I visited Number Four with my best friends for a belated birthday celebration last week.
When we arrived initial impressions were that the hotel looked nice but the location wasn't wow. From the minute we walked in the door we were transported to another world.
The hotel was warm and cosy, beautifully decorated and the staff at reception greeted us with very friendly smiles.
These friendly smiles were a feature throughout our stay from the staff and the owner, nothing was too much trouble and they all took the time to chat to us which we loved. We had requested that we watch the x factor final in the bar before dinner and they went out of their way to accomodate us which we really appreciated.
We went to neighbouring stow and bourton on the water by car, both were only 5 mins away.
The food in the restaurant was amazing and good value. We all loved what we ate without exception. Breakfast was also very high quality.
All in all whilst this hotel isn't situated in what you might call an idyllic country spot in the Cotswolds, it is very close to two beautiful villages, the restaurant is amazing and the staff really make it. I wouldn't hesitate in returning or recommending it to others.
