We were happy with how the trip was arranged ...

England | Jul 26 - Aug 1, 2026

The location was great and both the staff and the breakfasts were excellent. The hotel does not have AC, so the heat wave this summer in London created some stuffy conditions in the room, but not uncomfortable.

This was probably the best hotel of our trip. The room was well appointed and overlooked the street (pedestrian and automobile traffic was no issue). There was a nice park right outside the rear entrance that was nice to relax in. The staff were helpful and the food excellent. Walking to and from central Bath was easy from its location.

This hotel was very much in character with its surroundings in Moreton-in-Marsh. The staff were great and the room was quite nice. We took advantage of its proximity to the high-end restaurant Henne to enjoy a wonderful dinner one evening.

The hotel is great, its modern and efficient, thus somewhat lacking in charm. Its proximity to Heathrow is its main advantage. We had no problems here, but no standout experiences either - it met all our expectations, it just didn't excel at anything.

Our guide, Dan, was absolutely fantastic. He was very engaging, and was able to link his and our experiences to the elements of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. There were many highlights, but his choice of pub for dinner on the drive between Bath and Stonehenge was inspired - hard to beat a pub with about 700 years of service history.

A experience in and of itself. The tea was great and the accompanying selection of small sandwiches and desserts were wonderful. We were just a bit sluggish since we had just arrived in London with little if any sleep on the plane.

The self-guided tour of the castle and grounds was great. There is almost always a queue for the Doll House, so come expecting that. We made some decisions about the order in which we proceeded through the grounds based on where larger groups were heading.

We thoroughly enjoyed both the tour guide that preceded our entry into the Tower area and the Beefeater (Tower Guard) that provided the tour within the Tower castle area. Both were engaging and knowledgeable and very responsive to questions.

The driver was on-time at the station, were a little confused about where he was waiting for us and it took a while for us to find him.

Quick and efficient taxi service between the hotel and station.

Wonderful and enthralling experience. We had the same tour guide - Dan - for this as for the walking tour of Bath. Dan is fantastic and really gave us a detailed experience within the stone circle of Stonehenge.

A must see and must do tour. It's self-guided, but informative and engaging tour of an unique aspect of English and Roman history.

Ian was our tour guide and he provided a fantastic tour for us, visiting several villages and other sights and unique areas of the Cotswolds. He was not quite the same outgoing personality as our guide for Bath and Stonehenge, but he was very good at getting around and helping us learn about the unique history and culture of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

This tour allows you to experience the reconstructed Globe theater and the learn the history of the original and the revival of the current theater.

Short trip between the station and our hotel. The same drive brought us to the Hidcote gardens tour.

Taxi trip between the hotel and Hidcote Gardens

Taxi transfer from Hidcote Gardens back to the hotel. The driver was on time and efficient both coming and going to the gardens.

I think this would be a great addition to anyone's itinerary to experience these gardens at the height of their greenery. Unfortunately for us, the drought and heat in England at this time lessened the experience somewhat. Not a fault of anyone, just mother nature intervening.
