What a gem ! Beautiful Cotswolds hotel with extremely friendly staff and a lovely dining room . We had been travelling around the Cotswolds all day and arrived early to have pre dinner drinks . There is a lovely bar and lounge with outside terrace with views of the nearby hills . As it was a little cooler we sat in front of the log fire having cocktails and reading our books . Leah the restaurant manageress invited us to move our booking forward which suited us . We started with chefs snacks cheese croquettes,potatoe with cod mousse and mixed charcuterie .We then had the tasting menu which I would highly recommend. We started with the a chicken terrine with asparagus a substitute for salt baked beets which the chef kindly changed . The chicken was crispy on the outside tender inside with beautiful wild garlic sauce and chicken jus just superb . We followed with cod and Romanesque sauce again delightful . Pork loin and belly pork with crackling carrot jam was the delicious main Followed by refreshing mango sorbet Pudding was a gorgeous chocolate cremo with yoghurt sorbet and sesame crisp Then petite fours and coffee All washed down with a superb Malbec Each dish was delightful leaving a lovely aftertaste truly excellent cooking Leah and her staff were delightful making a very pleasant birthday celebration . Highly recommended

A perfect weekend escape. The service was brilliant from every member of the team, and the food was exceptional. The hotel is set is such a beautiful location, and every detail has been thought through. The food menu has great innovation and the quality was exceptional, loved the sharing concept for dinner. Afternoon tea is a must and good value compared to many others. Our room was lovely, the decor relaxed and quirky, perfect. Nothing we asked for was ever a problem, and the team work very well together. Great location also for walking and exploring the stunning scenery. George, China and Daniel made our visit, but all the team are excellent. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you.

We checked into the painswick for 1 night, and the 2nd night at the sister hotel, the calcot. First impressions were good, and when we were upgraded to a nicer room with fantastic views and a great bathroom we were even more pleased. Service was casual but attentive ( in a good way). The hotel had bags of character and Cotswold charm....beautifully furnished and very atmospheric and cosy. Lovely toiletries as well. Food at dinner was excellent, as was breakfast. Not a great deal to do in this tiny village, but if you want a quiet country night away you could do worse than stay here.

Afternoon to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was divine!!! The afternoon tea was full of flavour, beautifully presented and delicious. The gluten & dairy free option was amazing. Truly cannot wait to return. Only slight niggle was the lack of comfy/cosy chairs.

Afternoon tea a the painswick hotel was a delight on a grotty Sunday afternoon , excellent selection of savoury and sweet a the perfect scotch eggs, a nice cozy room with an open fire , friendly service , a nice afternoon treat, the painswick hotel is a gem on our door step, always a nice experience

We had a lovely stay at the Painswick. We loved the boutique size of the hotel, gorgeous lounging areas and interiors. We had a very friendly welcome on arrival after our late journey. The staff were super helpful throughout our stay - making sure everything was in order for us and taking care of the small special touches too. The breakfast was lovely, again such helpful staff and we liked that the coffee & cooked breakfast options were made to order. Thank you!
