Excellent stay, will definitely be back and would recommend.
Pros:

Location was brilliant, all the staff were friendly and professional. The rooms are tastefully decorated and in keeping with the olde worlde style of the building. Spacious and great shower/bathroom. The hospitality tray included very good choices and lots of milks. The restaurant and bars all serve great food. The spa and swimming pool etc. are very nice. The carprks are very spacious. The special James Martin lunch event we attended was absolutely fantastic.

Cons:

Pillows were comfortable, but a bit flat compared to those we normally use.
Rooms were warm but this was due to the very hot weather, the old structure of the hotel, and the fan that was provided in the room was excellent.
We still slept really well.

Great hotel for a romantic couples weekend
Pros:

The afternoon tea was fantastic and the hotel facilities are brilliant. The pool is also very unexpected given the village location but is great!

Co op beef burgers
Pros:

Love this place for sitting in the court yard and enjoying the food . Unfortunately on our last visit whilst waiting for our drinks we saw a chef walk through the bar holding two packets of co op beef burgers . We were going to order food obviously we decided not too. These would cost a few pounds each and the lygon is charging £24 for a single burger and fries . Think it’s absolute diabolical taking advantage of tourists and locals a like .

Good but would go elsewhere for breakfast.
Pros:

Room was nice, only issue looked to be an old leak above the shower which looked awful in the bathroom (room 73).

Service was very good throughout the stay.

Breakfast not great unfortunately. Poached eggs overcooked and scrambled eggs were delivered on a single slice of toast which did seem a tad stale.

We went to the spa and were impressed, very clean and a nice place to relax.

We would definitely stay again, but would go somewhere else for breakfast unfortunately.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Pretty place. Nice old style communal rooms. Friendly staff. Comfortable room. Nice spa perk. Great location.

Cons:

The breakfast wasn’t the best. The cooked to order food was a bit disappointing. On the first day my toast was overdone and on the second day the porridge was quite dry rather than creamy. Lack of very fresh tasting options.

Will be back!
Pros:

The location is perfect and is 15-20 min drive from every cool spot in the Cotswolds.
The building is dreamy.

Cons:

I liked everything but an outdoor swimming pool in the 3rd garden would be a lovely idea :)

Service was average
Pros:

Always seem to have average service whenever we visit.

Staff member seemed rather grumpy to begin with but then non stop chatting and talking about previous guests who visited the hotel which wasn’t appropriate or professional. We clearly wanted to relax and enjoy but the chatter was too much.

Also, the cold drink was delivered before the hot drink which didn’t make any sense.

Fantastic soa at the Lygon Arms
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with friendly and professional staff. Delicious meal in the grill. The stand out experience was my visit to the spa. Lucy, my therapist, gave me a wonderful facial. I felt cared for and indulged. I can't wait to come back.

Expensive and disappointing
Pros:

Breakfast was disappointing. Scrambled eggs tasted disgusting. Avocado on toast consisted of a thin sliver of avocado on bare toast

Cons:

Room looked tired and was quite cramped. The plug in the sink in bathroom did not work properly.
