Pros:

Localisation très bien pour découvrir les Cotswolds. Il n'y a pas grand chose à faire dans la ville en elle même, mais très pratique pour graviter dans les environs. Chambre correcte et agréable

Great venue if you want a good dance & then straight to bed when you’ve had enough
Pros:

Great venue with a lively night at the pub disco & then up to our well equipped room once we’d had enough

Cons:

The only one fault I can think of was the fact I think they lost our brekky order but that was corrected anyway, just a little later than expected

we loved that we got the hotel and breakfast for such a cheap amount. the service was brilliant the 10% off drinks was a
Pros:

we loved the character it had

Cons:

the doors bang which isn’t good for during the night also the room was so hot when we arrived. could’ve done with having the windows open and the fan on for our arrival?

Die schlechteste Übernachtung, die ich bisher bei Booking gebucht habe.
Pros:

Das Personal an der Anmeldung war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war viel zu warm und direkt angrenzend an die Lüftung des Hotels und dem zu Folge viel zu laut und heiß.

Pros:

The location was fantastic to easily see the city and drive to other spots in the region and the free parking was good. Staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing.

Cons:

The mattress seemed old and therefore not so comfortable. The pub itself was not loud but the venue next door was on Friday and Saturday night, however, we were told about this and provided with ear plugs

Fitted our needs perfectly for a one night stay, but felt the room didn't justify the superior tag.
Pros:

Location of the breakfast facilities pleasant
Choice of cereals a bit limited
No saucers put out for the coffee cups
No marmalade only jam

Cons:

Lovely shower in the bathroom, but impossible to stop the water from spraying out on the floor and making it very wet. Nowhere in the bathroom to stand any personal toiletries. No bin for tissues/wipes etc Extractor fan wasn't working.

Hotel con encanto y desayuno delicioso
Pros:

La atención de 10 súper amables y atentos en todo.

Cons:

Tal vez el hecho que al hacer conciertos y dj en directos, se escucha bastante en las habitaciones aunque te faciliten los tapones. Aun así la experiencia fue muy grata :)
