Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The location was peaceful in the village of Clanfield in the Cotswolds, surrounded by nature. The room was beautifully decorated, and I appreciated having my own toiletries. However, the dining experience was lacking as drinks were not included, and the food quality was not up to par.
The hotel is nestled at a quiet crossroads in the village of Clanfield in the Cotswolds, offering proximity to a pub and easy access to explore the area. The rooms are cozy with a comfy bed, but the bathrooms are a bit tight. The service was attentive, including room service. However, the dining experience, although inclusive of delicious marmalade, lacked variety and did not include drinks. The location is convenient for exploring the Cotswolds and provides the unique experience of gin blending. The facilities are decent, although some areas may feel cramped.

The hotel is situated at a quiet crossroads in the village of Clanfield in the Cotswolds, offering easy access to activities around the area. The location was ideal for exploring nearby villages such as Burford. However, the dining experience was quite poor with drinks not being included. The rooms feature a four-poster bed and some unique features, along with a bathroom accessible for dogs.
I was thrilled with the hotel's location at a quiet crossroads in the village of Clanfield in the Cotswolds, making it conveniently accessible and part of the beautiful area. The rooms were cozy with a very comfortable 4 poster bed, but the bathroom felt a bit tight. Unfortunately, the dining experience, although included, was quite poor without drinks included. On the bright side, the service was excellent with room service available. Overall, a charming spot in the Cotswolds with some room for improvement in dining.
