Our latest reviews... Trip Advisor - 30th January We booked a night away with some Red Letter Day vouchers we had been given. The hotel wasn't too easy to find with the postcode...but our sat nav is rubbish so it may not be the case if you have a decent one. The hotel is in a beautiful little village about ten to fifteen minutes drive from Cirencester itself which is well worth a visit. The hotel is cosy and welcoming the rooms are spot less. We ate in the hotel the food was lovely but pricey. It was worth the money though. We would recommend it. Booking.com - 24th January Very cosy and inviting. Great staff. Great food and great location. Trip Advisor - 23rd January We booked a VERY last minute break at the New Inn as we needed a couple of days "away from everything" we certainly got it. This Inn was a wonderful find and we will definitely be returning as we love to visit the Cotswolds. Very welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere and excellent food. Trip Advisor - 15th January Ideal romantic break away -We have just returned for a second time to stay at the New Inn and weren't disappointed. Located in the beautiful and peaceful village of Coln St Aldwyns, the New Inn offers a romantic and relaxing break away from it all. Each room is individually decorated and on both visits we've been pleased with the unique feel to each room. A selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolates ensured we warmed up nicely after taking a brief walk by the river outside the hotel. On our first visit we stayed in a superior room which was spacious with a big bathroom and tub. This time the room was as equally well furnished however it wasn't a superior room and so was much smaller. Also, there was no bath and only a shower. The shower was large and one of the ‘rain forest' styles so it was slightly more luxurious than my shower at home. I would personally request a room with a bath when we next return. We stayed as part of a dinner, bed & breakfast deal which made it excellent value for a night away. Dinner was delicious and there was a small but varied selection of food to choose from. Certainly something there for everyone! The quality of the food was fantastic, local foods and all really fresh. Breakfast was the same, with a good continental selection of cereal, pastries, fruit and yoghurt. We also then went for the full English which didn't disappoint. My own slight criticism here was that if you ordered the eggs Benedict there was an additional cost. There is a bar in the same building as the dining area however we didn't make use of it and instead chose to relax in our room with a bottle of wine after dinner. The bar seemed busy with both guests and locals and the atmosphere seemed to be quite cosy. There are numerous tables outside so I can imagine in the summer it's a great place to unwind in the sunshine. The staff were all friendly and polite at all times and seemed more than happy to do whatever was needed to make our stay a good one. Having stayed at 3 other Hillbrooke Hotels it's great to see that they all maintain a customer focused approach to guests. We always choose Hillbrook Hotels for short breaks away as they always provide something a little more unique and quirky than other hotels. I would highly recommend this as a base to explore the Cotswolds although on both visits we've been so taken with the charm of the hotel that we've tended not to venture too far! It's ideal for a romantic break from it all. We had absolutely no phone signal so it was great to really get away from daily life for 24 hours. There is free wifi in all rooms though so civilisation is never too far if you need it!
Other guest reviews.. December - Booking.com The hotel is located in a peaceful and beautiful place. The room was very clean with great tea/ coffee facilities, we enjoyed them. The staff were friendly and helpful. 1st November - Trip Advisor Perfect hotel in a romantic location -We have just returned from a one night stay at the Hotel. Service good. Our heating was off and we asked them to look at it. They did, and couldn't fix it, but put a small electric heater in our room. Nice touch. Hotel itself is charming. The village is lovely and definitely a great setting for a one or two night stay although you have to drive a little to get to any life... The rooms are great, luxurious and spacious. We went for an upgrade and it was a good option.... apart from the fact that our room was above reception so at 7.30am when they arrived at the office we could hear the phone ringing! The food was good. I had a steak but they had a special game menu which my girlfriend tried. Probably a little ambitious to have a Hare Rissotto on the menu! They also did their own beer which was nice. 27th October - Trip Advisor We visited the New Inn for dinner in October 2011 as part of a week long trip to The Cotswolds. The dining room is pleasant, sisal carpets, warm tones, soft lighting and ambient mood. We tried the smoked trout pate (gorgeous!), the evening fish special and the Old Spot pork, all of which was very good. There was no childen's menu, but they did a half portion of gammon and chips, which went down well. Two adult courses, a kids meal, a bottle of wine and coffees was £105. Earlier in the week we went to the Swan at Southrop, which was fanstastic and for three courses this was only £5 more, so although The New Inn was good, I had expected it to be slightly cheaper. All in all, highly recommended and I would go again. 18th October - Trip Advisor Gorgeous little place. Perfect for a romantic break - I stayed here with my husband for the 2 night weekend break. We had a really lovely relaxing time , it was just what we were looking for! 16th October - Trip Advisor A great place to stay - stayed here on impulse and so glad I did. Not may hotels or B&B's will accommodate dogs and this was the bonus for me, So I was able to go away for a weekend away and go for great walks with my cocker spaniel Bruno :-) The walk to Bibury is a must. 2nd October - Booking.com What a wonderful welcome we had, no waiting, room was great!! Food was lovely...could not fault staff. Thankyou 27th September - Trip Advisor We stayed at The New Inn, Coln St Aldwyns for one night whilst attending a wedding nearby. Simply lovely! Very quaint and homely. The staff are polite and attentive and very helpful. We checked in around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and I asked if they could organise some non pork sausages (any other meat and not vegetarian!) for my breakfast the next morning. Alex checked with the chef and said no promises but they would order something and hopefully it would come the next morning with their food order. Well the next morning I had venison sausages no less! The room we had was more than comfortable with large bed and ample room for the cot provided for our little boy. Bathroom was a little dated with no window and shower curtain but fine nonetheless. For a short stay in a lovely part of Gloucestershire I would heartily recommend! 21st September - Booking.com Lovely Inn in an idyllic village with all the comforts and a lovely bed. Great breakfast from 8am and free wifi 20th September - Trip Advisor Booked last minute for a wedding we went to nearby and it was a super affordable, per room rate. Love this place! So cute with the ivy turning to red on the front of the building. 18th September - Booking.com The Inn is absolutely picturesque and our room was beautifuuly decorated. The location was ideal with walks around the village and neighbouring villages immediately available. August - Late Rooms Atmospheric late summer break! 17th August - Trip Advisor If you are looking for excellent accommodation, luxurious beds, wonderful food and great hospitality then look no further than The New Inn at Coln Aldwyn. We've just returned from a three night break, stayed in Room Seven and could not fault the place. Highly recommended. 9th August - Trip Advisor We wandered across to the New Inn last night through the gentle hills. Empty fields of grass and barley swaying on the breeze in the evening sunlight seducing us towards New Inn scallops on black pudding and pork tenderloin with a garlic and ginger coating. As the honey coloured cottages came into view, the New Inn mingled among them on the main street, beckoning us in. The sleek flickering housemartins soared across the treetops like spitfires in pursuit of an enemy, and sang 'crisp chilled french sauvignon' whilst the lone Kestrel hovered for a second or two before diving decisively towards a delicate cheeseboard with accompanying glass of port. The evening drew in as we coveted a couple of fresh coffees in the comfortable and welcoming bar, having departed the relaxing and intimate restaurant with unobtrusive but excellent service from the willing staff. An empty glass of french Merlot lingered on the table pleading to be resupplied but we relented, determined to finish on a high. We wandered back along the banks of the meandering Coln, sheep peering out from the evening gloom as a swan nestled down for the night in the reeds. Perfect. 19th July - Trip Advisor A magical peaceful stay - Just returned from the beautiful New Inn at Coln. What a perfect location and memorable trip. The whole experience was fabulous. The food is out of this world and the service excellent. We recommend the New Inn to anyone looking for a quiet romantic break especially if u r a foodie! Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful short holiday.
