Not what it used to be. Still comfortable rooms but expensive for what you now get.
Pros:

Rooms were comfortable and stocked with coffee and tea. Carpeted floors. Restaurant and bar very nicely fitted. Good central location.

Cons:

No longer parking available with the hotel, spa was closed for refurbishment - the main reason I chose the hotel having used it a few years ago. But the room price still quite high given the facilities were closed. The walls are paper-thin and this particular stay was extremely noisy. Not sure I'll stay again, given the many other options in the Cotswolds for a similar price, and where breakfast is probably included.

L'amabilité du personnel, nous avons pu avoir une chambre silencieuse et plus grande suite à notre demande, en raison de bruits de tuyauterie.
