Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a Turkish bath big enough for a football team on the upper floors and modern decor, creating a better bedroom experience. The location is set in beautiful gardens, although slightly distant in the field beyond, yet close to many other pretty villages that are well worth a visit. Dining includes coffees by the temple within the gardens and features sourdough toast, although fried fish is also available. The facilities are well-equipped for a relaxing stay.
I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The rooms are absolutely amazing, equipped with a Turkish bath big enough for a football team. The shower was great, and the bedroom was even better. I loved being on the upper floors for the stunning views. But it wasn't all perfect; there were some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in the beautiful Cotswolds, amidst rolling hills and picturesque gardens, offering a tranquil escape. The rooms are spacious, modern, and come with a luxurious Turkish bath big enough for a football team, adding a touch of indulgence to the stay. While the service is impeccable with friendly staff, the dining experience could be more diverse. The location immerses you in nature with gardens and a working farm nearby, but the 'lounge' area of the spa could be improved. Overall, a relaxing retreat with some room for enhancement.
