Great break, would stay again.

Stay was excellent, in extremely warm weather. The room was advised as being a quiet room at the rear. However with the temperature, we had the windows open wide, to be greeted by the continual sound of the air con units, until 11 p.m. Staff, and service are excellent, superb breakfast. Would certainly stay again.

Avoid.

Piping hot room, windows that cant fully open, guests snoring and the walls were so thin I couldnt sleep. Bathroom shower took only 2 or 3 minutes till it was overflowing due to blocked pipes. Horrible, expensive food at the restaurant. However, staff are lovely and the location is nice.

Dog friendly weekend with friends.

Perfect! Lovely spacious room, excellent facilities, large comfortable bed, great to have plenty of space with 2 dogs. Superb shower with quality toiletries. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Menu and quality of food excellent. So much space both indoors in bar/eating areas and outdoors in beer garden. Best ‘dog friendly’ hotel we’ve stayed in, can’t wait to book again.

From start to finish our 2 night break was excellent. From the warm welcome when checking in to us checking out the staff made us want for nothing. The room we stayed in was clean and was cleaned with everyting restocked. It had all the appliances you would expect, kettle for provided tea and coffee, ironing board and kettle including a safe and T.V. Although in the adjoining country house, we never felt that we was not part of the main hotel building. There was also an outdoor bar which was open when we had pizzas on the Friday of our stay which were freshly cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. The Sunday dinner was of high quality and again, the staff during meal times were thorough and efficent. The hotel is situated just off the common which gives access to plenty of walks. Overall I would recommend the hotel to anyone as it caters for all.

The area around the hotel was amazing. sceanic and peaceful. Lovely walks and lots of nearby to visit. We stayed in a pet friendly room that was ok. Some redecoration needed. Smelt abit doggy but also being on the ground floor and next to the door, there was alot of banging and people chatting as they were coming and going. No sound proofing and i could clearly hear people using the toilet. Although the room had beautiful views across the valley, directly in front of our window was some seating so we had to have the curtains drawn for privacy most of the time. Another thing to point out was the wifi randomly stopped working and would not come back on. We had gone for dinner and wanted to relax in the room and were only about to do so for about half an hour before the wifi connection said it had no service. A call to reception wasnt helpful as was told it happens, signal drops in and out and just try again in a bit. The wifi didnt work for the rest of our stay. Dinner and breakfast was fine, reasonably priced. I couldnt say the food was exceptional but it was good nonetheless. Our doggy got spoiled with a sausage in the morning and i thought it a nice touch the restaurant offered a doggy dinner (albeit at £8.50) I would like to point out that staff are lovely. There was a particular lady at reception who was fabulous and super helpful, giving us info and guidance about local areas and what to do. Our stay was fine but if returning to the area again, id stay somewhere d

I originally come from the Stroud area and know the hotel well. As we were visiting family we didn’t eat at the hotel so we aren’t able to comment on the full experience. The setting is great as was the view from our hotel room. Would we go back? Of course, we never got a chance to visit Winstons.
