A Good Solid Place to Stay just outside Gloucester

Easy to find and a nice setting. Check-in was tricky because the email telling us how to do it was sent on the afternoon we were arriving - not very helpful. Fortunately the person behinf the bar was able to sort that for us very quickly. The room was OK though the fan in (unobvious in the wardrobe) was so noisy as to be pointless. There is plenty of shaded parking and it is about a 35 minute walk into Gloucester docks, over the Telford Bridge and across the Alney Island nature reserve. A pleasant walk on a sunny day but might be trickier in the wet. Can't comment on the breakfast as we didn't have it (nor were we offered it in truth), preferring to go into town and take the cheaper Wetherspoons option by the docks.

Interesting location by canal and forest with pleasant walk and dining area. Food is a little expensive, but very high quality. Room was OK/good with a few things that could use a refresh. Having no reception area was a little odd. TV was small and jetted tub didn't work. Comfortable and quiet. Country setting but close to main access roads. Motorway is a few miles away in busy traffic.

Will deffo revisit if I’m back in this area!

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rain shower was great and would go as hot as I like it. Wifi is excellent too :-) Comfy bed and pillows. It’s just a pity I was only there for one night.

Awful

An awful experience we didn’t receive an email apparently sent to say it is self check in on a Monday evening. Arrived and it was all in darkness, called the contact number numerous times but it just went to an answerphone. Hotels.com also tried to contact them. Finally messaged us later in the evening but we had already had to find somewhere else. They did say that they would be in contact regarding a resolution but yet to hear!!!
