We arrived here on spec and we were very pleased to find it clean, warm and comfortable. Surprisingly modern style bedroom and ensuite. The new owner, Maria, and all the staff were helpful and friendly. A small hotel charging sensible rates. We would happily stay here again.

Booking somewhere to stay at short notice is always a worry, and having searched quite a few places & found them all fully booked! So it was with relief and delight to have found this gem in Cricklade, only a short drive from where we going to visit Family & attend a Christening. We arrived around 4 to behold a... More

I only had a brief stay, but I really appreciated the little touches from the staff. The (possibly French?) manager who greeted me was particularly charming attentive - he personally showed me to my room (not something you tend to expect in a mid-price hotel such as this) and was very considerate to write out a night door code on...

From the moment my husband and I entered we were made to feel at home and were quickly served a Brazilian cocktail, caipirinha, which was delicious. A local samba band had been hired, the hotel decorated in Brazilian colours, a Brazilian chef taken on for the... More

From someone who stays in lots of Hotels, I only stayed 2 nights in this Hotel and found the following to say about it. The Bedroom was clean and tidy and although it was modern it had a very relaxed and warm feel to it, the bed was extremely comfortable too (beleive me, they would have heard from me if... More

Arrived as part of a group, and although the welcome and atmosphere were promising, the meals were awful. We were a largish group, but that didn't excuse the cold meals, and meals obviously pre-cooked, defrosted but still served cold in the middle. The piri piri seabream was like leather, well over cooked. The beef stroganoff was the mushroom stroganoff with... More
