Our house bedrooms in the main hotel feature new bathrooms with power shower, wall mounted flat screen TVs, subtle designer lighting and stylish new furniture.

As a family owned hotel we pride ourselves in catering for large or small families of varying ages. Family rooms can include bunk beds with additional sofa bed, cots and put up beds or interconnecting rooms for parents wanting extra space and privacy.

Our Pavilion Executive bedrooms are located in a stunning separate building 150 feet from the main hotel and are favoured for their spaciousness and superb bathrooms featuring separate showers. Bedrooms at ground level have a patio and those on level two and three have balconies suspended from the roof eaves, many enjoying fantastic views to the Cotswold’s.

Suites with private lounge area, four poster beds and rooms adapted for people with disabilities are also available.

Preferential Accommodation RatesWe have special accommodation rates for the bridal party and guests wishing to stay, relax and make use of our superb leisure facilities. A limited number of rooms are available at preferential rates, therefore we ask guests to book early to avoid disappointment.
