Pros:

Brilliant location, couldn't be more central and easy parking. The hotel and restaurant both 10/10

Cons:

The only issue we had was that we didn't have breakfast included and would of if we booked direct at the same price. It was also extremely hot (around 28 degrees) and there is no air con only fans.. not a massive issue but worth keeping in mind depending on when you are going

SUCH a lovely and clean stay in the loveliest Cotswolds' town.
Pros:

The room was clean and well organized and well-stocked. The fixtures were new and in working condition. There was plenty of space for 2 people. Thankfully the windows opened with fresh air while still safe. We visited during the warm months and the fan was helpful. All staff were cheerful and attentive.

Cons:

Nothing the staff or hotel could adjust- it was just louder than necessary neighbors walking past.

Wonderful
Pros:

I really loved how the common spaces were curated, it felt extremely inviting and comfortable. The staff was fantastic and the back garden was just the cherry on top.

Cons:

Since it was warm, air-conditioning could have been helpful, but I understand it’s an old building.
