Brailes Hotels & Accommodations

Super satisfied! The front desk was very friendly and polite, and the trip was placed in a room with two single beds and replaced with a double bed room. The view is perfect and I don't want to leave the window at all. The breakfast is very rich and the bacon with feldon characteristics is delicious. Dinner is relatively not my favorite type but the two-night service experience is also very good. Although I missed the official 2-stay 3 event, I was generally satisfied. Maybe I will come back on the anniversary later.

We stayed here using a golf break deal that they had on at the time - just over £100 each for a night in the hotel, 2 rounds of golf, a 2-course dinner and a breakfast. That alone was really good value for money! When we arrived, they upgraded our room for free as it hadn't been filled - first example of amazing customer service! The dinner menu and the food was amazing, and we have decided to come back just for the chance of ordering something different next time. We found the curry a bit too spicy and they offered us a free dessert to make up for it - second example of amazing customer service! The rooms are impeccable, spacious and clean. Good beds. The golf course is thoughtfully designed, although the greens are very unforgiving! We enjoyed the challenge. We did not use the spa facilities on our stay.

Just returned from a two night stay at the Swans Nest hotel and what can I say except - ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! From the moment I walked in, Kate on reception was wonderful! Went above and beyond to make me feel so welcome, I could tell then that this hotel was home away from home! I enjoyed a couple of drinks in the bar, served by Serena who again was wonderful! Very bubbly and positive and just made the evening that much better! Rooms are spacious, clean and tidy! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anybody! I can’t wait to return!

I booked this hotel for a weekend break to celebrate our friends 40th wedding anniversary, and having read some of the recent reviews I was a tad worried to say the least , so here’s my take and opinion including other reviews . During the booking process and subsequent communication with the reception and booking staff , I can only say it was exceptional and first class . On arrival we were warmly greeted and checked in to our rooms , the approach to the hotel is very nice , reception was spacious and clean . Our two rooms were next door to each other and both were spacious and clean ( no sign of cob webs or dirty items as other reviews has stated ) one of the rooms ( our friends ) did have an issue with one flickering light and one bedside light not working plus only one hand towel. My friend reported this and a Bath towel was supplied straight away ( no hand towel available) and the reception did day she had no maintenance on site , but would endeavour to get the lights addressed the next day , unfortunately this did not happen . However as my friends said it wasn’t the end of the world and didn’t detract from their stay but it would need addressing before new guests used the room . Breakfast was buffet style and was good it had a cooked option , which was replenished quite frequently so sometimes a slight wait for all options to be available but imo didn’t cause an issue and meant all cooked items were fresh, toast, cereal , pastries, fruit juices and teas and coffee all available too. On the Friday we had dinner in the restaurant after pre drinks in the bar . The bar area and drinks were fine albeit some items requested were not available, no Tia Maria , no floater coffees ( post dinner ) , prices were the unusual hotel type prices 20-40% dearer than pubs so no shock there ( other reviews questioned prices ) The dinner in the restaurant was very good, food was a good quality and well prepared and presented ( again based on previous reviews I wasn’t expecting this ) if you read any of my other reviews you will know I am a foodie so I only praise food when it’s justified. Service was good until the dessert ( found out later , some agency staff were used in the restaurant) we ordered a hot desert but wanted ice cream with it as well , so effectively ordered two desserts for three of us , and that seemed to confuse one of the servers who grunted when he only brought out one ice cream dessert , when we asked for the other two , however he was in the minority and the rest of the servers and staff were excellent. On the Saturday evening I had booked a local restaurant for dinner ( see separate review ) and we used the local taxi firm ‘ Chris’s ‘ who is partly retained by the hotel , and he delivered us and collected us from our restaurant at a set hotel rate ( very reasonable). On checking out I had an in-depth discussion with the duty manageress about our experience and how much we had enjoyed it albeit with a couple of hiccups.

I recently stayed at The Kings arms Hotel for two nights as I initially went to visit Jeremy Clarkson's farm but also took the time to explore chat Chipping Norton has to offer. My stay there was superb and couldn't really fault it. It stated that it wasn't doing food so off the cuff plans were made for that, but the stay at the hotel itself was lovely. I booked the triple room with the bath which was so nice after the drive there. The Room is a great size with plenty of tea and coffee to keep you going and the comfort of the room was second to none. It was clean and tidy which is all you can really ask for when you are looking for a place to get your head down basically. The staff were pleasant and very welcoming each time they seen you and the landlady took extra time it was felt having a chat with you which was great. There is plenty of space in the car area and it has a pool table and dartboards towards the rear of the pub. Again that itself was clean tidy and inviting with a warm environment and pleasant/ welcoming atmosphere. Drinks are fairly priced and the land lady knows how to measure her spirits and mixer perfectly. I'd highly recommend staying here and would do so again time and time again.

We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Stratford for a couple of days. We like to come to the theatre a couple of times a year if we can to see the RSC. Could not miss the opportunity to see All's well that ends well. It's not performed that often. We have stayed in this hotel several times with mixed feelings. We have had great stays and some not so good. This time it was good. It was busy due to several corporate seminars being held at the same time. These seemed well organised and didn't affect our stay. We had booked breakfast for both days. The first morning was busy for breakfast but we where promptly sat at a very nice table overlooking the gardens. It is a full buffy service which was very good. Our waitress Clair was exceptional attentive and very pleasant. This was not the case on the following morning. We again had the table overlooking the garden. Claire the previous day had asked if we would like anything cooked from the kitchen. Boiled or pouched eggs omelette etc. This morning I had to find someone to take my order. I will not name her but, all she had to say was I'll be over in a minute. She came next to our table and set it for the next guests. Ignored us completely. After some time I spoke with a senior member of staff who didn't seem to acknowledge what I was saying, only telling a waiter to get me a pouched egg. Not the best experience I have had at the Crown Plaza. But all's well that ends well.

We stayed here 3 weeks ago and wanted to bring friends from Scotland to visit Stratford this last weekend, but unfortunately the Arden was fully booked. We came for dinner, as we knew how good it had been when we were guests. All I can say is fabulous! The restaurant & bar staff were all so pleasant & attentive. Alex was one of our waiters and has to be one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met - he read that our group had a sense of humour & made us all giggle. He’s a massive credit. The food was just ace, and I definitely recommend the scallops to start, and the Ribeye. We’ll definitely be back, thanks all 🙂

This town was outside our plan and gave us an unexpected surprise. It is a beautiful town, don’t miss it. The hotel room is not big, and there is free parking in the yard behind the hotel. The bathroom is a bit short. My husband is 189cm tall and has to lower his head and cannot stand up straight. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Fortunately, we didn't have to carry too many things up the stairs when we drove. The soundproofing is not very good, you can hear the conversation next door. The breakfast was great and the restaurant manager was very welcoming! Will go here next time.

Very clean, recently refurbished accommodation. Bed very comfortable and linen clean. Tea and coffee available, with hairdryer also available.A very good nights sleep. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location for our meeting.
