Helen Iwanczuk left this review about The Lamb Inn
As we were in Bourton-On-The-Water, we're decided to take a trip to The Lamb in, via the local bus service. The interior is quite cosy, exactly what you would expect from a country pub. Amongst other items, there was a propeller from a Spitfire hanging on the wall, a nod to the local Airfield nearby.
There were two ales available, both from Brakspear, there was a third handpull which wasn't in use during our visit.
I quite liked The Lamb Inn, and would happily call in again. However I do wish pubs would cease from playing irritating music in the background - even in country pubs these days. It adds nothing to the ambience of the pub.

Open all day - which is nice for a remote pub. One real ale on - but I couldn't bring myself to order a Spitfire, sensing beer may not be their primary reason for trading. Setup as a restaurant, with a tidy interior that wasn't as distinctive as it Cotswold Stone exterior.

I guess you have to accept you're in Cotswold tourist central and lower your expectations accordingly. From the outside you've got the usual attractive stone building much of which has been around for centuries. Once you're in it becomes obvious the design consultants have had their way and you could be anywhere. But it's primarily a hotel and Sunday lunch place so most of its users won't mind that. Beers include example from Wychwood and Ringwood and an eponymous 3.5% house ale. I suspect it might be Brakspear's bitter though it was as bland as a Lib Dem MP and not helped by being served in a glass which was dirty until exactly half way up - you know they way the bubbles stick? The food hygiene rating might explian that. Oh and the food is astonishingly expensive too. £13.50 for a ploughman's? Get away!
Conclusion: all fur coat and no knickers.
