Bw Hare And Hounds Htl: The luck of the draw

We were lucky. Travelling along and it's getting just a tad late. Accommodation filling up and it's the Cotswolds, never an easy place to secure a bed.
Just down the road is the National Aboretum and it's their busiest weekend of the year. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thus I pulled up at the Hare and Hounds of Westonbirt.
"No, the only room we have left only has a small double bed."
Mmm, out to consult with she-who-must-be-obeyed. "Yes, I don't really care and it's getting late," she proferred. I still insisted she go and check it out first. I've been caught before you know.
Her approval forthcoming we took the room and, as it turned out, their "small" bed wasn't too bad at all and the room had an ensuite so we retired for the night in a happy frame of mind.

Unique Quality: One thing I really liked about the place was the dining room. Done out in period style with tapestries on the wall and a nice aspect over the back yard if you are fortunate enough to gain a window seat.
The waiting room also exudes class with leather lined couches backed by tasteful paintings on the wall.
The only down side might be the narrow staircase but, I ask you, what multi storey building in England doesn't have them.
