We have just recently stayed at this hotel, and what a shambolic place. The place does not look like the pictures shown, the rooms are all terrible, no way this is a 4* hotel, more like 2! Breakfast staff was rude, you have to fill a form the night before and if you want room service you have to tick... more

A wonderful hotel run very badly! No idea on how to run a business. After 3 visits we thought we knew what the hotel was about, sadly not! A great opportunity sadly lost by a lack of business acumen. Whilst we can produce happy photos can anyone really want a place run by people who cant speak English and produce... more

My wife booked the "pool" room as a treat as I'd been away for a long time, on the recommendation of a friend. When we got there, it wasn't as in the pictures on the website and not as connected to the room as is made out. Also, there was a serious parking problem as the hotel does not have... more

An amazing hideaway, one of Britian's best kept secrets! We spent a lovely week on honeymoon here sharing our time between the Dovecote Room at the top to the private Pool Room outside (thanks to Wayne for carrying our cases top to bottom and back again!!). The sheets were to die for, we didn't want to leave our rooms, but... more

Super room, (The Tuscany) fabulous evening meal and a superb breakfast. friendly helpful staff, we would defintitely return. The Royal Oak next door is a cracking little pub and a fantastic light lunch just round the corner at Oliva's too !! Painswick is a beautiful place to stay for a short break, really looking forward to visiting again. more

I took my wife to Cardynham House to stay in the Pool Room for her birthday. We had a fantastic time, the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, the building quaint. It had a few rough edges, but less than the Savoy in London when I stayed there last year. The most amazing part though was the Pool Room- the... more

Had read some variable reviews of this hotel but loved the idea of the pool room so went ahead and booked it anyway for the first couple of nights of our honeymoon. On the plus side, the room was lovely, very spacious and welcoming and all very clean too. Staff were friendly and the breakfasts were fine. Though unusual, it... more

Cardynham House is very charming. We stayed in ‘Old Tuscany’ which had a lovely four poster bed, modern, good sized & very clean shower room and pretty outlook. This room was very rustic. Its hand painted ceiling & walls, crooked floors and odd shaped windows made it a real one off. If you’re after city chic then this is not... more

My first impression when walking into the reception in Cardynham House was not the same as when I walked in later that day, or the following morning. The attention to detail all around the house was incredible. The lounge was peaceful, overlooking a small garden area and stocked with board games and magazines for lazy afternoons. We stayed in the... more
