Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a basic but clean room, though some noise from extractor fans can be heard. Staff service varied, with some being pleasant like Georgina, while others seemed stressed. The location is excellent for beautiful views and easy access to scenic walks. Overall, a decent value for money choice with comfortable rooms and pleasant communal areas.
The hotel is situated in a beautiful location, great for visiting the Cotswolds and enjoying long walks over Cleeve Hill. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, could use some revamping. The service was friendly overall, but there were some issues with management. The dining experience was decent, but improvements could be made. The hotel offers lovely views, but it needs a bit of a revamp to enhance the overall stay.
The hotel has a fab location, great for walks and exploring further afield in the Cotswold, but could benefit from a revamp. The service was wonderful with great food and comfy beds. The rooms, however, were very run down and in need of decoration. The dining options were a bit of a letdown, with overcooked and cold dishes. The location offers breathtaking views but is in need of refurbishment.
