We have stayed in many areas of the Cotswolds, usually in cottages, but this was a gift via Freshweekends.com and we chose to stay in Painswick at the Cardynham House hotel. We were given a Grade 2 room - the Palm Beach - which was lovely, light and airy with a great (and comfortable) four poster bed - not kingsize... More

Tried to book a 2 night break at this Guest House for the end of April after finding they had availability. Was told I should have told them I was a Buyagift voucher holder and was then refused the booking with the consolation I could try 8 days before my intended trip. Why has this Guest House signed up with... More

Just back from a two night at this great hotel (bandB). The proprietor John was most welcoming and had thought of everything to ensure guests had a great stay. Excellent breakfast, which you order the night before, cooked to perfection. Unfortunately the bistro was not open for evening meals as the staff were on holiday, but we had an excellent... More

Check in was quick and efficient,... More

We stayed in the 'Old Tuscany' room, with a very nice four-poster bed, a large stone fireplace. The room was lovely, and was far better in appearance and feel than the pictures had suggested. The bathroom was small but modern and complemented the room nicely. The building itself is on the corner of a narrow street, with a dining room... More

We visited the 'Bisto' for a second time to celebrate my partners birthay having found this place last year. We booked by e-mail and the hotel owner sent us the menu and wine list. The staff made us feel very welcome and had decorated our table in rose petals and a very tasteful birthday balloon. The food was lovely and... More
