"A lovely cottage with history and character. As mentioned in the listings it would not be suitable for someone very tall or with difficulties. Facilities are excellent everything you need supplied. Parking is free but beware spaces can be all taken - it states 23 hours stay - no return for an hour, so be aware there is a car park attendant around! Cottage is within easy reach of the town and Abbey. A lovely stay"

Top Athelstan Museum Hotel Reviews

The Close Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fantastic."

The Snooty Fox

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was excellent. Hotel character and style was great Staff very helpful We had a great time at the hotel"

The Ormond At Tetbury

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great"

Hare And Hounds Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has a very welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. Greeted by the friendly reception team, your requirements and expectations are reviewed carefully. There are no lifts in the hotel so if you are on the 2nd floor you may have to ask for assistance with your luggage. Rooms overlooking the extensive gardens are preferred, as there can be some road noise from rooms at the front of the main building. The rooms are comfortable with the usual basic amenities. Dogs are allowed in the outside cottages and are welcome in the lounge and public bar if they can hold it together! You can eat in either the hotel restaurant or the bar, but the menus are currently a bit restrictive on choice, but the food is good and well served. This hotel is popular for weddings and conferences so can be busy at times, so worth asking when you book to save time and avoid disappointment if you wanted a quiet relaxing stay. There is adequate parking and some of the cottages have dedicated parking areas. The hotel is ideally situated on the main Bath Road giving good access to Westonbirt Arboretum, Highgrove and Tetbury. It can be difficult to get a taxi, so booking in advance is essential. The hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere, and weather permitting there is extensive seating on the garden patio area to enjoy a drink and a meal."

The Old Bell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, but wonder how warm it will be in Winter as only single glazing. Staff very good. Breakfast was good, but standard coffee served was only just passable. I think you could pay extra and get a ‘proper’ coffee though!"

Pettifers Freehouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Pettifers Freehouse Hotel! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with the best customer service, it felt like they couldn’t have done more for us! We have a little toddler and was giving us recommendations for parks close by etc. The vibe and design of the hotel was very unique and stunning! The room was great, the bed was so comfortable! The bathroom was a bit dated but that doesn’t affect the use. The dinner was so yummy and really good prices for what you got, also the breakfast was just as amazing. Overall absolutely lovely stay and definitely would love to come back!"
