We were travelling with my mother, my wife, and my toddler, so we stayed in the cottage to make life a bit easier for all of us and to have some space for our son to play, eat, have tantrums, etc.. I want to first point out the service. It was top notch. Everyone was friendly, proactive, able to support our toddler's needs, you name it. The level of service is what we spoke about on our drive back to London and we thank all of the folks there for that. The Cottage was perfect for us. The location was great with lots of villages, farms, art galleries in easy driving distance. Thanks again, Owen LaFave
We had a 3 nights stay at the Rectory which is a true gem! The hotel is so beautiful and refined in every details. The cuisine is just amazing. We had dinner twice there and every single bite was exceptional! The rooms are comfortable (the standard ones are a bit small unless you travel with a carry on only), the bigger ones are juste perfect. The place is quiet and very well located to tour the Cotswolds. The staff is very kind. I would have loved staying a full week!
We spent two nights at this beautiful hotel with our dog. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent and the easily catered to a gluten free diet. The rooms are clean and cosy, they even put a dog bed and water bowl in our room. The whole place has a friendly, relaxing atmosphere and we are already planning when we might return.

A great base for exploring the cotswolds. We stayed two nights in a “Big Room” with a claw foot tub - it was great for two people. The breakfast is delicious with both continental and cooked options. Also recommend having dinner at the hotel one night with a drink in the bar to start.
Lovely place with a great sister pub across the road. Had a very good Sunday lunch in lovely surroundings. Wife and daughter enjoyed the outdoor. Lunch time service was poor as the 12.5% service charge is already on the bill so little incentive to look after guests. IMO. Service was slow at best and we literally had to beg for drinks on what was a very hot day. Lovely place though and great food. Would return.
Easy five star review. Beautiful rooms in beautiful surroundings and solid breakfast included. The sunrise through our bedroom window was exquisite. The dinner service at the restaurant was a bit confusing but overall a great experience, definitely coming back.
Stay at The Rectory for one night and I was amazing! The room was very clean and tidy, quiet during the night and the bed was very comfy. All the hotel staff were very friendly and chatty throughout my stay. The pool was clean and fresh towels were provided. In the evening the food at the restaurant was incredible, so tasty and looked enticing. All in all a great little luxury hotel would love to come back.
