Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is positioned in an idyllic location on the edge of the Cotswolds, offering a great base to explore the surrounding area. The rooms come with a shower for an extra £5 and provide a damp, sweaty feel when the window is open. The service, although well-intentioned, is not always delivered flawlessly. The dining experience, despite some issues with food quality, offers quick service for grilled fish. The hotel boasts well-maintained gardens for pleasant walks, but the dining options can be disappointing.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were well-equipped, and the service was friendly, although a bit rushed at times. The location was idyllic, perfect for exploring the Cotswolds, but the dining options were a mixed bag. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with a large extremely comfortable bed and lush products, alongside a nice view of the gardens. The service was attentive, although there were some minor shortcomings. Positioned in the Cotswolds, it provides a perfect base to explore the surrounding area, with a charming location within well-maintained gardens. Dining had its ups and downs, with lovely options but some food quality issues. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement in some areas.
