Room was nice stayed three nights only serviced the room once. Was unable to connect to there internet as passwords and user name provided does not work. Food from there restaurant was very good. Due to the times that reception is open I was unable to get my breakfast as it has to be collected from the reception during opening hours as I was up and about doing things before they opened I was not able to collect the supplied breakfast.

No restaurant, and not good value

Restaurant was not open - which was the main reason we picked this motel. Signage for a gym is false as is it under construction. Taps in bathroom leaked. Unclear parking caused confusion for some guests. Not good value, and we would not stay here again.

Comfortable and convenient

The two negatives- the restaurant which motivated our booking was closed both nights we were there and the information was out of date. But the service was good, help with operating tv . Comfortable room and close by car to central Cbd.

A property with an old world elegance. Checkin was exceptionally easy. We found we were upgraded to a spa room which was more spacious than expected. We ended up with a 2 bathroom suite with a sitting room. Bed was comfy and the bedroom cosy on a cold night outside. Little things needed maintenance - a dripping tap, one TV didnt operate, nor did one air conditioner, but when you have 2 of each what does it matter? We enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and comfortable. Thank you to the staff.

Shower head requires replacing in room 18. Very hard to adjust temperature either freezing cold or too hot. Rooms need a refurb looking a bit sad. Comfortable stay for a good price.

Cotswold has old world charm & plenty of character. The manager & staff are very hospitable & accommodating. It is walking distance to the local shops with a bakery (serves great coffee & breakfast treats) & laundromat within 3 mins walk.

Overall mediocre. There were crickets on the carpet that were a bit offputting. Office sign said open, but door locked on Sunday when we were leaving, so no opportunity to discuss issues. Others also wanting to enter office.
