Looking to book a weekend in the Cotswolds. Bibury Court Hotel looks nice, but the restaurant is not listed in Good Food Guide or Hardens, although it has won some local award.

Anyone eaten there? Keen to stay somewhere with decent food. Or alternative options in the Cotswolds? Lords of the Manor looks too expensive...

I was at Lords a few weeks back, it's a nice place even if it is a bit pricey. Lovely village too. Stupid name for a hotel though. Sounds like a heavy metal band.

Allium at Fairford is within reach, recently won the GFG area award. You could head into cheltenham for Le champignon sauvage or Lumiere, or Kingham Plough at Kingham, theres a thread about that one.

Have a look at Cotswold House Hotel in Chipping Camden. It was excellent when I stayed a few years back, still has a good reputation and the food in the hotel as well as several pubs in the town was pretty good.

The food is good at Bibury Court. Head Chef Anthony Ely held a star at Bono's hotel in Ireland (can't remember its name). The only problem I ever have with the place is that the bedrooms don't live up to expectations- that said they are more reasonably priced than other "Boutique" hotels nearby such as Lords, Lower Slaughter Manor (ouch) or Barnsley House (double ouch)

People tend to be split about the bedrooms, some don't care- its a beautiful Jacobean Grade I listed country house which pretty much looks like it hasn't been touched by modern day- but that's other peoples issue with it.

Really don't know why its not in the GFG!!

Edited to say: Should mentioned had a lovely meal here in January this year.

Thanks for the responses. Can probably live with the rooms being unspectacular. Agree that Lords of the Manor is a ridiculous name for a hotel, although it does look nice!
