Nice boutique style hotel, just out of town but free parking. Bar/restaurant on site for nice food. Beautiful canal side location with outside tables for summer. No breakfast available but not a problem.

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Lovely staff, food, walks, the room was great. Great food and the chef came round to speak to each of us to make sure we all enjoyed our food. A really special place that we will go back to. A couple of points to make though, they do not serve breakfast and there is nobody to hand a key back to on our leave which is a bit odd otherwise very highly recommended.

Room furnishings were high quality and we had a lovely view of the canal. The room included a fridge and fan, bed was comfy. Staff were very helpful including when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the room. The place was nicely located too next to a beautiful canal and the area was very safe. The hotel and rooms were clean with the only issue being they used light biscuit carpet which showed a few stains

The shower in our room needs some work. The shower curtain was falling off the rail and there was a large black stain on the floor where water leaks onto the floor. We loved your inn and it was a beautiful setting. The pub below was a bit pricey but the food was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and would tell our friends.

Covenient, semi rural location very close to Gloucester city centre. Attractive building on the edge of a canal and very close to the river. Our family room was huge and well set up.

Lovely serene location near the canal and river (might get busy when the weather is good)..Lovely traditional spacious and comfortable rooms, in good clean condition. Communication before arrival excellent. We weren't able to use the spa bath as the plumbing currently needs re-doing to prevent leaks and there is no shelf to put the toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast isn't available at the restaurant currently but there is Toby Carvery or the cafe at Over Farm next door. Location is convenient with a car being close to Gloucester itself.

Lovely room, great decor, furnishings and well equipped. Good bathroom and shower. Room spotless. Convenient location just off dual carriageway, but can hear road noise if windows open. We stayed during a heat wave, so the fan was very welcome. Good communication and can check in and check out without seeing anyone. The restaurant has a lovely waterside terrace, open for lunch and dinners apart from Mondays. Breakfast is not available at the hotel, but there is an excellent cafe and farm shop a few minutes walk away.
