Cricklade House Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

We had the dinnerBB and high tea offer. The dinner was lovely. A two course was £25 included in the offer or extra £5 for third course. Breakfast was also really good. Only disappointing meal was the high tea which surprised us after dinner and great choice at breakfast. Very sparse sandwiches, 2 tiny sandwiches and a small strange roll of salmon plus a variety of mini cakes and small scones. We expected more sandwiches and savoury choices for something charged at £15 pp. Tea was served overlooking beautiful grounds, unfortunately there were so many wasps it wasn’t much fun swatting them away, they should take the leaf out of a few hotel books by using fake nests or even jam jars with sugar in to entice them away! One poor lady with a wasp allergy ended up leaving her tea to escape. We weren’t offered refills. The hotel is advertised as a spa, we did not receive any information on spa treatments so can’t comment. It does have a pool. The pool was quite small and shallow. A few plastic chairs to sit on. Chilly! The changing facilities were small and dated, surprisingly there were no hair dryers to dry your hair which meant walking through the hotel with wet hair. No bags were available when I used it for wet costumes. The jacuzzi was very small and and squashed in one dark corner and not working when we visited. They did provide a towel. The room we had was not part of the main hotel and was unexpectedly large and very pleasant. We were very pleased with the size of it. It had an iron and hair dryer. However no tea and coffee making facilities are provided in the room which was a shame. We prefer shower cubicles and had a bath with shower over. The shower was not a power shower and was ok. Lovely breakfast staff, super ladies very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The evening dinner staff were young and clearly inexperienced. Bless em! Recommend Cirencester for a visit. less

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay at The Cricklade House Hotel. From the moment we arrived till driving away we were looked after by welcoming, helpful and very friendly staff. The setting in the Cotswold's countryside is lovely with beautiful views to enjoy. The food and drink were great, the homemade macaroons and cakes were just too good. We ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening and had a delicious meal. The bar is very well stocked and we enjoyed a couple of their many varieties of gin!. We also enjoyed the spa facilities at the hotel during our stay. We had booked a deluxe room and were allocated a garden room on arrival, this was very nice but we actually upgraded to a four poster room in the main house for a nominal charge. Both bedrooms were a good size and the beds very comfortable. Keep doing what you are doing Cricklade House Hotel, it was a fabulous place to stay for a relaxing weekend. less

Stayed here for a two night deal which included a dinner and an afternoon tea. We paid to upgrade our room as the first one was a bit small. Upgraded room was reasonably sized and comfortable with a king size bed. The breakfasts were excellent, the dinner was nice and the cream tea was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely conservatory across the back of the Hotel looked out over the Cotswolds. Furnishings were a bit tired but mostly comfortable. Our bathroom was adapted to suit anybody who wasn't able bodied. Small shower gel and small shampoo/conditioner so if you are fussy I would recommend you take your own. less

Lovely location and views overlooking surrounding golf course & countryside. Room was rather tired and dated but clean. We were exceptionally well looked after by Emma and her staff which made for an overall very pleasant stay. Restaurant food was excellent. less

We (7of us) arrived to find a lovely table set at the far end of the conservatory but unfortunately with the recent weather and being mostly ladies of a certain age, it was just too hot! The restaurant wasn’t too busy and was much cooler so we asked to move in there. The young staff were very good at relocating us. The afternoon tea was lovely. We had the vegetarian option and the sandwiches were great and varied, as were the cakes and loads of warm fresh scones. They catered for everything we asked for and the staff were very helpful, even with putting our friends cake (made by another friend) in the fridge until we asked for it. We had a few issues with a couple of flies and there were lots of wasps outside which kept us in, but this was nothing that the hotel could do about. They packaged up the left over cakes for us to take home too. I would definitely return and the main food menu looked good too. less
