The Petwood Hotel epitomises the Fawlty Towers era of British hotel experiences. The staff really are ambivalent about the need for customers, it's a throw back to the 70s. The hotel is filled with dusty relics of a bye gone era, and that includes the staff. This is a shame as there is so much history and interesting stories about... More

Probably best to start by explaining the review title ...... I am the grandson of a Dambuster. This hotel was used by 617 Squadron during WWII and contains lots of Dambuster memorabilia so has special meaning to me. If I were to rate the hotel based on nostalgia/sentimentality then its a 5*. Well worth a stay to look at all... More

Our stay at the Petwood hotel was brief but enjoyable and opened a window into the past when we were able to look through the Officer's mess memorabilia display relating to the era when this building served as a billet for RAF Officers. Food and service were excellent and the hotel was quiet and in a very peaceful location.

We took some of our family for a meal on Saturday May 4th 2013 booked the table for 6 people for 7pm. When we got there table wasn't even set or ready for us, we ordered our food it... More

I was aware when booking that there was a wedding arriving at 3pm so booked my table for 2:30pm and I was told by staff that the wedding will be separate from the bar so we... More

It is a lovely hotel with lots of old world character, it makes a lot of its associatted history with the RAF crew who were stationed there during the WWII and has a small bar which remembers the "exploits " of 617 Squadron who are better known as the dambusters. It is... More

Had a one night stay which was very disappointing as expecting the inside to live up to the outside. Very dated room which needed refurbishment, rusty windows and nets soaking up rusty moisture And a stained carpet. The TV was attached to the wall with unsightly plastic cable covering. As I paid £95 for the one night was disappointed. Check... More

we stayed here as it was in the right area and was actually reasonable value(£68)which was much cheaper than a previous visit,the building itself is like a 1930s rambling manor house and i expected to see kenneth more propping up the bar!which would fit perfectly as it was a wartime raf billet.coming back to the present the room was ok...
