We had a lovely experience at this hard-to-fault country house hotel. Noticeably, nothing looked, worn, old or tired. We slept in Room 10 which overlooks the garden and which, going by the fire safety plan on the back of the door, looks to be the largest room on the 1st floor and yes, it's big! Very comfortable 6-foot bed (proper ‘king size') and nice to have a central ceiling light as well as wall and side-table lamps. The bathroom was not huge but adequate, with a large walk-in shower cubicle, ample water pressure and good towels.
The public areas, especially the bar area, we found understated, so not especially welcoming, but this was more than offset by the high standard of service from the front of house staff. A special mention for Dan behind the bar who, whilst young, has the right attitude.
A good number of tables and chairs outside for al-fresco drinks and meals in the well-kept lawned garden.
We chose to eat a light meal in the bar and thought the food was well prepared and good value. Likewise breakfast. The Cotswold (full English) was perfectly cooked and nicely presented. The bacon in particular was thickly sliced and seemed not to have shrunk in cooking. The spread of self-service items was varied and well displayed on a huge table.
Altogether a lovely stay; we have every intention of going back
