It is a beautiful building in a lovely location. I’m not sure if the severe heat made a few things more difficult during our stay.
We ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening, and although our food took quite a long time to arrive, what we did have was lovely and we really enjoyed it. A couple who were seated next to us after we had arrived received both their starter and main course before we got our food. We had ordered several starters and side dishes because we weren’t very hungry, so I’m not sure if that contributed to the delay. Despite this, our waitress couldn’t have been nicer, and it was an extremely hot evening, so we appreciated how hard the staff were working.
The room was okay, although we had trouble opening the wardrobe because it was positioned too close to the bed. You could only open one wardrobe door at a time to about a 70-degree angle.
I also found a few different bugs in the bedroom, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, especially as we hadn’t had the windows open. There is no air conditioning, although a fan is provided in the room.
The bathroom was modern and clean, but the shower didn’t have a separate handheld hose, which is something I personally prefer.
All of the staff were lovely. The breakfast was excellent, as was the breakfast service, and the reception staff were all friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout our stay.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but for almost £650 for two nights, we expected a little more in terms of the room

We enjoyed another relaxing stay here in a beautiful, spacious suite with a private garden. We wished we could have stayed longer. We’ve been eating and staying here since our first visit in 1991, so they’re doing something right. We love the village, the grounds with the lawn to the stream, and the nearby villages. Staff were friendly and helpful, supplying fans in the heatwave. The food was excellent - we ate dinner outside on the terrace, from the bar menu - and breakfast the next morning was equally good. It was a shame that builders were repairing pathways with some noise and dust. Nevertheless, we’ll be back.

If you’re traveling to the Cotswolds in the summer time it may be difficult to stay and enjoy the rooms at the Slaughters Country Inn when the sun is high because there is no AC or central air. Fans will suffice to circulate the air and you can ask for more with reception. The property was lovely, the staff was great and the ambiance was wonderful.

Bathroom was great and very clean. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, we were given a menu with lots of good options. We went with toast and croissants to share, then eggs royale and poached eggs with avocado. Everything was cooked to perfection. Staff at breakfast were also lovely and very attentive and fast.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Slaughters Country Inn. The whole place has this slow-paced, charming atmosphere that makes you instantly relax. The venue itself is gorgeous — full of character and set in one of the most picturesque areas I’ve visited.

The coffee deserves a special mention: it was the best I’ve had on this entire trip so far. Paired with the peaceful surroundings, it made my morning feel perfect.

There’s also an amazing walk right on the doorstep, which made exploring the area even better.

I’d return in a heartbeat… in fact, I just might.

Our room was next to the hotel bins, got woken up by bins being used first thing.
Toilet seat was broken. Heated towel rail wasn't heating. The lift up bin lid in the bathroom wasn't lifting.
The bath / shower screen leaked water all over the floor and soaked our bags. The shower/ bath was tight to use for a 6ft+ man. The bathroom was grubby, not dirty, but not well presented. Tired!
We had an evening meal which was very nice, but way too expensive for what it was.
Overall, but in comparison to what we paid at another very well known hotel just outside Broadway, which was impeccable, our stay here was disappointing and expensive. We've stayed here twice now over the years and this is the second time we've felt the same way. Attention to detail in the rooms needs improvement in our view at the price.
Beautiful surroundings, pleasant staff and convenient position being the big plus here.

In a nutshell the rooms need a serious update!. I did stay in the Classic room but for the price I would still expect a way higher standard. The room feels like it hasn’t been updated for 30 odd years. So sad as I was looking forward to staying there. Very disappointing. On the plus side I couldn’t fault the staff who were all friendly, polite and helpful. Such a beautiful building and location, so much potential to make a stunning hotel.

The beds were good, room spacious, but we had people above us and we were bothered both nights. We called the first night and it got quieter, but second night, it was just people walking and chatting until late. It was really the lack of sound isolation, we didn’t sleep well. The food and service (except for the receptionist and bar tender the first night July 31st) were not up to standards. However, the hotel is located in a quiet area, easy to walk around the slaughters and experience the Costwolds.
