This is a brilliant place and is like stepping back into time.  It has terrific ambiance, and the food is great.

The service was excellent, and the ambiance--both stylish and inviting--felt like a hidden gem. We had the gnocchi, Sunday roast, drinks, and panna cotta--everything was delicious. The panna cotta was a bit overwhelming on the lemon flavor for me, but I think that is how its intended to be. The boutique hotel setting adds to the charm, with a spacious front and back patio tucked away from the crowds.

Gayle and I recently enjoyed a pleasant Lunch on the Patio at the Dial House Hotel. The weather…read morewas warm and sunny, and best of all our table provided a buffer from the Bank Holiday crowds at Bourton-on-the-Water. We can't recall what Gayle ordered, while my choice was some sort of tandoori chicken dish. My pint of local beer and her class of chardonnay were also at the table. Everything tasted good, even more so with a relaxing atmosphere and interesting table neighbors. Service was pleasant, but oddly fast on the food coming out, while slow for the drinks. Rest rooms were available inside the hotel for customers, which is kind of a big thing when you're within a very crowded downtown.

Also very friendly staff. We didn't feel like in a "hotel", but like being guests in a mansion. The restaurant too is worth a visit.

What a wonderful surprise…read more This is a Best Western Hotel (posh type of BW though). They have a Spanish charcoal oven for the steaks and what a difference that makes. Obviously the meat needs to be good, it is, but cooking in this way just elevates a good steak to an excellent steak. Anyway, starters was a modern take on a prawns cocktail; fresh and mighty fine. I've never had a few large battered prawns nestling on top of a standard prawn cocktail but it works! The main course was an 8oz rib steak (plenty big enough; I tried the 10oz sirloin but it's too lean) with chunky chips and a fiery pepper sauce. Mushrooms and tomatoes are also there. I can't offer any negative points. Really top notch food. The house wine is also good enough. It's worth a go!

This is a 66-bedroom hotel, conveniently situated right in the heart of Cirencester. Located in an…read morehistoric building, it has been modernised to give a boutique hotel feel. You get a sense of history as soon as you enter, because just in front of the reception desk there is a glass panel in the floor, which reveals a piece of Roman mosaic below. We visited for a two-night break in February. Our stay was a little coloured by the fact that the hotel had gone into administration (but was still functioning). One downside was that we were not able to take advantage of the booked car parking, and had to use a public car park about five minutes walk away. This was not a particular problem, because we were able to use the drop off space by the hotel front door to drop our luggage, but it did mean we had a five minute walk to get to the car. On the plus side, the hotel is right in the middle of the market Square, so it is very convenient for visiting this attractive and historic market town. The room was very comfortable, with a generous king size double bed, although the mattress and pillow was a little hard for my liking. We had a huge shower room, with nice toiletries provided, as well as bathrobes, fluffy white towels, and bath slippers. The room also had TV and a kettle and coffee making machine so we could make our own beverages in the morning. The corridor outside had quite squeaky floors (typical of an old building), but this did mean that we got a little noise from the other guests. We also had a room at the back of the hotel, which meant we had a view of another part of the hotel. Breakfast was a buffet, with hot dishes to order. The Continental buffet was a little bit limited, but I suspect this was a facet of the hotel going into administration, as there were not a lot of guests staying when we were there. There was a sufficient choice of cereals, fruit, and pastries for our needs, but it wasn't as bigger choice as many hotels we have stayed in. The cooked English breakfasts (one vegetarian) were perfectly decent, and generous in quantity, and cooked to order. The restaurant was not open during our stay, but we were in the low season. This was not a problem, as there are plenty of options for eating within a short walk at the hotel. But it means we cannot review the evening menu. Staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout.

I wouldn't suggest a Sunday stay to enjoy the city as everything is closed by 5:00 pm. You can get a great deal for a Sunday stay on the hotel website, which is what I did because it worked with my travel. I didn't know the entire town closed up, but would return for a Sunday stay anyway if they offered the same deal. Rooms are clean, bath tubs/shower large, and the food very good. The staff are really helpful and make you feel welcome.
