What guests think
At Cricklade House Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western, guests often highlight warm, helpful staff, a peaceful countryside setting with views, and a well-liked pool and spa, while noting dated areas and occasional issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Rooms are often spacious and comfortable but vary in condition; several courtyard and older rooms feel tired, with mismatched amenities and some temperature or noise complaints. Dining draws praise for tasty dinners and hearty breakfasts, yet reviews report inconsistent breakfast service and quality at times, plus pricey drinks and a few limited menu concerns. Overall, expect a friendly, tranquil stay if you're comfortable with some dated features.

Room was spacious with a fridge and small kitchen area. However it was very dated, the bathroom sink had a large crack in it. It could just do with refurbishing. The pool and steam room were lovely, very clean and well maintained. The hotel is sitting a lovely location. We would stay again but in a different room type as the courtyard rooms are very dated and I’d imagine would be very cold in the winter. The staff were very helpful and breakfast were also very good.

My wife and I used this as a one night stop over as part of a leisure trip. We were very happy with our choice. Hotel ( which has great spa facilities ) is a mile or so from village which has a few eating and drinking options if not wanting to eat at hotel. Staff excellent . Clean. Many thanks

The room felt a bit dated, and although the carpets were stained, the bed was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the swimming pool lacked loungers unless you were getting a treatment, and the water was on the chilly side. Additionally, many staff members seemed unenthusiastic and were quite blunt when interacting with guests. Breakfast lacked variety and where food ran low it took a while to get restocked.

Ground floor courtyard rooms need net curtains as other guests can see into bedroom and living areas through windows. This means you have to sit in bed in mornings with curtains closed and light on. Spa swimming pool area needs a good clean as spider webs around french doors. Loungers are dirty. Staff friendly. Food good.

The hotel was lovely. Unfortunately the room was not quite what i was expecting. After booking and paying for a superior room (four poster bed) in the main building, which was one of the most expensive rooms in the hotel), I was somewhat underwelmed with it on arrival. No four poster bed which was disappointing and the furniture looked very tired. Also the toilet was full of black stains in the bowl.

Room was dirty, bathroom had mould and the whole place needs refurbishment. I arrived at 9:30 in the evening and room service had stopped, the kitchen was closed. I got some water from the bar and the glass they gave me was dirty. I do not ever moan about my stays but honesty I felt the need to on this occasion.

We booked to stay in a superior room, however when we arrived in the room we noticed there were stains all over the carpet and marks on all of the walls. We requested a new room and was put in a standard room, which was agreed by us. Room was clean but still had some stains on the floor. Wouldn't say 4* hotel with the cleanliness of the rooms. The staff were really helpful and we enjoyed using the spa facilities. Breakfast the next day was nice and staff were accommodating to make scrambled eggs instead of fried eggs.

Booked one night here in late January with my wife. Lovely old building on the outside. Most of the staff were nice. There was one who was a bit rude but that wasn't really the issue. The room we were given was old, and in the uncleaned staff wing of the hotel. Quite ugly and not in the main hotel, despite the fact that the hotel was virtually empty when we stayed. Being in what appeared to be the staff wing, meant that the outside door in our corridor was left open most of the time, despite the January cold and rain. As well as being cold, this gave open access to anyone, which was a little concerning. The breakfast was ok. Not great. Not terrible. Just ok. We were denied a late checkout even though we requested this at check-in the previous afternoon. Check out was 11AM. We asked for one hour so we weren't rushing but they wouldn't let us. Their reason to refuse us could not have for hygiene reasons because when we checked out, we had to walk past cat turds that were left in our corridor from when we checked-in the previous day. The photos I attach show the same turd. from check-in to check out. They may want to clean the rooms early, but everything else, not so much so it would seem. Over all, a nice building. Perhaps if we had been given a more sanitary room and the midday check-out that we politely asked for, our rating would have been higher.

Lovely setting to stay in. The staff and cleanliness were exceptional. We stayed in a courtyard room so it was very quiet. The room itself was very nice, however, it is in need of on update. The bathroom has rusted pipe work which was not great on the eye. Some TLC is definitely needed and would make the stay that much better.

A lovely quiet location with views across the golf course and the open countryside. It is a shame not to be able to take a walk around the grounds without finding yourself on the fairway, a path would be good for getting some fresh air. The rooms are not that modern, but are comfortable - but I found the lighting in the bedroom too dim to either read in bed or do hair at the dressing table after dark. Food was good, though in common with many hotels, one member of staff serving at breakfast is not enough to take orders and replenish the buffet. Indoor pool was clean and the steam room and sauna excellent. Recommended for a mid-week stay - I suspect it might be busier with functions at the weekends.

If i had to find a minus point it would be no black out blinds or curtauns in the rooms so as soon as the sun came up the venetian blinds hid nothing, but im just clutching at straws here. Great base for our Cotswolds weekend. Thank you Cricklade House!

We wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody. Not 4* hotel.

Parts of the hotel are a little tired but generally you still feel you are in a ‘proper’ British hotel. Staff are all lovely respectful and helpful. All youngsters but really nice helpful people. There was a wedding in and a 90th birthday but the staff made it all happen together well. Recommend a visit to this traditional hotel.

Staff were excellent and very welcoming, However the hotel is been renovated( Some parts of it at the front) My room was awful and very dated with a dirty trainers socks left near the bed side cabinet! They said they would move me to another room but hotel was fully booked so they couldn’t!! Being a Golfer I was told the 9 hole Golf course was playable, Well it wasn’t !! It had been neglected since the covid I was told and the grass was so overgrown it was like fields if I had played on it I would have lost my ball on the fairways !!! The greens were more like fairways on a proper Golf course if not worse !! The restaurant was good, The food was amazing as was the breakfast. My disappointment was when I checked out I explained my concerns about the room, They knew this and thought as a good will gesture they might have given me some sort of discount on my bill for food !!

We arrived around 1230 to meet up with friends we only see infrequently for a reunion lunch at 1300. Reception was unmanned but made staff aware that we, and another couple, had arrived. A nice table outside had been reserved for us but this, surprisingly, was allowed to be taken by some others whilst we awaited the arrival of other companions and we were left to bake inside at a table beneath some plastic roofing until we insisted on moving outside when some other tables became available. Menu was very limited and I had to send my choice back twice until the correct dish arrived. The bill presented was mixed up and inaccurate to start with. At approx 1500 I received a telephone message telling me that our booking could not be honoured and we would receive a refund. I had had 1 beer and my wife had had 1 glass of wine, we observe a strict don't drink & drive policy, and insisted that we should be accommodated. We also wished to spend the evening with our travelling companions who are from overseas and we rarely see each other. A lesser room was subsequently allocated to us. Breakfast the following morning was shambolic eg no cereal bowls available and no clearing of used plates. Altogether I believe staff had not been properly trained, there was no supervision, or evidence of any internal management communication. An absolutely dreadful experience, I could not recommend this hotel in any way.

I had had 1 beer and my wife had had 1 glass of wine, we observe a strict don't drink & drive policy, and insisted that we should be accommodated. We also wished to spend the evening with our travelling companions who are from overseas and we rarely see each other. A lesser room was subsequently allocated to us. Breakfast the following morning was shambolic eg no cereal bowls available and no clearing of used plates. Altogether I believe staff had not been properly trained, there was no supervision, or evidence of any internal management communication. An absolutely dreadful experience, I could not recommend this hotel in any way.

We stayed the night ahead of spa treatments we had booked. Rather surprised to be asked for a deposit against damage to the room! Otherwise staff friendly and replied promptly to a request to ensure a twin room which was spacious and clean.

3rd time staying in a family room. Perfect set up for families with little kids. Pool always clean and quiet. Staff are great with kids and very accommodating.

It’s a great property. Great rooms and service. I was bothered with thing, where they charged us 10 bucks extra for a 15 mins late checkout. My concern was 1) we weren’t informed of such charges beforehand 2) hotel was mercenary in this rule/ decision and didn’t take into account the minute genuine delay. I’d have given 5 stars otherwise.

Location
Peaceful countryside location with scenic views near Cricklade and a convenient base for the Cotswolds. A few note it's a little remote and walking to the village can be difficult.

A lovely quiet location with views across the golf course and the open countryside. It is a shame not to be able to take a walk around the grounds without finding yourself on the fairway, a path would be good for getting some fresh air. The rooms are not that modern, but are comfortable - but I found the lighting in the bedroom too dim to either read in bed or do hair at the dressing table after dark. Food was good, though in common with many hotels, one member of staff serving at breakfast is not enough to take orders and replenish the buffet. Indoor pool was clean and the steam room and sauna excellent. Recommended for a mid-week stay - I suspect it might be busier with functions at the weekends.

My wife and I used this as a one night stop over as part of a leisure trip. We were very happy with our choice. Hotel ( which has great spa facilities ) is a mile or so from village which has a few eating and drinking options if not wanting to eat at hotel. Staff excellent . Clean. Many thanks

This hotel is a little remote but that adds to the charm. The staff were friendly and treated us well. The room was spacious, a little cool but well designed. There was a microwave and small air fryer and fridge in the room, however no utensils other than disposable bamboo plates and wooden cutlery, it wasn’t used but could be helpful to know. The breakfast was very good, fruit, cereals, pastries and cooked breakfast as well. The resident cat Doris is a gentle and friendly little old lady aged 19, she is a star member of staff

Room cleaning was virtually non existent. Room size was good. Staff were friendly. Hotel was set in a disused 9 hole golf course that had fallen into disuse. Bar and restaurant had excellent panoramic views. Service was good. Location was about a mile from the small village of Cricklade but difficult to walk as there were no paths. Spa facilities nice but small. No playground facilities for children. Price was fair but breakfast quite expensive.

The staff were all lovely. Very comfortable bed and room. It was marvellous to have a bath as I only have a shower at home. The food is good. For dinner last night I started with crab and prawn salad followed by duck. For breakfast I ordered eggs florentine, it was very good. Beautifull surroundings. There is a golf course next door.

It's a lovely hotel we have stayed before in both the main house and the outbuildings. Plenty of parking and beautiful views. Food and breakfast were nice. The main menu for dinner has changed since our last stay which I believe was the previous July. Personally we preferred the old menu we didn't feel the options were as good this time but that may just be down to personal preference.

The hotel I think has seen better days, some of the communal areas and bathroom are tired but the room was neat enough. Our room desperately needed blackout blinds, they let too much light in, it’s a hotel no brainer… the waiters at breakfast may have been new but didn’t understand my request for a black coffee, also apparently didn’t have decaf tea or herbal teas?! Breakfast was lovely otherwise. I also couldn’t buy a glass of sparkling wine at the bar, it had to be a bottle, so overall the service was lacking. Spa was very nice!! New facilities and treatment rooms spacious and quiet
