I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms with the spa bath were so clean and comfortable, and they were beautifully decorated with all the necessary gadgets. However, the low ceilings and narrow stairs might be challenging for taller guests. The service was impeccable, with excellent housekeeping and even pet amenities available. The location was perfect for exploring the Cotswolds by car, although the village itself is quite quiet. The dining experience at the Lamb Inn was superb, offering a delicious breakfast selection. Overall, a delightful stay with some minor practical inconveniences.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and toasty warm, with a standout spa bath and a lovely view from my room. However, the low ceiling made it challenging to use the advertised bath, and we ended up sleeping in and missing breakfast, which was a downside.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the road, making it easy to access. The rooms offer a great bathroom and shower, but keeping the luggage open might be challenging due to space constraints and the different levels requiring movement up and down stairs. The service is exceptional, particularly with thoughtful amenities like housekeeping and a welcome drink. The location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds and other nearby sites, perfect for various activities such as wedding attendance or countryside walks. The dining experience, while cozy and featuring freshly cooked hot food, has limited hours and flexibility, potentially impacting comfort during peak times. Overall, a mix of convenient location and excellent service with minor room layout considerations and dining restrictions.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though reasonably small, were clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the back garden and surrounding trees. However, the constant noise from the boiler in the loft was a major downside. Additionally, the dining room chairs needed a good clean, and the low ceilings throughout the old building posed challenges for tall guests.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were reasonably small but clean and comfortable, offering a lovely view of the back garden and surrounding trees. However, the room I stayed in was in the stable block, which was a bit unusual. The dining experience was good overall, with an adequate selection of nutritious hot food. The location was convenient for accessing various attractions in the Cotswolds, but quite far outside Bourton-on-the-Water. The service was decent, with helpful housekeeping and pet amenities available if needed.

I had a pleasant stay at this charming hotel in a beautiful village of Great Rissington. The rooms, though a bit old, were tastefully restored and quiet at night, offering a lovely view over the garden. The location was perfect, away from the tourist crowds, with friendly staff and ample space in the room. However, the dining experience could have been more creative, and the stable rooms felt a bit dated.
