Tewinbury Farm Hotel

I stayed two nights. Service was horrible--reception and restaurant service. I had to ask several times for a menu, wait to be seated, wait for staff to bring the bill, etc. There seemed to be a large event while I was there and staff was no where to be found. It appeared that staff where prioritized for the event. I found blood stains on the linens. Reception asked me to point the stains out prior to changing the linens. Overall, the hospitality was very lacking compared to other places I have stayed during this trip.

We stayed two nights over Easter weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We were five adults in two standard rooms plus a woodland hut. Accommodation was very good. We had dinner in The Cowshed restaurant - food and service were excellent. Being Easter, there were many families with young children, so the Saturday morning breakfast was not the most relaxing, but we were happy with it. There were wedding celebrations going on, but we were not disturbed. There’s plenty to do - good walks, activities for children. We walked to tennis courts locally in Tewin. The place had a good vibe and was well run with good staff. Plenty of parking. Would recommend.

We had an excellent time at this venue for my daughters wedding. The food was wonderful. We had roast beef which was absolutely delicious. The rooms were comfortable the beds extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were luxurious with excellent showers.

Pros
1. Lots of walking routes
2. Able to feed the alpacas
3. The properties are well kept and well presented
4. Staff are friendly

Cons
1. You have to book well in advance to secure a lunch or dinner table even if you’re staying there as a guest
2. The food was not as tasty as expected given it is farm to fork. The pork belly was very difficult to cut through

We found this quite by chance when looking for a dog friendly place to stay. It’s very near to us but was an out of this world experience! It is a spotless, clean and well maintained vast space with shepherd huts, woodland huts and garden rooms, dogs have an abundance of walks to go on, kids have a beautiful play park, animals to look at and the view is simply stunning. There are lots of places to eat, an area outside with sofas, four wood burners and the most delicious homemade pizzas. The stable bar had a singer who was unbelievable. Everyone who works there falls over themselves to help you. The food in the stable bar was exceptional as well as the choices of wine and drinks. The river, the accommodation that is beautiful and feels luxurious. I forgot the breakfast, buffet style with continuous hot food, pastries and continental style food available too with dietary considered options also. I just cannot recommend Tewinbury highly enough.

Came to stay for 2 nights for my son’s wedding. Paid for a room which I thought included a separate living area but this wasn’t the case. Although the room was lovely , it wasn’t value for the money I paid . Food nice but very pricey! Pretty venue and lovely staff

Fantastic location for an intimate wedding. Setting for wedding was perfect, rooms well appointed including air conditioning. Breakfast was one of the best we have had anywhere. Staff helpful throughout. Definitely would go back.

Wonderful stay at Tewinbury for a 95th birthday party. The room was gorgeous with lovely colours, HUGE and very comfortable bed. The best hot drinks station I’ve ever seen (including many 5* hotels I’ve stayed). Great breakfast and pleasant, professional, speedy service. We will come again I’m sure.

It's such a shame as location is lovely, but service is really poorly. Disappointed as prices are high and yet you're left waiting ages for anyone to take your order and then to actually be served. Ordered glass of prosecco which came after 20 min and glass was half full!

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary weekend in a lake hut. I rarely use the word perfect but its the only way to describe this trip from beginning to end. The lake hut was stunning fitted with every mod con and more you could think of. We really didnt even want to venture out but you must. The grounds are gorgeous. We found so many little nooks and crannys to explore. We are in the Cowshed. The chef and staff were uber helpful adapting the meal to suit our taste. After a quick trip to the bar in the most beautiful converted barn. Every detail has been thought of. Every touch perfect. Thank you Tewinbury for the best weekend. We will be back,

Not the relaxing stay expected by the website description when there’s a party or event.

‘Just bring yourself and we’ll take care of the rest’ is some claim. We were looking forward to this 3 night stay for months for some rest from the big smoke. Sadly it did not work out and we left after one night.

Very poor check in, cold staff member who did neither welcome nor explain anything apart from the room we were allocated.

By 6pm on the second night we could tell a party was on in the barn 10 metres from our room. At 7pm the loud pumping music started and lairy folk walking past our window. We asked reception what time it would finish and were told to accept after midnight and that it was made clear in the website and our booking that parties happen. This was neither clear nor an acceptable excuse. With a child a 1am bedtime is not excusable. We rushedly left and paid for one night. Staff seemed uncaring about the impact.

San was fantastic though, the only member of staff who cared and helped us to feel welcome. It would have been a different experience if we could have actually stayed as planned.

Had a lovely couple of days at Tewinbury recently. My room was cosy and comfortable with everything I needed for my stay. The food was absolutely delicious, we had breakfast at the Granary Restaurant with very generous portions and the quality was excellent. Dinner in the Courtyard Restaurant was to a very high standard. There are lovely walks nearby with alpacas, sheep and pigs and childrens activities. Throughout our stay the staff were so friendly and helpful we will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Excellent location for my business trip, don't be put off if your trip is for leisure purposes though, this was a excellent location for a Family trip if your visiting the area, with a quality stay with great facilities & Customer Service.

I met friends for lunch in The Granary restaurant. This is not my first visit and unfortunately the service has been the same most times. We were sat down, asked for our drinks order. Two of us asked for lemonade and lime one without ice. The drinks came, it was soda and lime and both had ice. They took them away, brought back lemonade and no ice in either. We just kept those, next one friend asked what exactly was in the Spanish omlettte "well eggs obviously" was the answer! We ordered and her omlettte arrived. It was obviously pre prepared in a large tray as it was a lump of cubed eggs, looked like a cake. When they cleared the plates no one asked if the food was OK, with the amount of food left it wasn't.
We weren't offered dessert or coffee. We were there 2hrs, on asking for the bill we were asked if you didn't want anything else! Also while there a couple had a very yappy dog who no one told to be quiet apart from other diners. The staff didn't ask them to stop it out they could have asked them to sit outside under the heaters. It was very annoying. Other times we have been staff have huffed at us if we ask for things, so this time we decided to just go with the bad service. We will not be returning. I have tried calling to let them know, it seems to go no further than reception.

Had a lovely overnight stay just half an hour away. The farm is delightful but better in the summer. Unfortunately it rained a lot but we spent hours in the Granary coffee shop playing a game! The room in the new block was lovely very authentic, nice and quiet! The Cowshed restaurant was excellent, and also served a great breakfast. All staff extremely helpful.

We got married at Tewinbury in November 2025. The barn, grounds and setting are genuinely lovely, the food was delicious, and the ceremony itself went as perfectly as can be. Our guests had a very enjoyable evening overall, and on the surface, it was a beautiful wedding day.

Unfortunately, the way the day was handled by the operations team left a very sour feeling, and that ultimately overshadows what should have been a seamless, well-coordinated event, especially given the amount we spent.

After the ceremony and outdoor photos, we encountered significant issues that resulted in our wedding breakfast being delayed by well over an hour.
There was a serious lack of communication and visibility from the coordinator throughout this period, and getting an answer from staff about what was happening was near impossible. We paused indoor photos because we believed the meal was imminent as per the order of the day, only to slowly realise as time went on with no update that we were facing a significant delay to the wedding breakfast and subsequent events of the day. Had we known, we could at least have taken more family and group photos that were planned for after the meal, something we therefore missed out on entirely and can never get back. I would gladly pay thousands to have those official photos of friends and family we lost due to this and to not have had my wife cry on our wedding day due to the delays caused by Tewinbury’s confusion and lack of communication on the day itself.

The delay had subsequent knock-on effects:
• We lost a full paid hour of our DJ and externally hired photo booth
• Our photographer had to stay later than agreed to capture key moments
• Cake cutting and first dance were rushed
• Some guests had to leave before seeing these moments at all

Table layout and setup were another major issue. Despite providing a floor plan some weeks in advance and discussing the layout with the sales team both on email and in person, tables were not laid out as discussed, resulting in close family being placed far away from us and some tables being very cramped. On the day, the coordinator told us there were issues accessing the PDF, which raised serious concerns about preparation. Ultimately, there was lack of clarity around the layout prior to the day, and if there was any confusion from Tewinbury’s side about our layout prior to the day, this was not raised with us to make sure they got things correct.

There were numerous smaller, albeit still noticeable and important to my wife and I, operational issues throughout the day, including:
• Alcoholic shots being placed at tables with children
• Items clearly labelled and provided for the day being left in cupboards
• Centrepieces set up incorrectly, which the bride had to try to correct during photos
• Guests having to ask for desserts that hadn’t been served
• A table for glow sticks and song requests never being set up as planned
• Inconsistent and contradictory information from staff

One of the most concerning of all was my wife being served a breakfast platter containing pineapple on the morning of the wedding, despite a clearly stated allergy. This should never happen in the first place but clearly sets a bad tone from the beginning of the day and raised anxiety on an already anxious day, and the response to this was deeply disappointing.

We feel that the responses received to our feedback and concerns have only exacerbated our frustrations. Several points were dismissed, contradicted, or just left unanswered. We feel there was a lack of empathy for how upsetting these issues were on such an important day, and we were left with a strong impression of a disconnect between what is promised during the sales process and what the operations team can actually deliver.

To be clear, this is obviously a beautiful venue with great food and a big reputation that I’m sure won’t be hampered by our review. But we planned this for 2 whole years, and it felt like the attitude of the team making it a reality on the day was to turn up and wing it, and none of the responses received have made us feel otherwise. I would have loved to have been leaving a 5* review, but the reality is that we feel some sadness when we think about parts of our wedding day

The staff at Tewinbury Farm have thought of everything to ensure that you have a comfortable stay, from fresh milk in the fridge to pillow spray to ensure a good night’s sleep. Food and service is excellent. We have been coming since we got married here 25 years ago, and every year we see improvements to the facilities as the business has evolved over the years. Long may it continue!

Stayed at Tewinbury Farm Hotel last weekend with friends for my 60th birthday. Had the best time. The rooms and restaurant were perfect. Had the Afternoon Tea which was delicious, along with dinner and the buffet breakfast. It was also lovely sitting outside on the sofas under the canopy with the heaters and twinkling lights. A special mention to all the staff. From booking in at Reception to every meal/drink, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again!

We stayed at Tewinbury for our anniversary weekend. The room and our meal at the Cow Shed were superb. The staff throughout the hotel were all so professional and helpful. Such a beautiful country retreat!

We had a brilliant Sunday roast today with family friends today. Service from “Callum” was top notch. Beef was amazing, all food served nice and hot, plenty of veg and lovely gravy and Yorkshire. The place was full which speaks for itself. Great value in my opinion. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU TEWINBURY TEAM.
