Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The rooms were all lovely, but I did notice a mouldy blind in the bathroom, which wasn't the best considering the price. However, the room had some nice touches like lovely chocolates and Molton Brown products, making the experience excellent.
The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, particularly notable was the care from reception staff. The convenient countryside location near Tetbury provides easy access to local attractions, making it a great choice for exploring the area. The dining experience, while tasty, may need improvements in portion sizes. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is ideally located next to the National Arboretum and a short drive to Slimbridge, offering beautiful surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions. The rooms, while nice, could benefit from improved soundproofing against traffic noise. The service provided by the attentive staff, especially Megan & Virginia, was exceptional, ensuring a pleasant and efficient stay.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with lovely amenities and a good selection of beverages, although it can get a bit cold near the windows.
