Pros:

La struttura e’ restaurata con gusto. La colazione molto varia e di qualita’.

Cons:

Avevamo prenotato con 2 mesi di anticipo una camera familiare con 2 letti matrimoniali che doveva essere di 40 mq invece ci hanno fatti alloggiare in una stanza piccola con il secondo letto in una micro camera dove dovevi letteralmente buttarti sul letto perche’ non c’era spazio per girarci intorno. Dopo la mia osservazione e richiesta di spostarci ci hanno detto che era l’unica camera familiare rimasta e che sapevano essere decisamente diversa dalle altre. Per scusarsi ci hanno rimborsato il costo della colazione. Un gesto gentile ma comunque quella stanza e’ stata una delusione

Quiet Stopover in the Cotswolds
Pros:

Very comfortable, well appointed, good sized quiet room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Fish and Chips for dinner were exceptional, and the breakfast was good too. I particularly liked how quiet the room was - for a good night's sleep.

Cons:

The reception area was being decorated so there was some disruption. I couldn't get a telephone signal in the hotel and it was pouring with rain outside. It would be nice to have some real ale in the bar as befits a countryside "Inn"

Pros:

Good size car park. It was very clean even though is getting done up.

Cons:

Stopped serving food at 7.30, what's all that about. I drove 5.5hrs from one job to another and got there at 8.30 just to be told no food. There isn't anything in walking distance either, no takeaways allowed.

Served it purpose
Pros:

The staff were lovely, the rooms were comfortable..
We stayed 2 nights as booked a night with hotel separately.

Cons:

The breakfast was cold, the tray the cups were on was dirty and all the pots were left on the table at breakfast. So if you had cereal and cooked breakfast nothing was cleared away. Some of the crockery was badly chipped too.
The toilet seat in our room needs attention, I did mention this.
They were renovating and we weren’t advised at point of booking. I was worried about my husband slipping as he isn’t firm on his feet.
