Lovely stay, great value for money, very clean/modern!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed, we were shown to our modern room which was excellent value for money as it was our base while exploring the Cotswolds. We had breakfast included which was delicious and the staff couldn’t be more helpful and polite. We even tried their style cuisine for breakfast which was a treat!

Cons:

Nothing it was a great property, only thing I’d mention is the beds/pillows are quite firm but that’s down to preference.

Lovely stay. Lovely staff.
Pros:

Very convenient location. Really friendly staff, when they noticed that my partner was struggling with his eyesight our room was upgraded to one with no step.
They couldn’t have done more to make us welcome. Good excellent.

Cons:

The doors had bleeping alarms if they were not shut properly & this was a bit of a nuisance at night if people didn’t pull their doors closed.
Would have liked cereals & fruit to be a choice on the breakfast menu.

Great Stay
Pros:

Attentive staff, nice selection of quality food in the restaurant. And good location for exploring the Cotswolds and the Oxford area.

Cons:

The room itself was modern and clean, the only drawback was that there was no privacy where the wash bowl was located, maybe even a curtain would do between the bedroom area. Also our wash bowl plug didn't work for some reason, so it wouldn't hold any water (Rm8). Apart from those minor issues, it was an enjoyable stay.

Gut aber mit schlechten Nachgeschmack
Pros:

Zimmer war sauber und ansprechend
Essen war gut, jedoch wurde der Nebentisch mit Spray abgewischt und Boden gekehrt, als wir gerade gegessen haben

Cons:

Wir konnten leider aus persönlichen Gründen erst am 2. Tag unseres Aufenthaltes anreisen. Wir standen vor verschlossener Türe, da Check in erst ab 16 Uhr. Tagsüber ist keiner im Hotel und das Hotel wird zugesperrt. Wir mussten 2 Stunden warten, obwohl wir das Zimmer bereits für den Tag vorher bezahlt hatten. Der Inhaber des Hotels ist leider nicht kooperativ bezüglich eines Nachlasses des Zimmerpreises. Ich habe noch NIE ein Hotel erlebt, das tagsüber zusperrt und keiner erreichbar ist!!!

Pros:

The staff were excellent; Ali had understood my request to book meals in advance as my partner with dementia finds waiting difficult, and Mohammed, who was assigned to look after us in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was kind, attentive and efficient. The food in the evening and morning was delicious; the avocado on the breakfast particularly tasty!
it was well positioned, has a generous car park and the rooms were quiet given the proximity of the A420. The wee garden was pretty and the painted lady butterflies all over the buddleia great to see.

Cons:

The room was a bit of a challenge - there was a step down from the entry area into the main sleeping area which meant every trip to the loo involved negotiating this step. For fully functioning adults that may not be an issue, but definitely a trip hazard if you are a bit bleary in the night. I don't know if the more expensive rooms have this as a common feature. And the toilet door closer was incredibly heavy, even to a gym fit me, and my partner couldn't manage it. Why there is a fire door closer on the shower/loo is a bit of a mystery. I advised the staff who explained it was a new build; perhaps they can dial down the settings.

A great option for a one-night stay, if you’re on a long journey, and passing this area.
Pros:

The accommodation is actually just quite a ‘swanky’ motel, alongside The Snooty Mehmaan restaurant. That was fine for us, as we wanted a one night stop-over as part of an extended road-trip, and so didn’t need full Hotel facilities.

Check-in was quick & easy. Allocated #8, and it was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The bathroom was ’compact’, but the shower was good quality. (This should be 'a given', but it's amazing how many places can't get this right).

Parking directly outside, and WI-FI come included in the price. A really tasty al-a-carte breakfast was also included, and the staff were really friendly and engaging. (Shout-out to Ali).

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well maintained. In fact, it appeared as if it had been recently refurbished, the decor was that fresh?

We would definitely recommend for a one-night stay, if you’re on a long journey.

Cons:

There are no facilities here, other than your room, (and the restaurant alongside) so it's a stretch for it to be called a boutique hotel, and at £125 a night it isn't cheap, but I guess that's the going rate?

I would recommend this modern, comfortable B&B
Pros:

The decor was very trendy. The staff were very attentive. Everywhere was contemporary (with all mod cons) & spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable. The food was very tasty.

Cons:

There was a smell of ? sewerage on the corridor (we didn't mention it unfortunately). The food was rather pricey. The location was a bit remote & it was difficult to walk into town as there was no path in places on what was a busy road.
