Could do better. Could try harder.
Pros:

Location and layout
Food was good.
Staff were young friendly and hard working
Couldn’t do enough for you.

Cons:

Unkempt. Needs painted. Weeds growing around building. Tables and chairs outside were not clean. Need a good sweep up around the yard.
Far too few staff for the numbers. Charging 5 star rates with 3.8 star standards.
Doors to rooms off street were flaking paint.
Gym tiny for the size of the place.
Lacking attention to detail generally.
Living off its name.

Superb
Pros:

We struggled with the spiral stairs up to our room 59. Room very dark but totally adequate and very comfortable bed. Ground floor room would have been better for us or first floor with minimal stairs. Pleased to have disabled parking though a bit of a trek to the car park lugging cases. Food excellent a wider choice on menu would have been good but what we had was absolutely first class. Service friendly and superb. Whole place spotless. Lovely courtyard outside. Wonderful experience overall and a special treat for us for our pending Ruby wedding later in the year.

Cons:

Rooms too dark. Otherwise how can you improve on perfection!!

Nice hotel but didn't meet expectations for the price.
Pros:

Great location. Staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere and beautiful gardens. Nice touch with champagne in the room for our Anniversary.

Cons:

Suite very dark. In keeping with the style of the property but on a hot summers day it felt quite oppressive. Mold on bathroom tile grout which was a surprise for this standard of hotel. The furniture in the room was more shabby chic than antique. It was a bit tired to be honest but large. No mini bar. Could have done with a better fan as the Dyson one was next to useless. Lunch was an extortionate £60 for 2 sandwiches, a beer and a medium glass of wine! Breakfast was OK, had better.

Great ambience
Pros:

Right in the heart of town and in main st of Broadway. Beautiful old medieval looking place with lots of lovely sitting rooms downstairs and a really lovely restaurant.

Cons:

The only thing we didn’t like was the shower it was impossible to work out how to turn on

Awful breakfst
Pros:

The evening meal was enjoyable and pretty much value for money.

Cons:

Our breakfast was the worse we have ever experienced, 15 minutes wait to be seated then an hour for our breakfast which we had to remind staff for as they were clearing the breakfast items from the dining room, I asked for beans on toast which were burnt and also items were missed off two other breakfast the poached egg was not cut and ra and the scrambled egg was dry . The cheese and ham omelette had no ham in either. A terrible experience and then we had to wait again 15 minutes to speak to a manager. I’m sure this standard wouldn’t be something James Martin would want to happen under his name. Totally unexceptable and ruined our stay at the Lygon Hotel the rooms we’d booked under Fearns & Jackson 2 rooms but Mr James Fearns payed the bill. Again very very disappointing for a Hotel of this supposed standard.

A Wonderful Overnight Stay
Pros:

Room was lovely, quite spacious and loved the small outside space with table and chairs. Sadly we were booked to meet friends somewhere else for dinner or we would have most definitely dined in the restaurant. Breakfast was lovely although the scrambled was was quite a small portion and went cold very quickly but overall, the breakfast was wonderful, plenty of choice.

Cons:

Generally nothing.
