The Montpellier Chapter

We made it out to the Cotswolds today.  
My Best Travel Buddy Ever!
We've found dog-friendly accommodation on Bayshill Road.



The Montpellier Chapter turned out to be a terrific surprise for us.  Contrary to some feedback read on Tripadvisor, the check-in process was warm and efficient.  I liked the way the common areas have been furnished and aside from the dining room, Bruno is welcomed everywhere else.  So we enjoyed an early dinner on the terrace, off a beautifully decorated bar-library area.

Reception to the left, with (round) sculpture titled Font 1 by Alison Crowther   
 Best of all, there is an incredibly well-curated contemporary art collection in the hotel!  Art is displayed casually, encouraging thought and conversation.
Foreground:  The Offering(sculpture) by Irene Gunston  Background:  Soldier Set(paintings) by Emily Lockren
I'm not crazy about all the design elements within our present room, but I appreciate very much the privacy offered, Ren bath products, and the eloquence of space expressed.

Extremely quiet and private.  Bliss!  No one else on this floor.  

(I'm just not crazy about built-in furniture... that wall of mirrors to the left needs to go...)
But the patio is great, and leaving cushions out on seats a nice touch.
Bruno agrees :)  The Montpellier Chapter, Bayshill Road
