Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were top-notch with a great smart TV, incredibly comfy bed, and step-free access. The high-quality toiletries added a touch of luxury to the whole experience. The service was outstanding, with brilliant customer service and lovely housekeeping. The location was perfect for exploring The Cotswolds, right in a picturesque village center. The dining options included great choices for vegetarians. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is situated in the heart of a charming Cotswolds town, making it an ideal spot to explore the area. The rooms are beautifully designed with character, especially the bathrooms, and the high-quality toiletries enhance the overall experience. The customer service is impeccable, with attentive housekeeping and lovely pet amenities available. However, the dining options may not be extensive, and the pricing could be more budget-friendly.
The hotel is perfectly located in the unspoilt small market town, making it an ideal spot to explore the Cotswolds. The rooms are designed with a larger bathroom than the bedroom, featuring a great smart TV and a massive shower. While the absence of a bathtub may disappoint some, the shower is impressive. The service, including housekeeping and welcome drink, is exceptional, but there is room for improvement in customer service understanding. Dining options cater to vegetarians and offer delicious sandwiches. The location is central, allowing easy access to various areas, and the charm of the old pub adds to the experience. Facilities are well-maintained and cater to pet owners with pet amenities available.
