Pros:

Breakfast and supper. the room was charming.

Cons:

A couple of the wait staff at supper time were rather abrupt and when we asked for the water to be replenished the girl just shrugged and never did anything about it. Another member of staff was very helpful and dealt with the issue.
We were charged for two bottles of a more expensive wine with supper when we in fact only had one. This was dealt with, but in such a way that made us feel very uncomfortable. My husband had to produce the empty bottle from our room to prove the type of wine we had. At no point did the receptionist apologise for the mistake. He was on the point of being rude.

Probably won't return
Pros:

Most of the staff were very friendly and the grounds are lovely. Very comfy bed and luxury bedding. It's in a great location and parking is easy. Nice toiletries in the bathroom and a good hairdryer wgich was nice to see. The eggs at breakfast were perfectly cooked and overall had a great stay.

Cons:

The guy on reception was a bit terse and he never offered me and my 81 year old mum any help getting our suitcases up 2 flights of stairs either on arrival or departure. The ceilings are low my mum who is 4ft 11 kept banging her head on the beams. The rest of the food on the breakfast was cheap quality (sausages, bacon and bread). It was very hot and the fan wasn't really adequate, aircon might be needed if the heatwave continues.

Lovely
Pros:

The setting and the rooms were beautiful, the staff were very welcoming.

Cons:

There seemed to be too few staff or a lack of efficiency as you could wait for sometime to be served for drinks and food

Cons:

Unfortunately we felt the room was overpriced for the level of decor.
The blind was in bad repair. The paintwork was chipped in places and the carpet was stained.

Highly recommended it, an oasis, excellent service, and menu
Pros:

Beautiful building, with a wonderful garden. Excellent food and service, in the heart of Tetbury.

Cons:

Check in is 4pm (officially) so could be a little frustrating. No air conditioning in my room, although given the age of the building and regulations, understandable.

The food is excellent.
Pros:

The dinner was excellent quality and beautifully served. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Beautiful property with great terrace, we were lucky enough to dine outside as the weather was perfect. Pretty garden with plenty of space for socialising.

Cons:

Okay so I found the mattress comfortably but my husband didn’t, everyone is different so it’s not a criticism. Would have preferred china mugs in the room rather than tea cups.

Excellent, enjoyed it very much
Pros:

A beautiful location, historic building. We loved the terrace and garden, due to the heatwave we enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast there. We had a Classic Double room, comfortable and clean with everything we needed. The staff were efficient and friendly, in particular Olivia who was so helpful and entertaining. We'll definately stay again.

Ritrovare un luogo del cuore
Pros:

Dopo un primo soggiorno memorabile, tornare al Close Hotel è stato un vero piacere. L'atmosfera è quella che ricordavamo: raffinata, accogliente e ricca di charme. La posizione è perfetta per esplorare il delizioso borgo di Tetbury e il sud delle Cotswolds, mentre gli ambienti conservano tutto il carattere e l'eleganza di una storica dimora inglese. La colazione, ottima e varia come sempre, è servita in modo impeccabile. È stata una splendida conferma e non avremo alcuna esitazione a scegliere ancora il Close Hotel per un futuro viaggio nelle Cotswolds.

Cons:

Nulla.
