Really good Stay in Cotswolds

clean room spacious room accommodating staff halal options
I found the room very clean and spacious. The bed was comfy, and I slept well . The staff catered to our dietary needs, they made the effort to order halal options for us. The hotel's location is in a quieter part of the Cotswolds.
The lights in the bedroom were inadequate to read (even to see across the room).
