“In my opinion, this is a remarkably well-kept property that excels as a comfortable base for exploring the Cotswolds. The rooms are modern, quiet, and the beds notably comfortable, a significant plus. I was particularly impressed with the dedicated space for guests to prepare their own food, a thoughtful touch for longer stays or budget-conscious travellers.”
