Stayed for two nights on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Initially disappointed not to be in the old part of the hotel but our room turned out to be lovely with its own little terrace and very comfortable and clean.

The food was excellent, with plenty of options available for both dinner and breakfast.

Staff were friendly and very professional, we never had to wait long for someone to come and offer coffee/drinks etc.

Used the pool, which was nice and warm. The other half was pleased with the steam room and sauna. A hot tub would go well here. Didn't use the gym but it looked well equipped with all the machines that I use at my local gym.

The grounds are lovely and we will definitely go back in the summer so that we can sit outside and admire the view.

My partner and I have just returned from Charingworth Manor where we celebrated my 50th birthday over two nights. We had originally booked a superior grade room but due to a problem with the hot water we were instantly upgraded. All the staff were extremely helpful and responsive, the food was good and service excellent in a homely, comfortable and warm atmopshere. The lounges, which both had lovely log fires burning, provided a comfortable and warm space to relax and enjoy coffee or lunch.

I am aware that another reviewer has mentioned an issue with the hot water and our advice would be to check the hot water when you get to your room.

A delayed flight meant arriving into Heathrow 4 hours later than scheduled, and due to it being December the sun had almost set by the time we drove out of the airport. The drive itself was fine until after passing Oxford. The lack of street lights along the A-roads made driving in the Cotswolds much more challenging, particularly at night as we passed by many villages with Christmas lights and decorations. Upon arrival, the drive was up a long driveway to a manor house with an impressive view of the neighboring rolling hills. The hotel offered a dinner inclusive package and the price was reasonable.

The check in process was simple enough, however the two rooms booked are in different buildings (one in the main building/manor house, the other across a parking lot in the "newer" wing of the complex). Being a relatively old house, the room located in the main building came with slanted floors and creeky boards. The staircase in this building was also rather narrow and larger suitcases are definitely not recommended. The phone also was not working in this room. The smaller room in the newer wing overlooks a country road. Both rooms come with all the basic amenities and WiFi, although being on the smaller side.

The restaurant is located in the main building. The waitstaff was very pleasant, but service could have been more attentive and refined. If the hotel advertises a restaurant on the premise of AA rosette quality, then the food that evening was a hit and miss experience. For example, the crab and avocado salad was not too fresh-tasting, but the meat course was acceptable. Wine was poured without first being tasted, and the only lady at the table was the last one being served (wine or food).

From the outside, the hotel looked quintessential English-village. However, the experience was not exactly. On the other hand, the rooms are comfortable enough (you pay for what you get), and the restaurant was decent without having to drive for miles to find another restaurant for food. This is a good stop over for touring the Northern part of the Cotswolds, and is close to Broadway, Warwick, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Last visited about four years ago, this place has improved and now offers a very good standard and is value for money. The staff are efficient and friendly and give the impression they enjoy what they do. The restaurant is very much improved with a well balanced choice of options. Wine list quite good as well. Our room was in the old part of the house and was very nice, could do much more with the bathroom though. All in all, a very good value for money hotel, especially in this location.
