The Beaufort Hunt

I was recommended The Moda House by a friend who stays there regularly when on business in the area. What a recommendation it was. Truly a Five Star establishment. Architecturally a lovely building and beautifully furnished. The reception from Jo and her husband Duncan could not have been warmer and their obvious love for the house and their guests was plain to see. The room I was given, Room One, was elegant and very well furnished. The bed must bear special mention as it was probably the most comfortable I have slept in for many a year. The same can be said about the fabulous pillows. Maybe a small point but one which can mean the difference between an excellent night’s sleep and not. The en-suite was again superb and the shower in the morning was the perfect way to start the day. Powerful might be a slight underestimation! Down for breakfast in the morning and the room was an absolute delight. It would certainly be my study if it were my own private house. The centrepiece is the table. Totally stunning and unique. Jo and Duncan have provided a short history of the table which is definitely worth reading. I had the cooked breakfast which was excellent and the coffee was also superb. All in all a truly Five Star experience, my only regret was that I would only be there for one evening but the next time I am in the area it will be the place I choose to stay. Whilst not strictly part of this review, mention should, I feel, be made of the ease of finding places to eat and drink whilst staying at The Moda. It is centrally situated and as the information folder in the room tells you there is no shortage of establishments for an evening meal/drink. Immediately opposite is The Horseshoe, a pub which has gathered many awards for the quality of its seven real ales. Not difficult to see why. Whilst there are several restaurants catering for many different tastes I had been recommended by my friend to try the Tudor Raj. A worthy recommendation serving very, very good Indian food. Thank you again Jo and Duncan for a wonderfully memorable stay.

Great location. Beautiful and relaxing space to be in. Courtyard catches the evening sun. Spacious room, comfy bed and pillows for a great night’s sleep. Great hosts… I was only there for a one night stay work trip but was made very welcome - even by the dog. Perfect poached eggs for breakfast too!

Stunning decor, superbly welcoming hosts in Jo and Duncan. Rooms are exquisite, tasteful, and attention to detail in this accommodation is paramount. A gem in beautiful Chipping Sodbury. Close to restaurants and pubs, yet standing proud at the top of the wide main street. Seriously worth a stay! Romantic break... visit to Chipping Sodbury... exploring the Cotswold Way...
