Hidden Gem in Rural Wiltshire.
Pros:

Staff very welcoming and our room very comfortable - biggest bed I've every slept in.
Great to see a restaurant so full, especially in such a rural area, but you can understand why - the food was excellent with service to match.
Breakfast in the attached Coach House was substantial and set us up well for our Garden Tour at nearby Bowood House.
An all-round hidden gem which deserves and appears to be doing very well. Well done.

Cons:

Nothing at all. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.

Excellent
Pros:

Decor , food, staff all around lovely hotel

Cons:

Only things id point out was the check out time being 10.30am and breakfast being 9am - 10.30am.
Ideally checkout should be 11am. This gives guests a chance to get up and enjoy breakfast.

Perfect for an out of town stay.
Pros:

Excellent food, great hosts, lovely rooms.
An older property so very boutique, don’t expect a chain hotel type room.

A jewel of.a.place hiding in plain sight
Pros:

The welcome was friendly and check in efficient. The room was delightful - room 3. The evening meal was simply delicious and very fairly priced. Breakfast was tasty and filling and all you needed. Good quality bacon. The little shop had lots to tempt for early Xmas presents too. We wish the business all the best, will recommend to everyone we know and will be back soon.

The Duke Hotel
Pros:

Lovely owners, all staff very accommodating and friendly. Lovely decor giving that touch of decadence. Food was delicious, would be nice to have vegetables to accompany dishes. Ideal place to explore the Cotswolds. Would definitely stay again.
