Amazing value
Great Hotel very friendly staff and good food in the restaurant. Very good value for money especially as we were changed to a suite due to the inclement weather and had it as a room rate.
I would certainly stay there again but I think I would choose late Spring or Summer because of the cold weather we encountered on our visit.
Relaxing and welcoming
We had a wonderful two night stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and moved us to a beautiful room due to a noisy heater in the room we had originally been allocated. The wood panelling is stunning, and the roaring log fire in the lounge added to the cosiness. Perfect choice to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Very friendly staff but poor restaurant
We stayed 3 nights. The menu, which did not change, was poor and very expensive for the quality of the food. This restaurant is trying to be something that it is not.
The very friendly staff compensated to some extent
OK for a short break (in summer)
Six of us stayed in January. The rooms (we stayed in the Pear Tree Annex) are large and clean. The shower was particularly great, being even more powerful than the ones in the USA!
The public rooms are nice but cold and unwelcoming in January. The large fireplaces were not in use (a rather poor excuse was made that they set off the fire alarm). But they had obviously been used recently. This could have been so much nicer with a roaring fire. We relaxed in the Snooker (actually Pool) Room and with the doors shut it was quite cosy.
The restaurant is very nice, and the two evening meals were very good, perhaps slightly overpriced. The menu is fixed, with no specials, so one might struggle for choice after a couple of days. Breakfast was excellent.
The Staff is pleasant and helpful, although sometimes a bit offhand.
One thing to note is that the BBC has a training college in the grounds, so there can be business groups in the bar. And a Wake during our visit, which occupied the public rooms. The garden and terrace look very nice, and probably a treat later in the year.
The Wood Norton has a lot of interesting history which it doesn't really make one aware of. European royalty stayed, and it played a major role in BBC wartime broadcasting. The only information provided about the House was a slightly grubby leaflet behind the bar. We thought this interesting back-story could have been much better used for publicity.
Great food, nice staff, but confusion over the bill
Overall a nice experience, excellent food and a comfortable room. I would happily visit again. But...
the special offer included ' 20 credit per room each evening towards beverages with your meal'. Over 2 nights this should have come to 40, but only 20 was allowed on our final bill, and I had to explain to reception that this wasn't right, which then seemed to create a bad atmosphere, as if I was cheating them out of something. The offer also said 'dinner for 2 each evening, 30 per person allowance'. I assumed this was 30 each person each evening (about the price of 2 courses) but only one 30 per person was allowed on the final bill, i.e. 15 per person per evening, which is not quite enough even for just the main course. I couldn't persuade the receptionist about this so ended up paying more than I expected and feeling a bit cheated. Hence the 'OK' rating, because this spoiled what would otherwise have been pretty good.
After Xmas trip
We felt the overall effect was very good but the bar left a bit to be desired. There was difficulty finding certain drinks and a total absence of sherry, the only alcohol my wife drinks.
The heating did not work in the room and sink continually drained in the bathroom. The overall feeling was that maintenance could have been a lot better.
I put that down to unobservant management who should be on top of these things in a hotel of this or any standard.
Ideal for weekend break
A very enjoyable weekend at this hotel. Bedroom comfortable, but bathroom in need of serious updating. Lift broken and remained so for the duration of our stay.
Perfect location for visiting the wonderful Cotswold villages.
If you enjoy good food this hotel is certainly for you. The food was superb, I hope they are able to keep the chef who produces the most exquisite food.
Would certainly visit again just for the food.
