Had a very nice stay with friends in this hotel on a B&B basis. The hotel was a good nightly rate and close to Gloucester so was a good choice for us. The property was clean and welcoming but looked a little tired around the edges and in need of a little updating, although it was nice and clean and the staff friendly. Our room was comfortable with clean and fresh linen, the bathroom also clean with fresh towels. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice which was on a buffet style. Very nice bread for toast and eggs could be prepared by request if you wanted them different from the fried supplied on the full English buffet bar. The staff at breakfast time were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them and you were always welcomed to the breakfast room with a friendly smile. I would happily stay at this hotel again if I was visiting the area.

Great get away.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and spacious, lots of choices for diners. Breakfast was buffet style, very varied and the view from the dining windows looked over the grounds. All in all, an enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.

Lovely building in nice setting. Room was old fashioned but spacious and clean. The staff were very good although check in is a slightly wierd set up and our room wasnt ready until shortly after 3pm. Overall lots to like with one big BUT, I paid £17/50 for the worst fish n chips ive ever had, and thats a lot of fish n chips!! Fish was awful, chips were not chips but fries and the mushy peas were countable in quantity, truly awful meal. I probably wont go again but as i say there were good aspects

Lovely venue, shame about the cleanliness

The hotel was in a great location and look amazing, the staff were friendly and everything was going well, until we entered the room, the cleanliness was subpar to say the least, the bathroom was the worst, there was mildew and dirt that had been there for sometime as you can see from the pictures.
Dirty in the shower area
