The room was ok but the bathroom was a little dated. Being on the top floor the ceiling in the bathroom was angled over the bath so showing signs of paint peeling and cracked tiles. The bed i found too hard causing back issues and we had to keep opening the window due to the room getting to hot. Besides that the room was spotlessly clean, breakfast provided a good selection and the staff were very attentive. The hotel is in a lovely rural location and it only took 15 min to get into the centre of Gloucester.

Too hot at night instructions to adjust would have handy, room was nice and clean though. We were staying as we were attending a party and the food was delicious, sadly I couldn’t say the same for the bacon on the breakfast it was not cooked through the rashers were still folded in half as they come in the packet. We had a two night stay but sadly will not be booking again

This hotel looks great and has a cat which is nice. However, the noise that comes from the plumbing, gym and other rooms is quite substantial. I didn’t get the best sleep.

Staff are great and really make you feel welcome. Even though the menu was limited the evening meal was very good and the breakfast buffet tasted very fresh and lots of variety, though I would like to have seen potted yogurts more than just the plain variety in a bowl. The room was very clean and had a great shower, though slightly dated it’s a great place to stay in lovely grounds
