Tewinbury Farm Hotel

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.

Tewinbury Farm is a lovely, spacious place set in beautiful surroundings. There are several car parks on site, although only the main car park is clearly signposted, which could be improved. The entire property is very clean and well maintained, and the names of the rooms are a nice, quirky touch.

The food was lovely, and breakfast was very good — although the breakfast area is quite small, there is a wide variety of choices available. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and polite throughout our stay, which made the experience even better.

I was lucky to have a room just behind reception (The Gardener), which meant a very short walk to breakfast. Some rooms are much further away, and I’ve been told it can take up to 15 minutes to walk there. That said, the walk sounds pleasant in spring and summer as it goes past the lake and scenic areas. In winter, however, parts of the pathway are not well lit — even near my room there was a noticeably dark patch.

The room itself was clean, comfortable, and ideal for two people. The bed and pillows were soft and comfortable, and the bathroom had a modern design. There was a good selection of teas and coffees. Although the windows were not double-glazed, the room didn’t feel cold at all — in fact, it was warm enough that we turned the air conditioning on.

Waking up in the morning was a highlight, as our room and front door faced an open field, making sunrise and sunset views really enjoyable. In the evening it does get completely dark, but that’s expected given the rural location.

Overall, a very good stay. Clean, comfortable, great food, friendly staff, and lovely scenery — I would definitely recommend it.

Stayed 2 nights for our wedding. Hog roast was fantastic. Service impeccable. Rooms were a high standard, clean our hot tub was fabulous.

"Spacious room" quite adequate space, very nice decor and furnishing, great bathroom and facilities. Very good breakfast. Stayed as part of a wedding party.It's an out-of-the-way

our 1st trip to Tewinbury Farm, the NYE night event was far too cold due to weather conditions and the heating offered insufficent, so be prepared if the same applies next year, however, couldn't fault Tewinbury Farm, lovely Location and great amenities - will definately return (in the Summer)

We were really looking forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve in the Apres Ski Bar with friends but had to leave at 10pm as it was anything but an Apres Ski Bar! It was freezing!! Plus the band didn’t start playing till 10pm as we were leaving. So spent hours shivering and trying to stay warm. Would not be booking again as it ruined our New Year’s celebrations.

We love Tewinbury Farm. It’s a beautiful venue, well run, and usually a safe bet. Unfortunately, New Year’s Eve in The Farmyard Barn was less “festive countdown” and more “Arctic endurance test”.

The event started at 7:30pm, but what wasn’t made clear at booking was that this was essentially an open barn with fire pits dotted around the room. Heating was technically “pumped in”, but as useful as a candle heating a cathedral.

Everyone was absolutely freezing, guests, bar staff, and even the band, who looked like they were playing purely for survival.

A DJ and band were advertised, no DJ was present when I left, the band was actually decent once they got going, but they didn’t start until beyond 9pm, and there was very little atmosphere before then. Just after 10pm, a noticeable number of people had already given up and gone home. We held out until just after 11:30pm before accepting defeat and retreating to the warmth of a taxi to get the circulation and feeling back in our legs.

We were offered a complimentary Budweiser or Prosecco at the start (possibly as a warming aid?), but couldn’t buy any more Budweiser afterwards

Drinks from the bar were served in plastic glasses, that’s not cool for Guinness or Prosecco. My fiancé cleverly kept hold of the Prosecco glass given on arrival but my friend couldn’t suffer his favourite pint in a flexi plastic pint glass.

At £40 per person, it felt like a bit of a rip-off, especially given that there was no indication this was effectively an outdoor event.

Ironically, the highlight of the night was the trip to the toilets, where people gathered not out of necessity, but to defrost. Every toilet conversation revolved around the same topic: “How cold are you?”

In summary: lovely venue, good band, poor planning. If you’re hosting a winter event in an open barn, guests need very clear expectations, or thermal underwear included in the ticket price.!

The venue does have other rooms, which appeared to be vacant, this party could have been relocated when the weather forecast was known.

Hats off to the team who endured the weather and worked through the New Year

We’ll happily return to Tewinbury Farm… just not to celebrate New Year’s Eve unless dressed like we’re climbing Everest.

🥶🎉

We love staying at Tewin. The rooms are so cozy and are very well kept. The breakfast is amazing, and the staff are lovely!
