No restaurant, and not good value

Restaurant was not open - which was the main reason we picked this motel. Signage for a gym is false as is it under construction. Taps in bathroom leaked. Unclear parking caused confusion for some guests. Not good value, and we would not stay here again.

Comfortable and convenient

The two negatives- the restaurant which motivated our booking was closed both nights we were there and the information was out of date. But the service was good, help with operating tv . Comfortable room and close by car to central Cbd.

A property with an old world elegance. Checkin was exceptionally easy. We found we were upgraded to a spa room which was more spacious than expected. We ended up with a 2 bathroom suite with a sitting room. Bed was comfy and the bedroom cosy on a cold night outside. Little things needed maintenance - a dripping tap, one TV didnt operate, nor did one air conditioner, but when you have 2 of each what does it matter? We enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and comfortable. Thank you to the staff.

Cotswold has old world charm & plenty of character. The manager & staff are very hospitable & accommodating. It is walking distance to the local shops with a bakery (serves great coffee & breakfast treats) & laundromat within 3 mins walk.
