Cotswold Water Park Four Pillars Hotel Review

Went to a Christmas party here. Food was OK. Drinks not crazily priced. Good atmosphere.

Beautiful natural views and places to walk if you like what the natural world has to offer, we came across this place on one of our road trips. Recommend.

Stayed here a few years ago and absolutely loved it. The rooms over looking the water are beautiful, food and drinks were amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The grounds are gorgeous. Looking to come back for another relaxing weekend away from the kids. 100% worth a visit.

The hotel was lovely, the staff friendly and the room was really nice, bright and spacious. The only downside was the food at the Xmas party we were attending, the starter was pate, which was good but came with 3 tiny pieces of semi crisp bread, totally inadequate for the generous portion of pate. Opted for the turkey dinner which came with 3 sprouts, 1 tiny slivver of carrot (not even a whole one) the roast potatoes were extremely dry and quite unpleasant served with a minimal amount of gravy. I would like to add that my husband had the pork which he said was nice, just not enough. Everything about the stay was very good, the evening had a great atmosphere, it was the meal that let it down. Such a shame for such a nice hotel.

Nice setting, comfortable rooms, excellent facilities, definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place. Great setting in the Cotswolds Lakes, and really nice accommodation and lovely staff. Best De Vere I've been to. Only reason it's not getting 5* is because you can't take under-2s into the swimming pool... Being able to take our baby swimming was one of the main reasons we booked it.

Visited the hotel for couple of nights. The lobby and bar are specious and modern, and give a relaxed vibe. The rooms however are tired and are in desperate need of face lift. Staff was polite and happy to help.

If I was paying for a Spa day or weekend, having noisy kids screaming and jumping in the area would be unacceptable as it's not exactly a leisure centre location. Hotel should manage this better as plenty of people were mentioning this when we were there for weekend and it can only be damaging guests experience.

Very enjoyable stay .very clean, comfortable beds, friendly and polite staff in all areas of the hotel. Massage was brilliant, food also very acceptable. However remove the honeycomb for sale in your shop it is STALE . Was
Looking forward to eating it

Large complex neatly settled at a picturesque lakeside with sensitivity Covid measures in place. Grest access to all the activities of the area.

Service has understandably suffered a bit.. such as room cleaning only every third day. Restaurant menu was a little uninspired. But overall a good stay!

Ok venue in a nice spot. Restaurant staff very pleasant - bar staff appalling: ignore customers; waste time; no urgency.

Excellent location, lovely food from the restaurant. Great conference facilities.

having over 700 rooms on a largely flat layout means long walks, it also means late night guests will likely disturb you as they find their room. The location is lovely, but given this is all it has going, it is 'okay'.

Great night away with a great number of activities to have a go at near by. Recommended for a family trip.

Had to ask 4 times for a cot to be delivered to our room, it finally arrived at 11:30pm,so threw our whole routine to get our twins to bed. Room was small too and unsuitable for our family - staff seemed unconcerned at this. Cannot see why you'd pay the extra price to stay here when a Travelodge is comparable in size, but half of the price.

Pretty hotel with lovely surroundings. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and spacious. We just felt the whole experience was very average - I used to work in hotels for a long time, so maybe I expected a little more...
I felt the bar staff were a little aloof and weren't too enthusiastic to help (we asked if they did mocktails and the response was simply "no" when they could have suggested something else) and there was a lack of please's and thank you's in my opinion.
The spa was lovely with great facilities - the staff were friendly and experienced, our treatments were really enjoyable (we had a massage and dry floatation) and was great overall. The hotel has great facilities but small things can make someone's visit go from "meh" to "wow, that was great" x

Would love to revisit when weather is better. Apartment lovely overlooking the lake and hotel facilities excellent

Visited the spa and gym. It was lovely with pool illuminated in the evening. Can't wait to go again.

Nice looking hotel with friendly staff. Facilities are limited and as a hotel guest you are lowest priority. Visited during Covid and their measures were very good however few people and staff actually obeyed any of them. The views are definitely the only things I recommend.
Edit: Got food poisoning from one of their burgers

Great hotel, very relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. The breakfast is good but evening meals have potential but you can tell nothing is made onsite.

Lovely location room a bit tired for a 4 star. Stains on carpet cobwebs on ceiling and long black hair in Bath plughole

The setting is beautiful and the hotel staff helpful and friendly. The only thing that needs some attention is the hot breakfast buffet. It gets quite busy and full during the summer months.

The staff is very nice, and the view from my room is beautiful. The food is a bit expensive

Clean tidy place, with good sized rooms and polite staff. Buffet was okay, not great, okay. Overall a good stay, and would recommend.

Good to have a gym and spa facilities after a long working day. Even has a route around the lake for a walk/run. Rooms are good, surprising to have a dyson hot/cold air fan and a really small TV. Would not recommend eating in the restaurant - tried different items in the menu twice and was not impressed by any of the dishes.

Lovely quiet place lovely room very spacious very relaxing room on the lake

Loved the apartments here so much we will be going back again.
Fantastic both as a base of operations or if you want to stay close by with, as loads to do on your doorstep as well as slightly further a field.
We only used the restaurant for a treat dinner one night and it was definitely worth it. Lovely view, great service and friendly staff. Tipped of with a walk round the lake afterwards as the sun set it was a perfect ending to the day.
Kids are only allowed in the swimming pool at certain times as it s part of the spa facilities, but there is a small play area near the parking.
Apartment was well furnished, clean and modern. We were easily able to cook and cater for the family in the open kitchen, diner, lounge and although we d brought some supplies found supermarkets just 5 minutes gown the road - always good for the things you ve forgotten. Along with chain restaurants suitable for children.
View from the balcony was pretty even though we didn t have a lake view and the atmosphere was very relaxing throughout our stay.
Easy to find and park at, with apartments having spaces directly outside their blocks saving you lugging bags from the main hotel parking.

Stunning hotel, excellent location and friendly, welcoming staff

Enjoyed afternoon tea with some friends, service was very good.

Nice welcome and good rooms. The location is right in the waterpark so nature all around. The only negative I would have is that the cooked breakfast seemed just a bit too greasy but the ingredients were good. There are plenty of other choices though!

Nice hotel, we had an apartment which was clean and spacious. Breakfast was very nice. Only down side was the pool and spa area was very busy so it was difficult to relax.

Rooms were nice, but it was very busy and loud. Reception staff was not trained well. The location is OK, but drove further down to for nice walks. I don't think I will visit again.

It's a lovely location with beautiful morning sunrises from the room, nice spa and restaurant.

Our stay as a couple at the Devere Water Park Hotel was pleasantly clean surrounded by stunning views and nice natural walks.

Came here with my husband for his 40th through Secret Escapes. Rosie at reception was so friendly and helpful. She gave us a complimentary room upgrade to a studio apartment with spectacular views from the bed and the balcony, which made my husband's birthday extra special! Absolutely picturesque! I would love to come here again for sure!

The food at the Brasserie was okish, think they could improve and have a bit more on the variety of items. Loved the pecan pie and chocolate torte. Great flavours. They definitely need to add cocktails and mocktails to the drinks menu.

We tried lunch at the Boathouse, the dishes were great quality, but definitely need more improvement on the cocktails list!

I get the feeling none of the hotel rooms or apartments have AC.. even with the fan on, it could get a little too hot!

The only downside was afternoon tea. We waited nearly an hour specifying no pork. About 40 mins later, we get served with ham sandwiches, which were taken back. Then I think we must have waited for another 20 minutes only to get a few sandwiches slapped with either cheese or cucumber. It was obvious no effort was made, yet it took so long. I picked up one sandwich, felt the bread with my fingers and put it straight down. Clearly the bread was old and stale. Reception was kind enough to get the whole thing cancelled for us. Afternoon tea is a no-no here, but of there is always a chance to give for improvement.

Perfect tranquil waterside setting for a weekend getaway

The pictures tells it all, nothing more picturesque and astonishing than this grand hotel.A must visit for nature lover...

Fantastic service by the bar.... They couldn't do enough for us.. And so lovely. Really delicious food

Great place to stay defo go back nice and central for the Cotswolds

Great venue. Attractive grounds, helpful staff, great rooms.
