Room was amazing, and big. Shower was sooooo good, but its over a bath and its quite a leg up to get in the bath. Bed was really comfy and we slept in till 07.00 which is something we don't do.

Lovely helpful, friendly staff

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We booked a luxury room but the plug in the sink didnt work properly, the shower head needs cleaning as the water only comes out of certain holes.

Liked: Cleanliness
On the plus side it was a last minute booking because another hotel let us down. Room was pleasant if small and bed comfortable. Less good was the staff in the pub who didn’t really feel the rooms were their problem. We should have had an email to explain access, key-safe, password and check-in/checkout but didn’t. Website says breakfast available but actually it isn’t on Sunday.

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.
