It is a beautiful hotel with a great history. All the staff were great. Lovely breakfasts. We were there 4 nights and had one dinner there which was great. We wanted to explore Cheltenham the other nights. Only hiccup was on our third day as elderly we decided to make use of the hotel first class facilities (out door heated swimming pool etc) and the most beautiful and comfy lounge. And although our room was empty at 10am , housekeeping did not service it until 3pm in spite of requests.

Manor house in the Cotswalds.
Great choice to stay for exploring the Cotswalds. It’s a former manor house converted to an elegant hotel and spa though there are some new rooms outside the main house. There is a lovely breakfast included. There are 2 restaurants on property but they have the same menu. Other food options are 10-15 minutes away. Our room was good sized with huge bathroom but rooms in the main house are varied from smaller to larger than ours. Staff was attentive. Fun to talk to other guests who come from near and far.

Very nice grounds. Very spa treatment. Decent breakfast. Room was big but didn’t feel luxurious and a bit of mold in the shower. A bit tired. e.g. curtain was hanging off last curtain hook. Service didn’t really meet 5 star. Dining experience wasn’t great. Took 15 mins to take dishes away. Probably wouldn’t go again.

Lovely, historic stay
Very unique property and lovely setting ... as a historical property, they have done a nice job of combining the comforts of modern amenities while keeping within their historical requirements. Service was slightly below average, with some well-trained staff and others going through the motions. We stayed in the Lodge and we experienced a few issues.
