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 dining experience is delightful, especially with coffees by the temple within the gardens, yet with some room for improvement in the variety of options.

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.
