Just spent a two night, midweek break at the Wood Norton Hotel. The house is impressive from the outside. Once inside the interior continues to impress with the wood panelling, the ornate staircases and period features. Outside, the terrace is a great place for drinks, looking across a well kept lawn to an expansive semi-circular balcony providing a fantastic view across the Vale of Evesham. There is a second adjacent, well maintained garden by the front drive and both are a credit to the gardening team. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast were good with all you'd want. We had a deal that included an allowance for dinner each night and although you'd easily spend that plus some, we were very happy with the deal. The staff were helpful and hard working with special mention to the duty manager who served us in the bar, sorted out a 'problem' in our room (which was just us not understanding how the lights worked), then was serving in the restaurant. The most laid-back resident has to be Bear, the black cat who has it made, always in his favourite chair occasionally wondering off to eat or drink. I'd have to try hard to pick fault with anything, all I can think of is the bathroom plug that didn't seal properly (which we have encountered in several p!aces over the the years). So all-in-all we had a great stay at Wood Norton and would recommend it as a great centre from which to explore the Cotswolds.
