Stunning Cotswold retreat, no AC
Pros:

Fantastic pub and the food and service cannot be faulted. The beds are very comfortable and the hotel rooms are very clean. The only that they do not have air-conditioning, a Dyson fan is offered in the cupboard however this makes no difference. For this to be a fivestar hotel asking for the prices that it is, air-conditioning must be invested for it to reach the status that claims to have. A bit of tourist trap during the day however the staff handle it very well and in the evening it does die down.

Pros:

Ein wunderschönes Hotel in zentraler Lage. Sehr schöne Terrassen. Wunderschöne stilvolle Innenräume. Das Restaurant ist nicht nur Hervorragend sondern hat auch eine tolle Atmosphäre.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war leider nicht in einem schönen Zustand. Die Terrasse verdreckt und die Vorhänge nicht komplett.
Nach zweimaliger Reklamation wurde das aber korrigiert. Hier hat sich die Hotelführung eingebracht.

Awful hotel
Pros:

We have just checked out after an awful stay. First night the toliet broke and was making the loudest noise throughout the night. Told reception in the morning and was asked “why didn’t we tell them earlier” what at 2am? Came back from our day out and was still waiting for a glass of wine in the courtyard 35 mins after sitting down. Do you think this acceptable?? Staff are shocking and they really need to have some in the art of hospitality. Last morning in our room the drain of the sink and shower were not draining. Lounge and furniture is covered in dust. Do you really think this is the standard of a 4 star hotel??? I don’t!

The worst service possible
Pros:

We have stayed here previously but thought we would just have a drink in the garden on this occasion. We ordered a drink immediately and 20 minutes later it had still not arrived. We chased it and then waited another ten minutes and still didn’t arrive. Other tables were served around us but nothing too fast. Eventually we got fed up waiting and just left without receiving a drink. Over 30 minutes wait for a pint of cider and two reminders is unacceptable no apology and then they will try to charge 10% service charge!!!
