Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a beautiful area, making it easy to explore the Cotswolds. The rooms have very comfortable beds, providing a cozy stay. While the service was attentive, there were instances of staff complaints. The dining options were satisfactory but having to pre-book the restaurant was a drawback. Overall, a lovely place with a few minor issues to consider.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious rooms featuring very comfortable beds. The service was decent with some room for improvement. The location is excellent for exploring the Cotswolds, but the disappointment of a closed restaurant was a downside. The dining experience was enjoyable with included chopped salads. Overall, a nice hotel with great facilities.
The hotel is conveniently located for easy access around the Cotswolds but be prepared to book the restaurant for drinks as bar snacks are not available. The rooms offer very comfortable beds with tea & coffee provided, though the shower could use some improvement. The service is exceptional with attentive room service and housekeeping, but occasional staff conversations could be overheard. The dining experience includes delicious Singapore noodles but is sometimes limited. Overall, a great value for money stay.
