Pros:

I když jsme hotel trochu hledali dle navigace, tak na nás majitel počkal i po 22 hodině a byl velmi přátelský.
I při otevřených oknech byl pokoj velmi tichý.

Cons:

Bylo by dobré napsat adresu ubytování tak, aby ji navigace v autě napoprvé dobře našla.

In giro per la campagna inglese
Pros:

Posizione ottima per visitare le Cotswold, parcheggio gratuito in loco. La nostra stanza era al piano terra con uscita su un piccolo giardino che ci ha regalato ogni mattina l'incontro con scoiattoli e uccellini che venivano a cibarsi davanti alla nostra finestra. La stanza era ampia con letto matrimoniale, lettino singolo per nostro figlio e poltrona; sebbene ci fosse la moquette questa era pulita e ben tenuta. Bagno discretamente spazioso e pulito, doccia calda e comoda. Era presente l'essenziale per la colazione.
La sera del nostro arrivo abbiamo cenato nel pub, tutto è stato molto buono (soprattutto la zuppa del giorno) e abbondante. Abbiamo anche scelto di farci una colazione dolce (a pagamento) ed è stata molto buona.
L'host che ci ha serviti ogni mattina è stato davvero gentile.

Cons:

Consiglierei di mettere in stanza un piccolo frigorifero e dotare il bagno di prese per poter utilizzare il phon davanti allo specchio. Abbiamo lasciato gli asciugamani nel lavandino per farli cambiare ma ciò non è successo; credo che la pulizia giornaliera fosse piuttosto sommaria, a noi si limitavano a ritirare su le coperte, il bagno non è mai stato pulito durante il nostro soggiorno ma ciò non ci ha creato disagio

Pros:

Le camere spaziose ed il ristorante con piatti tipici ed abbondanti. La cordialità dello staff

Cons:

Le camere sono poco insonorizzate. Eravamo al piano terra e gli ospiti al primo piano hanno camminato tutta la notte rendendoci il riposo difficile

Pros:

The young man who checked us in was very welcoming,chatty and friendly.

Cons:

We stayed in room 3. The door handle was loose on the door, there was no lock on the bathroom door and when we flushed the toilet it felt like the toilet was going to come off the wall.
