The Slaughters Country Inn

This hotel is one of the UK’s most beautiful villages. Outwardly the property is stunning, Inside it’s less impressive. This place could be one the most beautiful hotels in the world. When we checked in we asked, (and apologised for the dumb question), if there was a reliable taxi service in the area as we had a dinner reservation 20 mins away. We were told that yes there was a good service, just book 30 minutes in advance. Some had a glass of wine in the bar and then were told there were no taxis! My wife and I spent 45 minutes trying and finally found one. All the local numbers told us that the hotel had put our number in the WhatsApp taxi chat! We ordered drinks in the bar and the barman spilled the wine down our glasses, plonked them on the bar in front of us without any offer to clean or replace them, I had to ask him for a napkin to dry them before we picked them up. Upon entering the bar I asked one of the staff, a surly fellow, for the Wi-Fi code, he didn’t even look at me just pointed me back in the direction I came and muttered “reception” We were going to order room service for breakfast one morning but the sight of one the servers walking to one of the rooms with a tray of coffee and taking a few hits from his vape which he kept in his shirt pocket changed my mind! One of the blinds in the room wouldn’t close properly, close inspection revealed it had been broken and had a botched repair which was so obvious I don’t know why house keepers hadn’t reported it.

Wow , very nice hotel. Rooms are more like little cottages , felt right at home. Allowed in bar with dogs. Not cheap but huge portions and good quality food. Service was pretty good. Great setting , lits of atmosphere and real Cotswolda authentic feel. Reception staff lovely. Would like to go again

Fabulous inn situated on a gorgeous location. The staff were so helpful and friendly and it was the perfect start to our week travelling around the Cotswolds. Spotlessly clean and delicious food served in the restaurant for dinner and at breakfast. We will definitely book a return visit and recommend to others.

Amazing setting in the Cotswolds. The building is kept up immaculately and the staff are amazing and will do anything to make your stay special.

The rooms are excellent, clean, quiet and picturesque. The staff in general were also excellent. Must have been the busiest time of the year but the bar and restaurant staff are not very good. Takes ages to get served in the bar and then there is no where to sit as everything was reserved. When I tried to reserve the next day, I was spent a yarn about 17:30 to 18:30 etc.... etc.. The breakfast quality is poor but the quantity is fine. The bacon was like leather, the sausage a bit tough and scrambled egg runny.
