70th Birthday gift

Afternoon tea with champagne for two at this wonderful venue was a delight. The staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The savoury sandwiches and cakes were delicious and the choice of tea was extensive. The decor was tropical and the bone china matched the wallpaper! We will both be celebrating here in the future!

Fantastic hotel to explore the beautiful Cotswolds

We stayed for 2 nights in a lovely room. We arrived on Sunday and sampled the Sunday lunch - which was so good, so we were looking forward to the breakfsdt the next morning. We was not disappointed - the full Cotswold breakfast was delicious. The breakfast room was such a joy and the gentlemen who was there each morning, made sure our breakfast met our expectations! The Inn for all Seasons is a really gem and we will definitely be returning.
