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!

Great place to start the Cotswold Way. The room was clean, beds comfortable and options for dining available locally. Breakfast good and veggie options available. Really quaint village with a couple of pubs nearby serving food. Baggage transfers also available for onward travel on the Cotswold Way and other routes in the area.

This eclectic local establishment bleeds with life and exuberance. Having frequently visited the Volunteer in my years, I have come to realise that bliss may be achieved through a cold pint and a warm welcome. This pub is few and far between. I met the love of life within these walls, for which I will be forever grateful.

The two rooms (8 and 9) over the pub bar are so noisy that they are simply not suitable to let. The noise from the bar made sleep impossible before 12.40am , when finally it went quiet. It’s the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and if like me, a good nights sleep is your top priority , then just don’t go there !

What's to like, The Pub is just at the edge of town so you don't need to worry about which way to turn it's right. It's on the Cotswold way so if you're walking it's ideal. Our room no.2 on the first floor was fine overlooking the very pleasant beer garden. The staff are really friendly we arrived in the chaos of their summer festival and the cup final but the girl on duty had no problem showing us our rooms. Breakfast was excellent and the evening curry from their partnership Indian restaurant on the premises was outstanding. The pub bar is basic and was clearly frequented by friendly if somewhat noisy locals which for us was great. If I was returning to Chipping Camden I wouldn't bother looking elsewhere. What's not to like, Well it's nit picking but I'd like a shelf in the shower cubicle and the toilet seat won't stay up

Lovely warm clean comfortable room. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. A bit noisy (rooms are over the bar). On street parking limited.

The Volunteer Inn was a lovely place for a 2-night stay while in the area for a wedding. The room (twin beds for me and my daughter) was a good size, very clean and nicely decorated. It was well equipped with towels, tea tray etc. There was some noise from the public during opening hours but it didn’t bother us and should be expected. The breakfasts were fantastic and they have a good system for preordering the night before. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and the check in/out process was quick and easy.

Clean comfortable room ,very friendly staff ,plenty for breakfast, well organised and quiet as rooms away from main pub area ,would use again

Peter was a great help with getting me checked-in early, as I was off for a wedding and would have otherwise struggled. Super friendly and helpful and got an upgrade on the room too. The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The town is so lovely and pretty. As it is a historic property, the stairs and floor above were a bit creaky. something to bear in mind if you're sound-sensitive...
