I had booked a room for two nights through Expedia. I had selected an executive room. Was charged on my receipt as one bedroom economy. Economy rooms are not available to select on Expedia. I was absolutely appalled by the terrible room when we arrived, it looked nothing like the pictures on Expedia (all executive pictures). The room was stained, holes in the furniture and bedding, the carpet tacks were exposed and carpet ripped up. Absolutely awful. This was not as advertised on Expedia at all!! I was moved to another room at my request but was made to pay a surcharge. The second room was only available one night and I refused to stay in that disgusting economy room so was forced to find another hotel for the second night of holidays. The second night was refunded but this could have all been avoided if your hotel was forthcoming with truthful photographs and descriptions on Expedia. Reached out via email to the GM and no response

The Cotswolds theme was done really well, immaculate grounds. Lovely outdoor lighting. Wasnt a fan of the bed, too hard and no weight to covers, felt cold during night. And although the room was refurbished they forgot about the curtains, they were pretty tatty. But i would still stay here again, good location.

This is the second time we've stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. Love the tudor vibe that's carried out across the rooms and the restaurant as well. Very fun. The 2 bedroom unit is fantastic, tv in every room as well as warm and spacious. The onsite restaurant is very handy and food was yummy. We will definitely stay here again next time! Thanks
