Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the little touches added to the charm. I enjoyed relaxing in the bath provided. However, the velvet bed was not the most comfortable. The service was exceptional with attentive housekeeping, a welcoming drink, and pet amenities available. The location in The Cotswolds was simply lovely, offering easy access to gorgeous gardens. The dining experience with hot dishes included was a highlight. The facilities were top-notch.
I absolutely adored my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with a luxurious oyster shape velvet bed and charming touches all around. The bath was a lovely addition. However, the noise from the nearby restaurant did disrupt the peace late in the evening. The service was exceptional, and I felt truly pampered by the housekeeping and the special pet amenities available. Despite the slight disturbance from the restaurant noise, the location in the lovely area of The Cotswolds was a dream come true. Dining was a delight with a variety of different hot pot dishes to savor. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
This hotel is an absolute gem! The rooms are beautifully decorated with some lovely little touches, including the stunning upholstered oyster shape velvet bed and a relaxing bath. The service is fantastic, with attentive housekeeping, a delightful welcome drink, and even pet amenities available. The location in The Cotswolds is simply charming, although it can get a bit loud due to the nearby restaurant. Dining, with its exquisite grilled dishes, is a treat for the taste buds. The facilities are top-notch, offering everything one could need for a comfortable stay. The only downside is that the price may be a bit high for some, considering what's included.
