My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though a bit tired and in need of refurbishment, had a cozy charm with a beautiful old window overlooking the courtyard. The service from the management team and staff was exceptional, being friendly, kind, and accommodating to both me and my furry friend. The location, while ideal for exploring the Cotswolds, suffered from noise due to its proximity to a busy kitchen. The dining experience offered good quality food, but portion size may leave you wanting more. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

This hotel is located right in the heart of one of the Cotswolds most iconic villages, making it perfect for exploring the area on foot or by car. The rooms have unique beams everywhere, adding character, but some may find them a bit overwhelming. The service was incredibly welcoming, especially towards pets, offering a sausage treat. The dining options were a bit limiting, but the breakfast was exceptional. Overall, a lovely town and area to stay in.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were lovely, bright, and airy, with a view of the courtyard at the back. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it hard to leave for breakfast. The exquisite room and lovely bathroom, along with a great breakfast and endless coffee, made for a cozy experience. However, taller guests may find the quaint and cozy rooms a bit challenging, and the bathroom required a short trek along the landing. Overall, a charming but not ideal choice for taller guests.
