    Beautiful room in a very peaceful pretty setting. The continental breakfast was fantastic with freshly baked pastries. I would especially recommend it for coeliacs as I had freshly made gf pastries which were served separately which was amazing, thankyou.

    Nothing really. It was exactly as described . Unfortunately we did not eat at the bistro but menu looked superb.

    Central village location with compact accommodation. Everything we needed to hand. Very slick fixtures and fittings, Breakfast was a feast of local produce, far too much for one sitting but happily put in a box to take with you.

    We liked everything except unfortunately the water didn’t run very hot in the morning so it was a slightly tepid shower.

    Loved the style, location and friendliness of the staff. The room was beautiful and we liked being able to read at the pretty outdoor tables tucked away on the patio at the back. Breakfast was gorgeous - all very fresh and lots homemade.

    We had to leave our car in a public car park nearby but it was free and we could drop off our luggage, so not a problem. Accomodation very central so everything was within walking distance, including the Cotswold Way.

    Beautifully decorated rooms with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent facilities, lots of thoughtful nice touches, beautiful views and a good central location in Painswick. Breakfast was amazing with a superb range of savoury and sweet options and a takeaway box with pastries so we had plenty for a picnic lunch on our walk! We also ate in the bistro each evening, which has an interesting menu and excellent personal service. Lovely friendly helpful hosts in both the accomodation and the bistro.

    Nice hotel with a great restaurant & breakfast - convenient for walkers on the Cotswold way. rooms were themed, I had the Rococo room which is a bit different than any of my other stays along the way, the room was a bit darker and ‘sleepier’ with heavy velvet curtains and gold wallpaper, definitely heavily themed so just be ready and make sure that’s what you’re in to - overall very comfy room.
