Good Location for visiting Cirencester

This hotel shouldnt be presented as located in Cirencester. It is not in Cirencester. It is in South Cerny which was quite a surprise for us qhen we arrived.

gutes Frühstück, freundliches Personal
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück was frisch zubereitet wurde, sehr gute Parkmöglichkeiten. Abends konnte man sehr gut Abendessen im Pub erhalten. Ideale Lage um die Cotswolds zu entdecken.

Cons:

Wir hatten Zimmer no 6. Die Dusche war àusserst klein und an der Wand befand sich Schimmel, meiner Meinung nach. Die Dusche hat auch nach Schimmel gerochen. Der Teppichboden im Zimmer hatte mehrere Flecken, da es ein heller Teppich war sieht man natürlich auch die Flecken. Man muss sich ausserdem bewusst sein, dass in dieser Unterkunft kein Fahrstuhl ist und dass die Treppen relativ steil sind.

Nice place, fairly local to Cirencester. Nice spacious room.
Pros:

Nice hotel, free parking although the car park was crowded when we arrived, we managed to move our car a few hours later. Room was very spacious, steep stairs so not very good if unsteady on feet. Bed very comfy, nice bathroom. Nice pub/restaurant. Location a few miles out of Cirencester where we visited on the way down. Food was lovely in the evening, very tasty and nicely presented. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Nice choice of coffee with breakfast.

Cons:

Breakfast could have had a little more choice fresh fruit, granola, more choice on fruit for yoghurt as a single bowl of mixed berries only. Poached eggs were well overdone and were more like hard boiled eggs when you cut into them.

Other than that, nothing else.
