The Rectory Hotel

This was meant to be a lovely birthday dinner for two, but ended up being a bit of fiasco. It was a late booking (8.45pm) and they were obviously very busy. Our table was not ready when we arrived. We had a drink in the bar but it took an hour before our starters arrived, before they'd even taken a wine order, and then almost immediately they wanted to clear our starters before we had a chance to eat them. It was chaotic and rushed, after a long wait to get to our table and give our order. The food was alright for the price but it was hard to enjoy under pressure. The staff were pleasant, just busy and in some disarray. We will go back, but not on a Saturday night!

Easy five star review. Beautiful rooms in beautiful surroundings and solid breakfast included. The sunrise through our bedroom window was exquisite. The dinner service at the restaurant was a bit confusing but overall a great experience, definitely coming back.

A great base for exploring the cotswolds. We stayed two nights in a “Big Room” with a claw foot tub - it was great for two people. The breakfast is delicious with both continental and cooked options. Also recommend having dinner at the hotel one night with a drink in the bar to start.

It’s such a shame the service is so chaotic as the food is consistently good. Such a slow lunch on Sunday that we gave up on pudding and went home. The menu is great but there’s a real problem with how delayed the food is and trying to catch the eye of a member of staff to order drinks is annoying we run an air BnB locally and couldn’t recommend this to guests which is such a shame as it could be brilliant

Took two friends last night to the restaurant and had an appalling experience: service was slow and chaotic, beef was very rare when we had ordered medium; sent it back for more cooking and it came back same as before. Overnight, two of us suffered food poisoning. When I called this morning, the lady on the phone confronted me with process: "you need to speak to the person in charge of dealing with food poisoning and the restaurant" as if this is a regular occurrence!! There was no apology until I asked for it. I was too ill this morning to argue, but leave this review so no one else suffers what we did. Go to this hotel at your own peril. I am a returning guest, and the service was never up to par but facilities were OK. I had no idea it has all gone south so badly.

Four of us went for a birthday celebratory lunch. Unfortunately a little bit disappointing. An extremely limited menu, the portions for the main courses were small, but what we were served was very good. These were let down by the desserts which again were extremely limited, very small portions and nothing special at all. Very overpriced for what we were offered, would hesitate to go back.

We had a 3 nights stay at the Rectory which is a true gem! The hotel is so beautiful and refined in every details. The cuisine is just amazing. We had dinner twice there and every single bite was exceptional! The rooms are comfortable (the standard ones are a bit small unless you travel with a carry on only), the bigger ones are juste perfect. The place is quiet and very well located to tour the Cotswolds. The staff is very kind. I would have loved staying a full week!

Lovely place with a great sister pub across the road. Had a very good Sunday lunch in lovely surroundings. Wife and daughter enjoyed the outdoor. Lunch time service was poor as the 12.5% service charge is already on the bill so little incentive to look after guests. IMO. Service was slow at best and we literally had to beg for drinks on what was a very hot day. Lovely place though and great food. Would return.
