I have stayed at the Close Hotel, but am also a local to the area - actually having my wedding at the Close in May. I think the truth about this place lies in the middle of all the reviews… and I think people need to be very realistic about what they want/are expecting and select accommodation accordingly. Firstly, price... more

We stayed there this w/end. It was supposed to be a 'special' w/end alone (no kids) so we were looking forward, plus it is supposed to be one of the best Inn of the Old English. I did already had a bad experience once with the Old English Inn not too long ago, so I was expecting a much better... more

We stayed here for the night in early July. The rooms although large were very tired and in need of redecorating. The public parts of the hotel were very quaint and traditional. The main gripe was the noise. The walls and ceilings are so thin that you can hear the people coughing in the rooms above and to the sides.... more

A rare chance for a weekend away from the children - a well needed break - we chose the Close Inn because the website looked promising, the Cotswold's weren't too far down the M4, and the booking team claimed the hotel was the flagship venue for Old English Inns.

Our room was on the top floor of... more

From time to time we have lunch at the Close Hotel. We do not stay there because we only live a few miles away at Dursley. On occasions several years ago we were delighted to find that the lovely dining room had white table cloths and napkins. (and very good food as well!) Later when lunching we were disappointed to... more

We stayed at the close hotel for 1 night. The bar and lounge areas were lovely and we enjoyed a relaxing drink in the bar. We didn't eat in the restaurant so can't judge the evening food. We stayed in the Deco room and it was a little shabby, paint peeling off the walls etc. The room was also very... more

Where to begin!? This hotel is like a fairytale castle in the Cotswolds; complete with stone spiral staircases, huge wooden doors, open log fires and little hidden courtyards. A stunning property on many levels, both internally and externally, it should be noted that this hotel has won awards for its gardens and floral displays. We were treated like royalty from... more
