"Lovely stay, perfect location! The motel and diner were both great and felt like a special night away on our way to an event without breaking the bank. The Dyson and GHDs in the room were a snazzy edition. Only downside was no kettle in the room which meant having to dash outside the room in your pyjamas for your morning cuppa."

"Excellent venue for a short break in the Cotswolds. Room was very good, with a comfortable bed and a pleasant outlook. Weddings didn't impinge on the privacy and comfort of others. Breakfast was substantial, and staff cleared tables quickly. We are in the Old Boathouse and enjoyed three pleasant meals. Staff throughout the complex were very friendly and courteous."
