The hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Bibury, offering stunning Cotswolds views and a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms boast intricate decorations and feature luxurious spa tubs, though some details could be improved. The service, while generally good, would benefit from more training, particularly in certain areas. Its central location provides easy access to the picturesque surroundings, but the dining experience might not meet all expectations. Overall, a charming stay with some room for enhancement.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Bibury, offering a unique experience with its rooms leading into private gardens and hot tubs. The service is friendly but could use a bit more direction and training. The location is unbeatable, overlooking the picturesque River Coln and nestled in the stunning Cotswolds.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were luxurious and elegant, providing a classic English style ambiance with a generous jacuzzi bath and a large, well-appointed bathroom. The Molton Brown products added a touch of sophistication to the amenities. The service, although good, could benefit from more direction and training, especially in the bar and restaurant management areas. However, the staff maintained a very professional yet friendly manner, particularly the receptionist. The location in the heart of Bibury, overlooking the picturesque River Coln in the amazing Cotswolds, added to the charm of the stay. The dining experience, though included, was a bit lacking with limited breakfast options. The facilities were well-equipped, offering a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The hotel offers an exceptional experience with luxurious rooms featuring an amazing spa tub and Molton Brown products, set in the charming atmosphere of the surrounding area. The large ensuite bathrooms add to the comfort, but some minor improvements could enhance the overall stay. The service, particularly from the receptionist, was professional and friendly, yet some staff members would benefit from additional training. The central location in historic Bibury within the stunning Cotswolds ensures a delightful stay, although a disappointing dining experience may need attention. Despite some areas that could be refined, the hotel provides good value for money with its upscale amenities and serene setting.
