De Vere Cotswold Water Park

De Vere Cotswold Water Park

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent venue for a short break in the Cotswolds. Room was very good, with a comfortable bed and a pleasant outlook. Weddings didn't impinge on the privacy and comfort of others. Breakfast was substantial, and staff cleared tables quickly. We are in the Old Boathouse and enjoyed three pleasant meals. Staff throughout the complex were very friendly and courteous."

8/10 Good
"Lovely convenient hotel. Super location and easy to get to the main part of Stratford. The hotel is clean and has ample parking at the rear. The room too was clean. But is literally a bed. A couple more things would have made our stay more comfortable. Such as more than one pillow each, a mirror in the room would be good also just a bin. There are no hair dryers or iron in the room. On whole a good hotel for a short stay."
