Weekend Break

Excellent on all counts apart from the grumpy, unfriendly, rude Manager at reception who also served breakfast.

He made us feel unwelcome.

A proper hotel

Delightful weekend, helpful staff and service, delicious food - what more could you need?

Corse lawn house hotel

This was a gift for my birthday and we had an amazing time. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Food was amazing we ate in the restaurant. Breakfast was a veritable feast and set us up for the day.

Corse lawn

Wonderful stay! The room was fantastic, the service and staff was first class. Other reviews have said the decor is tired and dated, but I thought it was lovely and as an old country house should be. It was clean and friendly and the homemade biscuits in the room were great and very welcome!

Fabulous Independently Run Cotswolds Hotel

This hotel is a real gem. It is in a fairly quiet area of the Cotswolds but with many larger towns such as Cheltenham very nearby.

It is not your usual chain hotel so you need to appreciate that it will be a little different to other places. It is family run and they are passionate about what they do. The food and wine lists are both excellent.

Just do not expect the typical corporate style and embrace the individuality of a very traditional hotel. There are so few of these left now, it is well worth appreciating this one.

Lovely Character Hotel

This was a lovely hotel with character and ideally located for visiting the Cotswolds. It is slightly aged but this is part of its charm.
We just wanted a relaxing break with places to visit and this was fulfilled with many beautiful Cotswold towns, villages and National Trust places near by.
We booked a special short break, which included dinner on both nights. The meals were excellent and there is a good choice with an extensive wine list.
Our only criticism would be that the waiter poured by large amounts of the wine into the glass when we would have preferred to take our time enjoying such an expensive choice! Staff would benefit from having training on how to pour wines and perhaps have a range of glasses for the right wines. This may sound 'snobby' but it does make a difference! If you've ordered a good wine you want to savour it and make it last.
Our meal on our second night also felt a bit rushed with the main course being brought out almost immediately after our starter plates had been cleared.
Overall, a very pleasant stay and we would stay again.

Relaxed atmosphere

Only an overnight stay but we were made to feel most welcome. The hotel has a warm and relaxed atmosphere and the food was very good.

R and R night away

Corse Lawn was this years annual night away before Christmas with two other couples. This is year 5 and we always try somewhere different.

Corse Lawn did not disappoint. I ll start with the reception and check in. It was straight forward and no issues, possibly the member of staff didn t quite get our English humour but everything was done correctly . We were shown to our rooms which were the standard doubles. We were pleasantly surprised. Each had character and individual decor. They were more like suites with seating and desks. The bath was a luxurious size. The fruit bowl, homemade shortbread and loose leaf tea and coffee pot with real milk kept in the fridge was a treat.

Before dinner we moved to the lounge and sat round the open fire. Staff were attentive if a little formal at times. Shortly before our table booking time we were served appetisers. The wine list could have kept me entertained by the fire all evening. It is beautifully written, honest, knowledgeable and the passion lifted off the pages. I feel I learnt quite a lot from it. The menu had some interesting and hearty choices. The food was perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and we were made to feel comfortable. After the meal we returned to the lounge where we were served coffee or tea and petits four.

Breakfast once again did not disappoint. Freshly cooked and the quality of the ingredients was obvious. There happened to be an important rugby match on and staff were happy to accommodate a small party of guests in the bar to watch. A few other went for a walk round one of the routes given in the room welcome pack. The weather had been atrocious the day before so unfortunately it was a bit more like a paddle so we admitted defeat and returned to the fire to read Sunday papers and the coffee table book giving some background about the Hind family.

All in all a splendid 24hrs. Fabulous food, lovely rooms and great company. We re an active group and given the weather was so poor on the Saturday when we arrived we took the opportunity to look into Gloucester. The Cathedral was interesting but the rest felt a little run down, the torrential rain probably didn t help. If we could book some good weather so we could get out for a decent walk I think we d definitely book again, or indeed for another 1 night stay just to enjoy the food again.

My biggest compliment would be that at no point were we made to feel like second class guests given that we booked on special deal . Other nights away that we ve had we have been treated differently to other guests, even having to dine in a separate dining room or given different menus. Corse Lawn staff gave us the same attentive service as every other guest and made us feel welcome.
