The hotel offers warm, spacious, and immaculately clean rooms with a large wet room-type bathroom which was very clean. It felt nice and cozy inside, but the proximity to a busy main road meant I couldn't open the windows. The dining experience was generally good. The location is convenient for exploring different areas, but the noise from the main road can be a drawback.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were warm, spacious, and thankfully immaculately clean with a large wet room-type bathroom, again very clean. They could have benefitted from a fresh coat of paint, but overall, they were nice and cozy.

Service

7.0

The service was good and helpful, with very professional and friendly staff who were accommodating. However, there was a slight issue with room availability which was a downside.

Location

6.0

The location is suitable for specific activities like cycling trips and visits to nearby attractions like Westonbirt Arboretum and Durham Park National Trust locations. However, the hotel's proximity to a busy main road makes it very noisy at times.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were warm, spacious, and immaculately clean but lacked comfortable seating for TV viewing. Being next to the pub/restaurant was convenient for drinks and food. However, I did encounter a small issue of standing on a nail that was protruding through the carpet next to the bed.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were warm, spacious, and thankfully immaculately clean with a large, clean wet room type bathroom. However, there was a lack of comfortable seating to view the TV.

Service

7.0

The staff were very helpful across all departments and during breakfast duty. However, there were noticeable cutbacks in toiletry quality and amenities like limited tea and coffee supplies in the room.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location was ideal for venturing around the Cotswolds and visiting tourist destinations, but it was noisy due to its proximity to a main busy road.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. Breakfast service was slow, but there was a wonderful selection to choose from. However, other meals were decidedly unimpressive.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel is in urgent need of a complete refurbishment throughout and lacks some essential facilities. However, there is a seating area outside to enjoy drinks in the sunshine.

7.4/10

The hotel was ideally located near Bath and Bristol, offering friendly staff and good food service. However, the room design wasn't ideal for a quiet stay, especially for a mature couple, as noise from ongoing work disturbed our rest. The bed-making service was efficient, but the value for money was suitable for a one-night stay.

Rooms

7.0

Apart from the room design issue, the room was perfect for a one-night stay after some noise disturbance from ongoing work until late. The bed-making service was good.

Service

9.0

The service, especially the young lady on breakfast duty, was excellent. The staff appeared happy and proactive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. They made some adjustments smoothly to minimize disruptions.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was great for exploring Bath, Bristol, and other nearby attractions like Castle Combe and the Cotswolds. The proximity to the M4 was convenient, with easy access to outdoor areas for smoking guests, enhanced by the friendly staff and excellent food service.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its drawbacks, such as the late breakfast timings not suiting our schedule. The heavy reliance on pre-cooked food reheated affected the overall quality, but there was a positive note on the afternoon tea service.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's facilities were satisfactory. There were some issues with certain dining timings and food quality, but the atmosphere and service were pleasant. Good value for a one-night stay.
