Lovely building, Amazingly friendly staff, lovely breakfasts and room.
Pros:

The staff were so friendly and accommodating.
The breakfasts were lovely.

Cons:

The bed creaked and squeaked on every move and was a little hard for me with arthritis. Otherwise, the stay would have been perfect..

Pros:

Buona la posizione vicino ai vari paesini del Cotswolds, ottima la colazione da scegliere tra 4 opzioni il giorno prima, stanze grandi e pulite giornalmente con vista sui pascoli, silenzioso e gestori disponibili. Ovviamente essendo in campagna per la cena o si prenota nell'hotel o ci si muove con l'auto

Cons:

Tutto perfetto

Lack of lounge facilities and eating in small foyer detracted from what would have been a really good experience
Pros:

The hosts and food were really good. Dining room great space

Cons:

No lounge area to relax with other guests. Having to eat meals in entrance hall. Only able to eat in dining room if booked 48 hours in advance. Not always possible when on a short break

Ottima posizione per visita le costwolds, vale per il cibo!
Pros:

Location molto pittoresca, colazione strepitosa!
Ottimo wifi.

Cons:

La nostra camera da 4 era indisponibile per un guasto. Gentilmente ci sono state offerte 2 camere al posto di 1 ma con 2 bambini piccoli non sarebbe stato possibile dormire separati. Abbiamo utilizzato quindi solo una camera, nessun rimborso per l’inconveniente non dipeso da noi. Camere datate.
