Great place to stay extremely polite and helpful staff. Breakfast was a lovely experience too. If i had to find a minus point it would be no black out blinds or curtauns in the rooms so as soon as the sun came up the venetian blinds hid nothing, but im just clutching at straws here. Great base for our Cotswolds weekend. Thank you Cricklade House!

Lovely setting to stay in. The staff and cleanliness were exceptional. We stayed in a courtyard room so it was very quiet. The room itself was very nice, however, it is in need of on update. The bathroom has rusted pipe work which was not great on the eye. Some TLC is definitely needed and would make the stay that much better.

Fairford break

We had a nice large room with sensible bedside lights. Nice big towels for showering and also for use at the pool. (Staff didn't know the length of the pool). Only had one meal at the hotel as we were out the other night. 2 for 1 pizza offer. Toilet paper could have been better quality given the cost of the room.

A pleasant English country hotel, close to the Cotswolds. A little dated and needing some TLC in parts, but friendly staff. Food and drinks expensive for the standard. (Ps this review is based on us being used to top quality 5 * hotels, so wanted to put it in to context)
