De Vere Cotswold Water Park

De Vere Cotswold Water Park

8/10 Good
"First of all the room was difficult to find as you had to go through an extra room door to get there. A big sign said 5 room numbers but only 2 room doors and neither my room number. Tried calling reception no answer. Eventually found a hotel maintenance person who showed me a very tiny sign printed in a small font that was difficult to read on one of those doors which said it led to 2 more rooms. Each had another door with key swipe. (Probably good for families) Better signage or info about finding the room, from reception would have helped. The room was extremely dark (although the bathroom was extremely large and bright) and nothing special for the money paid. When I was parking (free), I hoped my room had a water view but sadly it didnt have any view! It overlooked, and was above an entrance foyer which was noisy as people trundled cases. People on the 1st floor could see in your room as they walked down the corridor so had to close the curtains. I was there for an event which was good and the food nice. The breakfast was plentiful but no weetabix or fried eggs. Restaurant and some rooms - but sadly not mine- had a lovely view."
