8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a great location. Two main gripes (one foreseeable): - I resented having to pay £50 for parking. It seems so excessive given what you’re already paying for a room. - The floor in the entrance to the spa and the men’s changing rooms were disgusting. They need an hourly clean. By the time I visited at 8-30 at night the floor was revolting."

Cotswolds Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The experience was positive overall, characterized by a well-maintained environment and helpful staff, with the room also noted for its cleanliness. However, it is important to note the absence of air conditioning, with only fans provided in the room. Additionally, elevator access is limited to the first floor, requiring guests to use a steep second flight of stairs, which may present a challenge for elderly individuals.."

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights on a weekend and were impressed with the spartan yet functional rooms. Despite the size and pay for what you need aspect, it's a fairly decent value if all you need is a bed and some air conditioning. It's about the size of a citizenM room but without all the technology in the room. Definitely would stay here again with one caveat. We paid for a late checkout (£20 until 1 pm) and had a male maid barge into our room while my wife was sleeping. When confronted, all he could muster was "did you pay for late checkout?" When I confirmed that we did indeed pay for a late checkout and did he want me to show him a receipt and/or confirm with the front desk He said it wasn't necessary. Needless to say, not one apology for entering the room or disturbing our rest. Tacky at best, unprofessional at worst. Definitely a few moments for improvement. The rest of our stay was uneventful."
