local experiences

Divine dining

There are two. The hotel’s main restaurant (open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for dinner and for hearty Sunday lunch and dinners) is a homey-yet-modern space serving up British food with a contemporary twist; as much as possible is locally sourced. 

A mish-mash of artwork hangs on the walls, including a commissioned piece by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and there are leather banquettes and parquet flooring, plus a few rustic touches. The menu is as alluring as the decor, with slow-cooked pork cheeks, sirloin steak in Béarnaise sauce, and wild-mushroom linguine. For afters, the poached pineapple with blackcurrant and orange sorbet is a must-try. 

And the lively MBB Brasserie, with painted stone walls and leather banquettes, serves lunch and dinner. You can watch the chefs cook and bartenders mix up cocktails here, and the menu also champions locally grown, farmed and fished produce. 

Enjoy Creedy Carver duck terrine, garden beetroot risotto and lemon posset with brandy snaps. To ensure you get your fill, book in advance.

 

Sip & Savour

The backlit bar is a destination in its own right, pulling in thirsty Cirencesterians in search of well-mixed cocktails. It’s the first thing you see on entering the hotel and feels like a more grown-up space, with leather sofas for two and elaborate booze concoctions. 

Go for a G&T mixed with a spirit from the hotel’s extensive gin collection and flavoured Fevertree tonic water – we like the elderflower one. Dogs are allowed here (but not in the restaurant), and there’s a generous menu of sandwiches and other treats to pick at. 

With a nod to the town’s history as a centre of the yarn trade, colourful bobbins of thread are mounted on the wall, and bare brick and flagstone tiles give a hard edge to the cosy chic.

feature spaces

These rooms are decorated with eau de Nil walls and Toile de Jouy wallpaper, in keeping with the hotel’s classic country style.

These rooms’ selling point are their restored period features, such as exposed brick walls and wooden beams; they’re more unusual than those in the other categories and have lots of character.

One Bed Serviced Apartment

Each apartment has an open-plan living room with inviting sofas (some have sofa beds), a dining table and a fully equipped kitchen (with an oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and washer/dryer). 

In the separate bedroom there’s a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom with a shower over the bath tub and Greener Lifestyle bath products. There’s also free WiFi, a flatscreen TV, air-conditioning, and tea-making kit. 

The apartment is a wee walk from the main building and doesn’t have a lift, so isn’t suitable for wheelchair users. The hotel staff are happy to help with your bags if needed. 

Please note, as a one bed, this is on the cosier side, so while you can still book this room, you may prefer one of the others, where you can spread out on the bed and enjoy more elbow room.

Perfect break away for two...
I got in touch with Natasha to organise a break away for two next year within my budget. She was so helpful and genuinely cared about what was special to me, asking lots of questions to get it spot on. It was quick to find an amazing hotel and i'm so excited. It feels amazing to have someone else plan it for me and I have complete trust that it's all in hand. I will be returning time and time again for my holidays - thank you Optimum Experience - Trust Pilot
Croatia trip booked through Kirsty
Me and my partner had a trip booked to Croatia through Kirsty and I can’t recommend Kirsty / the company enough! Start to finish the trip was perfectly organised and Kirsty went above and beyond to make our trip special. I definitely recommend using this company if you want any holidays organising as it takes the stress away from you and they can also organise all your restaurant bookings / days out / beach clubs which is perfect for us as we literally just had to turn up to the airport and everything else was sorted ! The communication and attention to detail was impeccable and there is nothing I could fault from using them. I will definitely be using Kirsty and optimum in the future for all my holiday bookings! Thanks again - Trust Pilot
Such a pleasure working with optimum
Such a pleasure working with Optimum Experience, my husband and I were looking for a trip but didn’t really know where to go. We spoke with Natasha who learned all about what we like and don’t like in a holiday and she went off and found some amazing packages for our budget. We feel safe knowing that our holiday is in great hands and any questions we had were expertly answered. Optimum Experience took the stress that can come from trying to find the right holiday away and I will happily use them again. Date of experience - Trust Pilot
Amazing service from Optimum Experience
I can't thank Kirsty and the Optimum Experience team enough for booking our holiday. From start to finish, Kirsty looked after all aspects of our booking, listening to exactly what we wanted from our holiday and leaving no stone unturned to find us the perfect hotel. Kirsty built our full package, ensuring that we didn't have to worry about sorting anything - from private transfers, and seats on the plane, to booking exclusive bars and restaurants for us, she handled it all. Kirsty has always been available for a chat or message when needed and has made our booking process seamless and totally stress free. I can't wait to book our next break with Optimum Experience!
