The Rising Sun by Greene King Inns

First time stayed here, nice place, friendly staff, food was great, view of the sunset great. Only negative I would add is just a few areas like some doors or frames need a lick of paint, otherwise defo stay again We stayed here to go to RIAT airshow next day and after visiting Clarkson’s Farm where we met him also

Disappointing

For the price we paid we were very disappointed with our room, although the pub and restaurant seemed nice enough. On a positive note the room seemed clean, and the bed was comfortable. Other than that, however, the room was very basic and very hot. There was no drawer space; walls were bare; no provision for bags; the hot water tap was dangerously hot so could not be used and the cold tap sprayed water everywhere. The stack of cardboard boxes outside our window and the filthy road sign were not an attractive addition to the otherwise great view! It was good to be able to open the window a little, but the heated towel rail could not be turned off which made it impossible to cool the room to a comfortable temperature, even with the fan provided. We understand that prices in this area are higher than elsewhere, but we felt this stay was very poor value for the price charged. We would not choose to stay here again.

Rising Sun was perfect for our one night. We are at the tail end of a 30 day trip and chose Cheltenham because it was close to Sudely Castle and Gardens. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bathroom was fine. Bar and restaurant were great and the views were INCREDIBLE. If back in the area I would stay again.
HIGHLY recommend this restaurant - food is fabulous and the staff was wonderful. The Coconut Tree

Great views from the bar and garden, and perhaps some rooms though not ours as we were facing out the back. Rooms are clean and functional but nothing to write home about, with bathrooms not dissimilar to the toilets in a school 20 years ago. Nevertheless, a good night's rest and great location if you're playing golf and the nearby Cleeve Hill golf course.

Situated in a lovely location. It’s owned by a chain so I had the exact same menu as my previous nights stay. All in all it was very good. Clean, attentive staff.

We were pleasantly surprised at the Beautiful views. The dinner was good, and the lady that checked us into the hotel was very helpful. Yes it's an older building, but the rooms were clean. The room we were in did not have AC, but there was a fan. We were there in May so it wasn't real warm, so just be aware of that, if you are there in summer.

By far one of the worst

This is by far one of the worst hotels i have stopped in. Check in was very abrupt. Got to room, toilet hadnt been cleaned and had faeces marks up both sides of the toilet. Room smellled very damp and had brown marks all over the carpet. Freezing cold, asked.for a portable heater and they didnt have one. Slept in my clothes and hat as was so cold. Beds very uncomfortable and one had a choc under it to stop it rolling about as the room was very uneven. Not very good for someone not good with balance!Massive dog roaming the hotel! Bags of rubbish left outside three rooms all the time we were there. Will definitely not be returning. Didnt have breakfast so cant comment on the restaurant

Okay

Not the most expensive hotel in the area but you get what you pay for. Comfortable bed and friendly enough staff. Paid extra for breakfast but didn’t realise that it started at 0800 and I had to leave at 0730. No refund offered but was offered some croissants if I wanted them. My mistake not theirs. Probably wouldn’t stay here again as I found a nice hotel five miles further up the road and only £30 more than the stay here.
