Beautiful inside and out

We’ve just arrived home from a one night stay and we’re very impressed with this hotel. This is a quintessential British old fashioned luxury hotel. The rooms are all individual and ours was very large with a wonderful view of Cheltenham racecourse. The oak panelled dining room, gave a feeling of grandeur without being stuffy and the food and serving staff were excellent both at dinner and breakfast. The hotel grounds are magnificent and we made use of the heated outdoor pool and spa, which was clean and not too busy. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish now we had booked for longer.

Lovely two night stay, ate in the first night which was lovely. All the staff were great, we found them all very helpful and they are an absolute asset to the Hotel (especially in this day and age when hospitality staff are hard to find) I used the spa and had an amazing back massage. Would highly recommend and will be booking again.

TLDR. Picturesque stately home, with warm, friendly service with quintessential British charm. If you're looking for a Cotswolds hotel, without the trappings of influencers (SoHo Farmhouse), or breaking the bank (Manor Estelle), this is for you. It's Cotswolds without any of the attitude you'll get at other hotels, with warm, welcoming service. There are lovely touches like the boot and jacket lending service, the dog 'spa' and the main room with its Tudor-style furnishings. This is a place for folks going outdoors, or families. The spa and pool are small, so it's less the 'spend the day at the hotel' property but a place to really go explore the countryside. The rooms are fairly modern but nothing remarkable. This is more historical, cozy than luxe. Likewise the service is warm, friendly but does not have the polish of a Belmond or top-calibre hotel but at the price-point is still very solid. Breakfast if it's an option to include is worth it, with a generous spread. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything as good nearby.

It is a beautiful hotel with a great history. All the staff were great. Lovely breakfasts. We were there 4 nights and had one dinner there which was great. We wanted to explore Cheltenham the other nights. Only hiccup was on our third day as elderly we decided to make use of the hotel first class facilities (out door heated swimming pool etc) and the most beautiful and comfy lounge. And although our room was empty at 10am , housekeeping did not service it until 3pm in spite of requests.
