Breakfast
In spite of the breakfast menu saying eggs could be served in all forms, an omelette was not available, which suggests that there was no chef involved with the menu. I don't remember seeing any fish mentioned either. One real pleasure of staying in a hotel is a breakfast one would not cook for oneself, but which could be cooked on request.
Otherwise we appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the comfort overall.
Very nice but no cigar!
The hotel is very nice, immaculately clean throughout and looks newly decorated. A bit irritating to be asked on check in, in our case after a tiring 3 hour drive, where and what time we want every meal during our stay. The wait for the food in the dining room is excessive, over half an hour, and the portion sizes are meagre. When we raised the waiting point we were told all food is cooked to order so takes some time. With a dining room only a quarter full this simply won't wash. Also, the menu is the same every night. We only stayed 2 nights so it wasn't really a problem but a 4 night stay would be a different case. The full English breakfast was rather overcooked and unremarkable. How do you cook scrambled eggs to be completely tasteless and the consistency of sawdust? Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and would come again. The food side of things wants looking at.
Cotswold Gem
A warm welcome set the tone for a very relaxing 3-day stay. A clean, good sized room with a half bottle of bubbles and chocolates was a pleasant arrival treat. Bibury is a small village but full of typical Cotswold charm but like most villages of its kind can get quite busy, although late autumn is relatively quiet. For walkers, the area offers some decent routes, however, be aware, a route map available at the hotel is tricky to follow even for experienced walkers. The hotel has a comfortable, spacious bar and a peaceful reading room (complete with a lovely open fire). Overall, an enjoyable stay, just a couple of comments: parking is somewhat restricted and the bedroom pillows are somewhat firm , although housekeeping may be able to swap these to some a tad softer, apparently.
