Hotels near RAF Fairford - FFD, Whelford

A small town but full of character. St Mary’s church is wonderful with such a helpful church steward who was so informative. I would have used Fairford as a base to discover other towns and places of interest in the area. We ate at the Bull Inn and at a local coffee shop, Lynwoods

Kempsford is a quiet village. There is a church and a pub. The pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. New houses are being built on the edge of the village. A lot of cars left the village in the mornings, so a lot of people live, but don't work there. Swindon and Cirencester are easy to reach. The countryside around Kempsford is beautiful.

Lots of things to do in the area, we particularly liked the Cotswold Sculpture park and Kelmscot Manor. Restaurants in Cricklade were good. The village is nice to walk around with a small post office / shop a few yards away. The outside of the house was still being done up but the inside was nice and comfortable. To get to the parking you had to drive onto the building site at the back but this was not a problem.

Comfortable bed. nice size rooms. good beer, friendly staff. freshly cooked breakfasts.Easy parking. What's not to like? Also Fairford is a nice little town the Church is well worth a visit very old with wonderful stained glass windows and lots of history. It all made for an enjoyable stay at the Bull.

It’s a beautiful and unique part of the uk. I think the standard of food and general excellence has declined since the last time we were here in 2019 . I think brexit and Covid has put enormous pressure on tourism. And the standards have dropped. As a Consequence . The bull hotel was lovely and the staff were nice. I’m talking generally about the uk. We visited a few hotels in England and Scotland and our experience was the same .

we came to see the stained glass in the church, which I had long wanted to see; it was magnificent and we very much appreciated the highly informed commentary from the guide, Margaret. We also very much enjoyed the town, which is beautiful, and our stay in the Bull. A memorable visit which we highly recommend.
