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.

Quirky, quiet place to stay between the river and the canal. Lovely, comfy room and quiet. The restaurant is open Weds onwards. There is a Toby Carvery a few minutes down the road but not dog friendly. Gloucester centre about 10 mins drive away. Good stop on the way to Wales.

Overnight stop

The stay at The Mooring House was very comfortable. I hadnt realised they didnt do breakfast but that wasnt a problem for us. The check in was simple and tho we arrived very early they put our bag in our room and sent us a text once it was ready.

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!!!

Lovely stay

Lovely place to stay, nice walk or £7.00 taxi ride to docks. Room a bit cold, until fan heater warmed it up. Bath needs a mat as a high step into shower. Great meal and friendly staff. Would certainly stay again

Welcoming Dog Friendly Stay

We had a lovely stay with our Sproodle. Danielle and the team were very welcoming. The room was very clean and a good size with Kingsize bed, 2 seater sofa, desk and wardrobe. The En-suite also had a bath with power shower. The on-site restaurant the lock keepers was fantastic, great food and service. Would definitely stay again.

Tired and Dirty

Public areas grubby, underwhelming reception at check in. Car park not lit and in dark wooded area (no tarmac). Public area carpets filthy, room carpets much the same and room cleaned to minimal standard, door very insecure, window latch falling off, sink tap handle missing, shower cold. Walls paper thin and a lot of banging drum and bass from another room (not hotels fault just a complete moron).Terrible pillows. Restaurant expensive and average, staff didn't really want to be there. Could be a lovely place if some time and money was put into it

Nice but scruffy

The stay was nice. The room had lots of good features like a jacuzzi bath and a large fridge. However the room was a lot more run-down than was shown in the pictures. We wouldn't have minded this but it was one of the more expensive hotels in the area and it just seems like it wasn't being well looked after and the quality wasn't there for the money.

Overall would recommend for a short stay. Clean and comfortable. Communication before arrival could of be better as we tried to call to confirm booking no answer on days when they where opened. The room was pleasant but too warm as there was no obvious way to turn the underfloor heating down

Good modernisation, great style

Nice room, great style in the bar/restaurant. Good breakfast available. Two improvements could be made: as the room had no central heating, should have a quiet convector heater not the small, noisy fan heater provided; The cups for coffee are packed with the milk, sachets, sugar, spoons - but all those have to come out to use the cup. That is plain annoying - get a separate container.

nice place, no one on site monday or tuesday

stayed for business, a bit further out of the center of Gloucester than it looked, £7-£8 in a taxi each way. Bar/Restaurant/Staff closed/not onsite Monday/Tuesday which is one of the days I stayed, was disappointed with this as it would have been easier to get a taxi in and out, plus have a drink in the bar before and after going out for a meal or even stayed in for a meal
