This is not a Boutique motel, basic only. No restaurant open or prior notification it was shut, no offer of breakfast. It was clean and bed comfortable, shower poor.

Staff were lovely and the meal from the restaurant.
How ever the room was not matching the photo on the website
Traveling solo on this trip I found this accommodation suited my one night stopover. It felt safe and along with having a very nice restaurant it was good to wander across to reception without having to leave the complex.
Cotswold gardens is a good option in Armidale. My room was spacious and comfortable, a noteworthy issue I’ve encountered in my room is poor wifi connection and poor phone reception in the room. The walls are rather thick brick so the reception is blocked.
Comfortable, clean and quiet. Staff friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your staff. Restaurant on site is exceptional. Must try the lemon tartlets for dessert 😊
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was excellent! Recommend eating there. Rooms were clean and good value for the price.
Cotswold has old world charm & plenty of character. The manager & staff are very hospitable & accommodating. It is walking distance to the local shops with a bakery (serves great coffee & breakfast treats) & laundromat within 3 mins walk.
This is the second time we've stayed at Cotswold Gardens. And we'll be back. The staff are courteous and helpful; the on-site restaurant is first class; and the rooms are very comfortable and quiet.
