn't a hairdryer in the room which was unusual. The wifi was a bit spotty. The kitchen was supposed to be open until 9 pm but to our disappointment we found out it was closed already before 8.30 pm.

    Very tidy, centrally located, with a lovely cute pub downstairs. We parked at the Sheep Street short term car park which was only a couple of minutes away by foot. There was also a long term car park nearby. We stayed in a family room, it was spacious and very comfortable, with personal little touches. The bed was comfy and there were block out curtains. The rooms were very clean, including the carpet. During the night it was quiet, but before 11 pm there were of course pub noises from downstairs.

    No parking. The local car parks are pretty expensive as well. No hair dryer in room. The staff tried to find one but didn't. The weather was very hot and the room was very warm during the night so fan would have helped. Tiny bathroom. Bars closed very early midweek.

    Great location in town for shops and restaurants.

    A great atmospheric pub close to town

    The tiniest bathroom I have ever experienced! Could just about get 2 hands in the washbasin and no space for any toiletries in the shower The bar was lovely and traditional with excellent food. But we were slightly put off by a large dog on a bar stool slobbering across the bar. It was nauseating. Don't mind dogs in bars .. but really? slobbering across the bar was unacceptable. Hey.. the owner was obviously a local dog-owner. who made a big deal about getting the dog up onto the bar stool..but it took her 10 minutes to persuade the poor animal. Even the dog wasn't too keen on it! Not sure how it fits in with health and safety.

    A great pub close to all amenities. Comfortable room. Wonderful staff. great bar and restaurant.
