Our stay at the Cotswold Water Park was quite disappointing. While the location offers beautiful views and the check-in process was efficient, we faced significant issues with cleanliness and dining quality that overshadowed the positives. The rooms were okay in size, but the overall experience didn't meet our expectations given the price we paid.
