Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was super friendly. The location was great, close to an enchanting river, providing easy access to other towns. The dining experience was outstanding, with a special surprise for my birthday. However, some areas could be improved for a truly luxurious experience.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms vary in size, with some being spacious and well-equipped, but cleanliness could be improved. The service is hit or miss - while some staff members go the extra mile, others may be off-putting. The location is charming and ideal for exploring The Cotswolds, but there are minor issues with noise and seating arrangements. The dining experience has highlights but also drawbacks like limited self-service options. Overall, a stay here has its ups and downs.
The hotel is hidden away in a lovely Cotswolds village, ideal for those seeking a pretty and peaceful location. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but some cleanliness issues and the lack of air conditioning can be a drawback. The service, while attentive on some occasions, seemed more focused on personal interactions than guest needs. The dining experience is top-notch with a wide selection, although room service surprises may occur. Overall, a charming location with room for improvement in service and room maintenance.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit drab and could have used some color to brighten them up. Unfortunately, there were creaking floorboards above that were quite noticeable. On the positive side, my wife discovered a clever trick to stop a horrible rattling noise by running hot water. However, the radiator didn't provide much warmth, only reaching lukewarm levels.
The hotel is nestled in beautiful surroundings, offering a peaceful retreat where you can feel like you're in your own little apartment. While the rooms could use a bit of a spruce up, the overall experience was pleasant and relaxing.
The hotel was in a charming village that was ideal for exploring the rest of Cotswolds. The rooms were well-maintained with a lovely garden view, but the layout with stairs over two floors was not ideal for elderly guests. The friendly and accommodating service stood out, especially with special touches for celebrations. The dining experience offered a great choice of deliciously presented meals, while the overall facilities were well-kept and convenient.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a huge comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom, but falls short on amenities and pricing. The service is top-notch, with a helpful and friendly staff willing to go out of their way to assist. The location is perfect for exploring nearby traditional Cotswolds villages. The dining experience, although possibly the best ever, had some inconsistencies. Overall, the hotel provides a pleasant stay with welcoming service and a beautiful location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered excellent views over the river to the church, and the walk-in wardrobe was very spacious. However, the rooms were a bit small, and the towels provided were of poor quality. The breakfast was average and the public rooms felt a bit plastic. The location was convenient, being close to Bourton-on-the-Water by the river for a relaxing drink, but the lounges lacked coziness, with uncomfortable wooden benches dominating the outdoor area.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were disappointing with disrupted sleep due to noise, lack of space, and missing amenities. On the upside, the service was helpful and pleasant, though some improvements could be made. The location provided opportunities for sightseeing, but there were challenges with noise in the service area. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with delicious options but some quality issues with the breakfast. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
