Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very disappointed. The room was nothing like the pictures, it smelt old and musty, and needs a complete overhaul. Mould on the bath screen and around windows. Tapes dripped and were difficult to turn on and off. Bed seemed to be on a slope and you had to roll up and over a ridge in the middle. I was shown to a table for breakfast and brought tea and toast but the server never came to take my order. The only good thing about the hotel was the lovely receptionist who was so helpful, professional and friendly.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Did the online check in. Not so sure that's a good thing as the room we had a view of the car park, room 57. Couple in front of us, who checked in at the hotel were told they had a room with a great view. At that time, 2pm, we could not see our room (fair enough as check in is 3 onwards). We were meeting people else where so did not get back until after 5pm. The room was dated and the radiator did a good impression of Niagara Falls, very noisy, so had to turn it off. Told the receptionist on leaving who said she would report it, although I doubt this news to the hotel. In the morning went to make coffee, except there was none. As I paid £194 for the room it was very poor value.

Well appointed hotel with lovely views across the Nailsworth valley. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a huge bed. Didn't use the restaurant for dinner, but breakfast is excellent. We have stayed here three times now and have not been disappointed.

The perfect place to stay.

Our stay here was excellent. Reception staff were really welcoming and helpful.Our room fabulous and spotless. Great thick curtains which completely blocked out the light. The food was amazing. It arrived quickly and hot. There is plenty of car parking. We can not fault this hotel and its staff and would highly recommend it.
