This hotel is beautiful and well kept. Our room was very spacious for a family of 4, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The pool area is lovely and the friendly staff left the pool open in order to give our children time to swim after a late check in. Our room was in a newer building, and very comfortable. Food was delicious in every restaurant, there were a few fruit flies around, but the place was clean. Would love to return.

Wonderful staff, immaculate property, charming location. A great place to relax and explore the region. Located away from the bustle of the town. The staff bears a special mention - every single person working at the restaurants and the front desk was exceptionally nice! I can’t wait to come back to this place in the future!

I wish we had had more time to enjoy the property amenities, but the room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Really a luxury experience after a long day hiking the Cotswold Way. We also highly recommend the restaurant, where we had a delicious dinner and a really lovely breakfast before leaving the next morning.

The hotel is beautiful, the perfect setting for a wonderful escape. The rooms were good sizes and clean with all the amenities in them for your stay. The reception staff were dismissive. We arrived 45 minutes before checking in time and asked if they could let us know when our room was ready if we waited next door to reception, no apparently. When people started passing us with their room keys we asked when ours would be ready and was reminded check in time would be at 3. At 3pm we were excited to get our key and head to the outdoor pool to enjoy the glorious weather. However, sun loungers were first come first served and these were all taken by day spa guests by the time we checked in so the pool we booked the hotel for was not usable. Then on to dinner. Our order was taken but the waiting team were distracted by the bar team so after 45 minutes I checked that they had indeed put our order into the system and they hadn’t so we reordered and waited for our food. It’s so disappointing that this amazing hotel is let down by its staff and its policies as it ruined our experience
