The Maytime Inn is an idyllic country Inn off the beaten path in a beautiful area of the Cotswolds
The location is in the middle of farm and pasture land and could not be more peaceful and inviting
The food is adequate but really inconsequential because the location is so great
We stayed in the Farriers Room, which was beautifully appointed, though a bit too tight for me
Pros
Wonderful staff
Great service
Beautiful garden
Outdoor food and beverage serving in wonderful setting
Nice (small) bathroom
Nice water flow and high shower head
Nice continental breakfast
Cons
Very, very teeny tiny rooms
No place for a suitcase never mind two except on the bed
Very slow wifi
Very, very small shower for adult males over 5'8"
Did I mention the rooms were very very small?
For European and U.K. Travelers where less is good enough, the size of the rooms won't matter. For US travelers who are used to more, two of these rooms could fit in the typical too small hotel/motel room. For a weekend there would be no problem but for travelers with suitcases on extended stays in the U.K., it's just a little too small to be comfortable. We had to pack up our suitcases to get the bed made which doesn't make traveling relaxing
That being said, the Maytime Inn is quite a wonderful place to enjoy. I'm extremely critical about things like ample plugs for electronics, bathroom counter space, workspace for laptops, shower head height, plush towels, a great shower, high toilets, etc to name a few things that make a stay comfortable to me.
The location, people, gardens and cleanliness make the Maytime Inn a great value for the money and a place I would not hesitate to stay again. read more
