The stay was good, but it was a very cold day and on checking in the room was not warm, mainly because the radiator was only on very low temperature.

Good size room in a quiet location
The staff are very friendly and the food menu and quality was great
Bathroom shower was a little awkward being in the bath with no grab rails when getting in/out
All in all a good hotel and competitively priced

Cotswolds 2025
The room facilities weren’t great. The unsecured Wi-Fi doesn’t pass cyber security measures and there was no effective mobile signal. The TV and radio channels were extremely limited to only BBC, ITV, And C4/5.
The room wasn’t hoovered during the stay.
Power sockets were hidden behind tables so charging phones was difficult. The shaver power socket was dead. There were no tissues in the room.
Given the lack of facilities, it was a challenging stay for a solo traveller (two of my four nights) and it made planning the days out harder.
It would have been useful to have more details about what was going on locally - including that the very nearby English Heritage Roman Villa was closed but the local area was great.
The staff were ok - not massively friendly. For a Greene King property it was either sad or amusing to overhear them heavily criticise Fullers pubs.
It felt like the property was more orientated to weddings and events rather than stays.
The food was a tad expensive for what it was.

Very close to the Cotswold Way, but the last bit of walk into Birdlip along the road was close to the roadway.

Lovely last minute trip!
Hotel is in a lovely location. We were able to join the Cotswold Way from the grounds of the hotel to go for a walk which had stunning views! The hotel room is clean, comfy and quite spacious. I would say it is a little tired in places however it hasn't spoilt our trip! We ate in the restaurant on Sunday evening and the food was delicious! Overall, a very enjoyable trip!

Nice short weekend away.
Electric charging points weren't working. Don't think they have been everytime we have been.
Food was excellent. Saturday evening service was very slow though..Waited 60 minutes for our food. I apreciate they were busy but 60 minutes for a burger and gammon was a bit excessive. Have stayed here a number of times. Lovely place. Will stop again.
