Pros:

The location, staff and Lodge where the social activities took place were amazing. The staff couldn’t have been more professional, friendly and helpful.
The main comment we had that was for the price, we felt the room was a little small and would have preferred a larger bed too.

Cons:

The size of the bed

Nice stay but over priced for the experience
Pros:

Great location, good views, all the little touches

Cons:

Very expensive for a slightly underwhelming experience - a bit too resort-like rather than exclusive / boutique hotel.

À éviter
Pros:

La vue… mais il me semble que très peu de chambres en profitent.

Cons:

On dirait un centre de loisir… Le parc est immense et nécessite de parcourir une très longue route pleine de dos d’âne qui sont fort pénibles Globalement c’est horriblement cher par rapport aux prestations J’ai réservé deux chambres qui étaient situées dans deux bâtiments fort éloignés. Toutes deux étaient situées au rez-de-chaussée face à des haies. L’une des deux était vraiment minuscule. Le petit déjeuner est correct sans plus Le dîner n’est vraiment pas bon

Pros:

Sehr weitläufige und landschaftlich reizvolle Anlage, gemütliche Zimmer und super Frühstück. Tolle Areas zum relaxen.

Cons:

Wir mögen Hunde sehr gern. Das Hotel war aber mit sehr vielen Hundebesitzern gefüllt und leider einige Hunde(besitzer) waren nicht so gut erzogen ;-)

Pros:

The hotel, the facilities and the service are very good.

Cons:

The mattress was a bit hard.
The estate was quite hilly, and also the surroundings, and there were no path for people to walk on the side of the roads.

Tranquil & gorgeous service!
Pros:

Everything was so clean, we loved the little details we found around the estate. The sweet jars, the milk bottles, the doggie treats and the wellies! The staff were so welcoming! The lemonade on arrival was such a treat. We loved that dogs were welcome.

Cons:

The only thing I would say is it would have been nice to be shown to your room. We got quite lost trying to find reception also. The directions were “the fish” this way then all of sudden the fish disappeared and the accommodation was split into different names. We called reception after a while and they kindly guided us to the lodge where you check in and retrieve your key.

Splendida posizione da cui godere della natura con massimo comfort
Pros:

Splendida posizione che si gode molto bene dal edificio Coach House e le camere con terrazza. Immerso nel verde (in questi giorni di agosto più oro perché molto secco). Camera curata e confortevole, ottimo il letto, i cuscini e la morbidezza di lenzuola e asciugamani. Ottimi prodotti da toilette e geniale la crema per rinfrescare le gambe. Belle le zone comuni, lounge e ristorante. Fantastica posizione per fare trekking o visitare in pochi minuti di auto i villaggi del Cotswold. Personale premuroso e affabile ci ha agevolato con la richiesta di una doccia a pavimento.

Cons:

Piccolo dettaglio per un amante del espresso, la macchina espresso presente in camera non è adeguata al livello del resto ed anche la selezione di capsule di caffè.

Wow
Pros:

Absolutely AMAZING stay in the hide away huts at the Fish Hotel. From the moment you walk into reception it's clean and fresh. There are multiple relaxation areas with plenty of seating where you never feel crowded or squashed.
The hut itself was amazing and really cute. We walked into a cozy seating area. Nice touch the soft lighting was on and the radio playing giving an immediate warm welcome feeling. There was a shower room, which for the type of hut I must say the shower was awesome and quite powerful. Coupled with gorgeous good quality shower products.
The complementary mini fridge was stocked well and replaced daily and really appreciated the fresh mini bottles of milk and soya. Good touch!.
The bedroom area was actually quite spacious with a very comfy double bed and wow, a gorgeous roll top bath with soft lighting overlooking the outside wooded area. Again, quality bath products, robes and really soft thick, white towels. Then the hot tub area. LOVED this outside space. Again towels and robes provided but most importantly the 'buzz for booze" button reachable from inside the hot tub. There was a little confusion as to what drinks were actually available in the hot tub, but this was rectified by the on duty manager with exceptional first class service. Maybe a QR code would be helpful so clarity on drinks service is clear from the start.
The overall cleanliness of the hut was exceptional, and I simply cannot fault any aspect.
The communal areas as I said are vast. There are several veranda's to relax with amazing views of the grounds. All areas were spotless and the staff are friendly, professional and attentive without being over the top.
Food in the restaurant was very nice. We ate here and at the neighbor Dormey Hotel which I believe is linked to the fish hotel, both offering really good service and food options. We also walked into Broadway and ate at the Coach House Indian restaurant which I really do recommend. The Deli in Broadway served amazing Ploughman's lunch!
Overall, we had a Fantastic time here and cannot recommend The Fish -Specifically the hide away hut enough. Can not wait to return later this year.
