Hyll Hotel

Beautiful setting, lovely room, comfy bed, delicious food, attentive staff, couldn’t fault it

An ongoing transformation to a chic but comfortable and characterful hotel and contemporary quality restaurant. All staff are pleasant, professional and helpful from the moment of arrival and the warm and efficient welcome provided by Lara. All three lounges are sumptuously furnished, each with well tended open fires creating a cosy focal point. Dinner was good, efficiently served and of respectable proportions. Location, views and gardens a delight. The only negatives are that dogs should not in our view be allowed in what is a nice restaurant on the basis of hygiene, distraction and disruption for the majority and maybe serving staff could be attired to suit the classy venue and denim clad guests 'persuaded' to do likewise.

What a joy!

We had a wonderful stay at Hyll and from start to finish everything was perfect.

All of the staff was exceptional, Jenny from the bar area was so fabulous and friendly, and everyone was so helpful, happy to chat and no one seemed rushed.

Dinner in the restaurant was a delight along with the various rooms pre and post for drinks in front of the log fire from the excellent wine list.

We will definitely return at some stage, highly recommend.

Quite possibly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, the vibe, the room, even the scent! Dinner was amazing, as was the red wine!
Will be coming back!

My goodness- what a delight this place is. Beautiful hotel. The food and drinks are incredible. The staff are so helpful and welcoming. It’s like a home away from home, only much more luxurious. Wonderful stay. Highly recommend. Ps. Every room smells delicious.

My wife booked a lovely birthday dinner at the Hyll Hotel. This was our first visit and we were greeted by a charming chap (sorry, name escapes me) who settled us down into one of the fabulous lounges and and presented us the food and drinks menu. A couple of cocktails later, we were taken to the restaurant where we enjoyed a fabulous meal. After that, we chilled in another lounge where we played a couple of vinyl records! A very nice touch.
The whole experience was 10/10.

We had a courtyard room 15. The room was stifling hot on arrival and did not cool off despite opening the windows. There is no air conditioning and consequently we had a poor nights sleep. The room itself was dark and dismal with inadequate lighting to read comfortably in bed. Room furniture was dark and seemed to be made from heavy solid blocks of wood. There is not a single drawer in either the room or the bathroom. Bathroom is minimalistic with a shower that does not supply enough water. Externally there is a large amount of building work and walking from restaurant to our room involved negotiating a very uneven pathway with lights in your face rather than illuminating the ground. Altogether very poor with designs features which are a comedy of errors. Dinner was mediocre. The checkout billing was initial opaque and wrong. The only redeeming feature was an excellent breakfast.
We stayed one night and booked into nearby Billesley Manor the next night. This hotel is the polar opposite to Hyll and does almost every thing right.

We recently stayed at the newly opened HYLL hotel and it was lovely and tranquil. I do think it will be a perfect little getaway once it is fully up and running. Currently it has building works with construction vehicles laying across the gardens and some of the garden is dug up which is a shame. The only other issue is bags of dog poo at the front and rear doors which need to either be cleaned or have a bin for them. However it is still lovely has some incredible cosy rooms with fires, art and board games and the food is divine! I will come back!

My husband surprised me with a Valentine’s romantic getaway at this hotel, and it was such a lovely experience. We felt very lucky to stay here.

The service was excellent, staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The food was also very nice, well prepared, and enjoyable, which really added to the whole experience.

It was a relaxing and romantic break, perfect for couples looking to spend quality time together. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

We stayed here last Friday with friends and honestly couldn’t have loved it more. It’s the most gorgeous country retreat — relaxed, stylish, and welcoming in a way that instantly makes you feel at home.

Our room was stunning, with beautiful design details and thoughtful touches everywhere you looked. Dinner was exceptional: scallops to start, halibut for main, and a cheese board followed by the chocolate mousse torte — every course was delicious and perfectly judged. Afterwards, drinks in the lounge by the record player was such a special touch and really summed up the atmosphere: cosy, calm, and effortlessly cool.

Breakfast the next morning was just as wonderful — unhurried and relaxed, like staying in a very chic friend’s house. The eggs Florentine were perfect, and the muesli pot with honey from their own on-site bees was such a lovely detail.

The whole place feels warm, thoughtful, and beautifully designed. I am now completely obsessed with the Hyll aesthetic — I want my house to look like this — and we’re already planning our next visit. One of those places you want to return to again and again.

Absolutely loved the hotel from start to finish. The building is beautiful, the room was lovely and the food was fantastic. Upon arrival, Lara the receptionist was attentive and friendly and showed us to our room. Radio 3 was playing in the background and every detail in the room was considered and on brand. We sat in the lounge and had drinks and snacks by the fire after arriving with our friends, before getting ready for supper. I had scallops and the spatchcock poussin then we shared the cheeseboard and the baklava tart for dessert before settling down in the snug with a few gin and tonics and a record on. The bed was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious.

The group thoroughly enjoyed their stay and wouldn’t hesitate in coming back. Thanks to everyone at HYLL for such a lovely and relaxing stay!

First thanks to the staff for a fabulous weekend, from owner Paul making sure we were ok while waiting to check in through to all the staff. We were a group of 6 and all commented on how friendly and helpful everyone was. Examples were bringing lost objects to us, personalising wine choice, great service.
The hotel is a delight, we enjoyed all the lounges and restaurant, food great and a very good choice of drinks. Chilled water in hall was appreciated.
Bedrooms quirky and comfortable.

A excellent 4 night stay booked via secret escapes.
We stayed on a bed, breakfast and evening meal basis. Great quality and selection of foods on the menu.
All staff amazing however big shout out to Bella on check in for our free upgrade due to the building work ( we didn’t know this was being carried out when we booked) both Rob/ert in the restaurants and bar area as-well as Steph. The staff can’t do enough for you.
We were privileged to met the owner while chilling out in one of three open fire lounges a few days into our break Paul what a lovely guy.
We socialised with several couples whilst we stayed which was lovely to share a drink and conversations so openly and in such a comfy environment. Thank you Autumn the dog and owners Laura and Simon.
Loved the fact you could chill out in one of the lounges any time of day with there great selection of new books to borrow, board games or even the origami. We used the record player to play some old tunes too. Would love some newer tunes to the collection too.
Weather wasn’t great had a quick look at the front of the manor very impressive grounds and would be lovely on a nice day relaxing with a cocktail or two.
Room was a courtyard comfy with lounge no 23 was a lovely upgrade.
Loved seperate lounge area. Bathroom with double sinks,shower and bath.Main room consisted of dressing table, settee fridge, radio, tv,coffee machine, homemade biscuits daily and the superking bed and bedding just Zzzzzzzzz.
Downsides/ in the middle of nowhere however we liked the remoteness
No chest of drawers for undies socks , folded clothes.
Hooks in bathroom for robes would be an advantage.
Amazing stay.

Hyll is an incredibly special place. We spent just one night there & were blown away. The setting is simply perfect-overlooking the green countryside and the perfect garden for a sunset.

Everything in the hotel is geared at you enjoying the most relaxing time possible from the moment you walk in. The smells, the lighting, the music. The hotel has three lounges with roaring fires in winter, light reading or puzzles to do. There’s an LP room to play vinyls and increase your relaxation.

The bedroom encapsulates tranquility with the comfiest of huge beds, beautiful views and a stunning stand-alone, Victorian style bathtub. Even the kettle is a slow-pour kettle for a relaxing brew. Perfection.

Dinner was a delight with exceptional service. Starter and main in the beautiful ambient restaurant and dessert in the lounge by the fire.

Close to beautiful villages like Chipping Campden if you wish to venture out - although that’s unlikely.

Serenity!

Truly fabulous stay at The Hyll, Charingworth. Everything was first class.
Serene atmosphere - relaxing.
Room was superb! lovely comfortable mattress and pillows, beautiful, crisp, immaculate bed linen. Bathroom was stylish - shower was amazing.
Food at dinner and breakfast was 5 star - crockery/cutlery, food quality, temperature of food, presentation, service - all excellent.

THANK YOU.

We loved our one night stay at Hyll. A short pre-Christmas get away and it could not have been better. Lovely room that was small but very well designed. We had the dog with us and she was made very welcome. We had supper and the food was fantastic, inventive and delicious. Breakfast equally good. Would come back, but will go for a larger room.

When we recently heard Charingworth Manor had changed hands we excitedly booked for dinner with friends. The old hotel is unrecognisable! Hyll’s interior design is fabulous. Big squidgy sofa with a roaring fire for drinks then ultra modern, beautiful restaurant and bar for dinner. The staff were very friendly, not quite 5 star but their friendly demeanour made up for it.

The glasses, cutlery and crockery were also really good quality; I think a wine glass can make or break the wine.

Cocktails and mocktails were very good as was the wine we chose. The food was ‘OK’, but I was expecting more based on the prices and decor. Scallops were over cooked and over salted. Poussin was cooked nicely, but bashed potatoes were dry and powdery without much taste. Husband’s steak was very small for £38 and not cooked to perfection. Chocolate torte was the star of the meal.

The restaurant was very quiet for this time of year with only a handful of tables occupied. We guessed this was maybe because the marketing wasn’t in full swing yet? There was talk of a soirée to introduce local people which we thought would be a great idea.

There were a few other things that could have helped our experience: more obvious signage for the main entrance, dinner menus offered in the lounge whilst having drinks (we had to ask for them and then only provided with two between four), a separate wine list with introduction to the cellar and descriptions of wines (the wine is expensive but the list is buried in the bar menu with no descriptions).

Overall, we really enjoyed the Hyll experience and wish them every success. Hopefully the hotel and restaurant will be a great addition to the local community.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hyll, so much so that it will now become a Christmas tradition. The atmosphere in the hotel was amazing and was created by the staff with how accommodating they are. To be honest it was the staff that made the whole stay even better than it was already and a special mention the the girls on reception Lara, Sacha and Djoney who were extremely friendly and polite, but the main aspect that stuck with me was how helpful they were. Also the ladies in the restaurant Jenny and Zoe were very nice.

Hyll also captured the Christmas spirit perfectly with the decor of the hotel and they really put a lot of effort into it which made the stay feel even more relaxing. It takes a lot for me to get in the Christmas spirit, but I definitely felt it here.

The interior of the hotel and rooms has that Scandi vibe which I loved and I booked the Courtyard Cozy Room with lounge which was a large suite. The rooms are amazing and very relaxing and they have captured that feel brilliantly.

Overall the hotel is aesthetically pleasing in an amazing with the setting, with a long drive leading up to the hotel. I live close by so I’ll definitely be there more often whether it’s just ti dine out or stay again.

So pleased I found this place. It’s amazing

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful stay here last weekend. It's one of those places, that, from the minute you pull up, you relax! Really gorgeous surroundings, with a warm and cosy feel in the main house and rooms. The room felt super luxurious for such an affordable cost and the service throughout our stay was top level. Special shout out to Jenny - you were amazing and I would come back just to chat to you! We also had such a delicious meal on the evening in the restaurant - and almost had the place to ourselves. It was just so calming. Could not recommend this idyllic hotel more if you want a very relaxing Cotswolds retreat. We will be back!

We booked Hyll for a one night stay in November, it is a really lovely place. The room was across the court yard and although it was lovely there were just a couple of small issues we found. The room is very dimly lit with no big light available. The coffee & tea making facilities are really lovely but I had to use my mobile torch to make the coffee as the corner was extremely dark & I couldn't see what I was doing.

The bathroom was nice but didn't have a mirror which i found odd and there were no drawers of any kind in the room.

We ate in the restaurant on the evening and the food did not disappoint, it was really fantastic! If we lived locally I would definitely eat there often.

Breakfast again was great, with really good choices, for me as a vegetarian there was lots of choices of hot breakfasts & I would say it was one of the best breakfasts we have eaten in all the times we have been away!

We would definitely return to stay here again.
