Our 4th visit for lunch. Standards appear to be slipping. We were seated in a lounge room for lunch, when we had explicitly booked to eat in the dining room/ restaurant.Our booking details were not checked on arrival. We were seated in one of the “Lounge” areas, and waited 15 minutes before we were asked if we would like a drink. After ordering 3 glasses of sherry, after 10 minutes, we were informed that there was no sherry. The low lounge coffee-style table was then provided with cutlery in the style of the expectation of a “Bar” snack. We explained that we had booked for a formal lunch in the dining room. The food was superb - no complaints here - but the staff appeared to be inexperienced, and the standard of service was well below par. After recommending the hotel to many friends, we were most disappointed by our experience on September 11, and as a result we shall not return; neither shall we recommend the hotel in the future. What a pity, we previously thought we had found the ideal place for a perfect lunch.
Booked 10 minutes before we arrived here after being let down by Pettifers, Crudwell (see separate review). Landlady was very welcoming and helped my husband when she saw him struggling to walk across the carpark. We had a room in the courtyard which meant no stairs and the shower was a large walk in so excellent for us. The bed was very comfortable and there was all we needed in the room. Enough space to walk around and a dressing table with a chair and mirror where I could do my hair as a plug was nearby. The entrance way to the carpark is a little tight but after the first time you get used to it and there was a large transit van which had managed fine. There were painters there who were so nice and guided me through. At the end of the carpark is a terrace with great countryside side views and as the weather was lovely we spent quite a bit of time there. The 2 lads in the bar were a credit to the place as they were friendly and helpful. Would defiantly recommend.

As others have written, this hotel could be good - but there are just so many failings which make a stay here disappointing. A bath mat was missing. Towels are fine but are not generously sized. Wifi was good. It was frustrating that the reception desk was not manned more often - especially annoying at check out time as there was no one to say 'How was your stay? ' (I am not sure if they are interested in feedback because if they were, they would make sure there was someone present at check out time) But the hugest disappoinment was the lack of cooked breakfast. This was a surprise - I had no idea that I was booked into somewhere that did not serve any cooked breakfast. It then became apparent that cooked breakfasts stopped a week ago. I felt very sorry for the waiter who had to deal with many unhappy customers - none of which were aware of this change. The continental breakfast that was served was not very appealing - everything just seemed cheap. (So disappointing especially as there is a fantastic deli/bakery just up the road serving amazing croissants) For the price that is charged, there should be a cooked breakfast offered. I would imagine that all the other hotels in Tetbury offer a cooked breakfast. For this reason, I would not return.
