We recently had a very relaxing weekend at Washbourne Court. The village of Lower Slaughter is idyllic and it is an easy walk into Bourton on the Water.
All of the staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and the management are very keen to ensure everyone has an enjoyable stay.
We ate in the Scholars Lounge which is very informal and has a couple of log fires with comfortable sofas and armchairs, it was never a problem getting a cosy seat.
The hotel has recently been purchased by a very up market hotel group which is good to know as the hotel and setting will not let you down.
All of our expectations were met and at times exceeded.

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful village. The staff were most helpful which is marvellous when travelling with 12 week old twin boys. Couple of improvement areas in the bedroom would be better pillows (not very comfortable) and a better coffee selection (bit downmarket at present). However, great weekend and for £115 on bookings.com, great value!

My partner and I have just got back from a lovely overnight stay at Washbourne Court and have a great stay. The room was lovely, we stayed in Jourdelay's room, it was very spacious with a walk-in shower and a double ended bath and the bed was to die for! We ate in the Scholars Lounge and the food was delicious and very filling, we were able to follow this by sitting at an open fire with a cheeky bottle of red. Overall staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive and we had a very enjoyable stay. Would definately return in the future.

We booked a last minute trip to Washbourne Court and got a great price on the room - when we arrived we found out that our room had been upgraded free of charge which was a lovely surprise. The hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming, they are always on hand to help out should you need it. Housekeeping come around to the rooms in the evening and offer you extra toiletries and snacks - a great touch.

We ate at the Scholar's lounge, after reading the reviews of the Eton's restaurant we opted for the cheaper option. The food was good, nothing spectacular. The restaurant staff seemed to not really know what they were doing during our meal, there was a lot of trips backwards and forwards and this affected the atmosphere. The waitress who served us was very shy and did not greet us or ask us how we were which was a shame as that tends to put you at ease and it creates a nicer atmosphere. The waiting staff did not go the extra mile with their service which was a shame.

On the whole, the hotel is beautiful, location amazing but the waiting staff need to smile and be a little more friendly!!
