It’s a straightforward thing to get right, really. A comfortable room. A good breakfast. Somewhere nice to sit outside. A meal in the evening that’s worth looking forward to. Countryside on the doorstep. Our team will recommend a walk without handing you a laminated sheet.
At Pettifers we are a friendly, family-run hotel in the village of Crudwell, on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, that does the basics well and doesn’t make a fuss about it.
A few days here
There’s no particular formula for a Pettifers break. Most of our guests find their own version of it pretty quickly. A morning walk, a day out to Westonbirt or a jaunt around the Cotswold Lakes, back to the hotel for a drink in the Snug, dinner at Asha Indian Kitchen, repeat as needed until properly rested.
The walled gardens and terrace are a lovely place to sit outside and do nothing much. The croquet pitch goes up in summer. The bar is well stocked, the coffee’s good, and nobody’s rushing you anywhere.
The food
Breakfast runs until 10:30am on summer weekends, which means the morning is yours. A full cooked breakfast in the Stoneroom sets things up properly before a day out, or before a slow morning that stays close to the hotel.
Evenings are Asha Indian Kitchen, which guests tend to mention by name when they leave reviews. Chef Parvez cooks from a menu that’s built around his own cooking rather than a standard Indian restaurant format. Dishes like Achari Masala, Shashlik Masala and the Plazza, served 6 days a week from 5pm. It’s the kind of food that makes you glad you didn’t drive somewhere else for dinner.
The rooms
Classic Doubles, larger Double or Twin rooms, family rooms that sleep three or four — all in the main hotel or the courtyard building, all with free WiFi, tea, coffee and cookies, and a 48-hour cancellation when you book with us direct. Ground-floor rooms are available on request.
Mayfield Cottage is next door if you’d rather have your own front door. Vaulted ceiling master bedroom with a superking bed. A twin second bedroom, fully fitted kitchen with all the mod cons, kitchen-diner, 60” smart TV, a private courtyard garden, its own parking, and Pettifers’ bar and restaurant whenever you want them.
Dogs are welcome in the many rooms and the cottage. Just mention it when you book.
