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.

Disappointed

It’s a shame to rate this beautiful place so low but it’s purely down to the service. Firstly, my name was spelled wrong on my room card. Not a big issue, I made my way to my room. I booked valley view specifically as I wanted to enjoy that on my solo trip. I look out of my window and I see… the car park. I try to call the reception a few times, no answer. I try to call on my mobile, get through but they can’t hear me so quickly hang up. No call back. I make my way back to reception to ask them if I can change room, but I’m told ‘we have a large booking and they’ve taken all the valley view rooms. I can’t change you’. No apology or offer of compensation/a good will gesture to make it up to me. Baring in mind I paid for valley view! Fine. Evening comes and I fancied a bath. I go to run it and I see multiple suspicious curly hairs… nope! Shower it is :) Room was quite cold despite putting the radiator on max. I thought I may give them feedback at checkout when they ask me how my stay was… oh, they didn’t ask! Just took my payment and goodbye. I would love to stay here again but I’m just so disappointed by the service. The place really is beautiful.

Home from Home

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff for an amazing stay.As soon as I approached the reception the staff made me feel welcome and was very helpful. My room felt like home from home it was warm and welcoming with the little touches on the tea tray, to the cosy bedding and water next the bed.The bathroom had luxury products and I liked that they refill them. If you would like a meal in the beautiful restaurant that has stunning views or a drink in the cosy bar, I would highly recommend it. I definitely will be returning with friends and will recommend the hotel to my family. Thank you again.

Lovely room, great staff, average breakfast

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of charm and character and our room was lovely. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast was poor and could easily be improved. The eggs benedict and the veggie breakfast were both quite tasteless. The selection of pastries and cereals etc were good though. I'm sure last time we stayed here the cooked breakfast was better. Strangly the curtains covered the radiator and so blocked some of the heat but the room was still warm.

Wish we could have stayed longer- our bed was wonderful. (But everywhere we went, the toilets seats were what the US std was probably in the past. Elongated seats are definitely more sanitary as not all public places included paper shields.) Loved the size of the shower. Would have loved to have dinner there but we were meeting up with hubby's sons and their families for dinner at a carvery.
