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.

Lovely place to stay.

The guest house was very clean and tidy with tasteful decor. The owners Mel and Trish are lovely people. Unfortunately Buyagift took 30% of the worth of the voucher away from the original price which was a voucher for £100. The business owners had to take a £30 payment from us which is poor, especially as the voucher was a gift! I don't think we will use Buyagift again!
One Night Classic Stay for Two with Breakfast

A very comfortable stay

We were given a room in the annexe next to The Malthouse, as we'd noticed they have a lot of live music. The room was perfect - comfortable and warm enough with a nice ensuite bathroom. Plenty of choice at breakfast in the main hotel, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Ironbridge is a pretty town with river walks and plenty to explore. Many thanks for a relaxing break!
