Cotswold Gardens

What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers describe Cotswold Gardens as a comfortable, quiet, and convenient base near town, appreciated for friendly staff, clean rooms, and an on-site restaurant that many highlight for quality food and easy in-house dining.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though several mention dated decor or mismatches with website photos, and traffic noise can affect rooms close to the main road. Undercover parking is available but spaces can be tight or unallocated on busy nights, and some guests report patchy Wi‑Fi, temperamental hot water, or housekeeping and maintenance lapses. Overall, expect a value-focused stay with warm service and excellent dining, tempered by older rooms and occasional operational quirks.

Room was OK but a bit well worn. Bedding was clean and comfortable. Unallocated car parking was a nightmare on a busy night. Size of spaces is a problem as many are restricted by veranda posts or trees and it impossible to fit a 4wd. Especially when at least 50% of the cars are 4wd.

Carpets a bit dirty - need a wash. Shower hot water cut off very quickly to cold before I had finished washing my hair ( I don’t take long either) . This could have been something wrong with the system or a ‘timed ‘ supply but no notice of this if in place. It was quite a shock on a very cold morning .

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.

Rooms definitely not in the same condition as appear on their website. Tatty old lounge, cracks in walls, pillows that were past their use by. We paid for a king bed and room but were given a double room plus location on main road made it very noisey. Nothing like anywhere in the Cotswolds I’ve stayed!
