positive comments The room was very comfortable and the food was excellent
negative comments The hotel could do with refitting the bar area once the smoking ban comes into force. Strong smell of stale cigarettes

Findlay from Dover, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 24 February 2007

Not happy with the lack of knowledge from the front line staff. 1) They were unable to pass external calls into my room. 2) The bed - how old was the blanket, did not llok clean and how old or clean was the bedspread? Why dont they use quilts? 3) Requested a wake up call at 5:30am - this never happened! 4) Only good point was the restaurant - excellent food and service (99530324)

positive comments Accomodation okay, unable to access website other than the hotels dial up service. Where is the broadband!
negative comments Bedspread and under blanket looked way beyond its sell by. It looked worn and over washed. No hot water inthe morning! Unable to wash due to cold water coming from the hot tap!

Robert from London, United Kingdom;GB (Same sex couple) 31 August 2006

Our bathroom window overlooked the courtyard yet it was clear glass; the room was right next to a fire door in the corridor which caused some noise as it banged. Service at breakfast was rather surly and I felt that there were not enough staff on to cope with the customers; despite being a Sunday the information from the hotel said that breakfast finished at 9.30am which is too early. (3305212538)

positive comments Location; stylish decor in the public rooms; hotel was not too large
negative comments Room was rather small and poorly planned;

Howard from Hollywater, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 28 June 2006

Enjoyed my stay very much, but wish that I had spotted that the hotel restaurant was nouvelle cuisine before inviting my project team of 6 to a (very expensive) dinner at the hotel - a menu of more substantial fare would have been more appropriate. (3304873337)

Twenty some years ago when my husband and I stayed there we liked the town itself, but just like so many other Cotswold towns, Moreton-in-Marsh has become way too busy with people, traffic, and rather tacky tourist stores. I should have been prepared for this. (3304493720)

positive comments Well decorated.
negative comments The small size of the room, and its being right on the street side.

It would have been advantageous to have a business suite available with internet, fax etc. Although, the reception staff did assist when requested with taking copies of documentation etc. I would have liked to be able to work within my room also and a wireless network would have been very beneficial to me. My overall experience with the hotel was very good. It was comfortable, clean, relaxing and an excellent location. The hotels information stated that a safe was located within the wardrobe, unfortunately, this was not available within my room. (3304329079)

positive comments The decor was tasteful a mixture of old to suit the hotel and location with modern facilities. The complimentary drinking water within the room was a nice benefit. The location of the hotel was ideal as it was easy to find, right on the high street (although very quite) and a short 5 min drive from the Fire College which was where I was attending a conference. The food was of a high standard and a good selection available.
negative comments It was disapointing that wireless network facility was not available. The staff nos (especially within the bar area) were sometimes undermanned and at times the service was slow. The flooring within the ensuite facility was very slippery and the bathroom itself was quite small. It was adequate for one person staying but would have been tight for two adults.

The restaurant was fab, great lighting and decoration, intimate but friendly. The food was a bit different, with smallish portions (nouvelle) but with 3 courses you were left more than satisfied. Not cheap but excellent quality with some really unusual combinations of fresh, local ingredients. All the staff were professional and friendly and the barman made one of the best gin & tonics. Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom are always a good sign and the bath towels were a very generous size. We were upgraded to a 4-poster and the bed was very comfy with a generous size bathroom ensuite - everything working perfectly. The breakfast was excellent too, with a good choice of fresh fruits, yoghurts, pastries and breakfast cooked to order. It was a lovely, relaxing 2 day break and we'd have no hesitation recommending it or returning ourselves. The guests we saw were a mixture of couples (young and mature) and small groups. (3304403102)

positive comments Public lounges were spacious & comfortable. Great lighting & decoration in the restaurant. The room and bathroom were a good size, with plenty of natural daylight. Comfy bed (4-poster) with good quality sheets.
negative comments Not much - just better signage for parking

I enjoyed my stay the staff were helpful and the environment quite relaxing. I would have liked to know if there were any fitness facilities in the hotel or nearby. (3304171847)

positive comments The room was very cosy and the facilities were very clean and the complimentary services were of a high standard.
negative comments I felt the dinner menu was over priced and a little restricted
Excellent
Anonymous (Mature couple) 28 January 2006

That the meals provided in the restaraunt were above the norm and were not indicative of the price for the room. Having said that the food was excellent (if a bit on the pricey side) The service excellent and the whole atmosphere were very relaxing even for the single night, I would like to spend a long weekend to fully apreciate the comfort and atmosphere of the hotel (maybe oneday!)

positive comments I liked the traditional style and homeliness of the hotel. I did not feel vulnerable being on my own.
negative comments I arrived at 5pm ish and the wanted to plan my evening meal. I did not find the reception staff very forth coming on what was available. I was asked if I wanted to book a table for dinner and then realised it was a set meal at £32. I was not offered a bar meal, room service and only found out later that I could have had afternoon tea. There was no information in my room to let me know this either.

Steve from Chepstow, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 12 September 2005

Overall this was the most enjoyable stay I`ve had at any hotel. I would highly recommend it to any friends or colleagues. They have not seen the last of me. I was ,at first apprehensive at booking into a hotel blind (i.e online) but it`s the best mouseclick I`ve ever done. If only work committments hadn`t got in the way we would have stayed longer. (2686212)

positive comments The general atmosphere of the hotel was just so easy going, but professional. The staff were excellent and joined in any humour to keep, certainly us, at our ease. While still maintaining a respect for the customer. I can`t thank them enough
negative comments The only minor and I do stress minor complaint was the standard of the English Breakfast

The hotel is very picturesque, lovely and quiet. The general surroundings are very tasteful with a gorgeous log fire. The rooms were beautiful and keen. The staff were friendly and courteous. The breakfast in bed in the morning was superb, haven't had scrambled egg like that in years! Really couldn't find fault with anything. (1855910)

Ed from Maidenhead, United Kingdom (Young couple) 04 February 2005

We parked directly outside the hotel and were given a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. All facilities were pointed out to us and assistance was offered to carry our case to our room. The room had exposed beams and was a slightly unusual layout but this made a welcome change from the standard rooms found in many hotels. Breakfast was delicious with a full range of continental and cooked foods. We also has a bar meal at the hotel. The modern style of the bar and dining room were very different from that of the rest of the hotel. Overall, we thouroughly enjoyed our stay. (1838874)

The restaurant was excellent, if a little on the expensive side. The lounge area downstairs, garden etc. was very pleasant. However, the room itself was a little worn and could have done with a more thorough cleaning. (1608721)
