Warum Gäste es lieben

- Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners in every room
- American diner on-site with killer burgers and shakes
Kurzfassung: It’s a glorified roadside motel next to a BP gas station, but once you step inside, it’s genuinely chic.
Bewertet von @wherejesstravels: I was blown away by the value here. For £45, you get interiors that feel like a members' club and a diner that serves incredible comfort food. It's the perfect stylish base for a Cotswolds road trip without the usual price tag.
