Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has quite a unique charm with character-filled rooms that are comfortable and clean but suffer from some noise issues. The service was a mix of pleasant and poorly trained staff. The location is superb, right in the heart of the village with antique shops to explore. The dining experience offered good dishes, but reservations might be necessary. Overall, a place with potential but some improvements needed.
The hotel is centrally located, making it ideal for exploring Tetbury and close to the arboretum. The rooms were a bit noisy in the morning due to street activity and lacked privacy, but overall were comfortable. The service was pleasant and accommodating, especially appreciated when needing transportation. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in variety and presentation. The facility offered a nice bar and dining area for relaxation.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I was assigned was quite far away and high up, not ideal for someone with mobility issues. However, the room itself was superb despite needing some decorating. The service was a mix of kind and supportive interactions but also some abrupt and moody moments linked to understaffing issues. The location was convenient, being right in the heart of Tetbury, but the courtyard setting meant noise from the beer garden could be heard in the room. Dining options were satisfactory, with tasty full English breakfast but limited continental choices.
