A friendly and charming Bistro style restaurant in the picturesque village of Painswick…read more Standard bistro fare done to a reasonable standard. Steaks, fish and game, with some HUngarian specials such as Hungarian sausages reflecting the ethnic origins of the owners. I've eaten here several times and it is always consistent and pitched right. Not been disappointed so far and I would always be happy to go back. Reasonably priced and quite a good wine list, as well. They do have B&B here but I've not seen the rooms. Open every day except Monday for lunchl.

This cutesy Bistro had the white tablecloth and real roses…read morecharm in a family run corner shop. The service was excellent despite being short staffed. The food options for vegetarians were above average but the quality of the pasta only average. There were a variety of items to tempt you on the dessert menu and what the table chose was all yummy.

Nicest B& B ever, they were really nice to my kids as well. Would come back. Thanks for breakfast!read more

I was in town for a weekend and on a last minute decision decided that I wanted a place to stay…read moreinstead of making a two hour drive. As I contacted the hotel at 8pm, it was lucky there were places. A room for the night cost me £30. On the whole this is a cheap and adequate Bed and Breakfast. You are provided for £30 with a basic room with a tv, shower/toilet and a cupboard. I was tired from the exertions of the day, and I had a great nights sleep on a satisfactory matress. The full cooked breakfast provided on the Sunday was perfectly tasty, and though I didn't have any extra needs I was dealt with in a polite manner. If you are trapped in Stroud and need a cheap and cheerful place to stay, there is nothing wrong with the London hotel.

I stayed at the Alice Guest House this weekend and was really happy with it. It's spotlessly…read moreclean, very close to the town centre and the owners, Karen and Jean are very friendly. There are guest rooms in the house, but I stayed in one of two chalets in their beautifully kept garden and it was really lovely. There was even a little patio outside it with table and chairs. Really charming. There is no off-street parking but I had no trouble finding parking a street away. The only feature the Alice Guest House lacks is a communal space where guests could relax and read a paper etc. but I understand that the owners plan to add this to the property in the very near future. I would be very happy to stay at the Alice if I return to Cheltenham in the future.

This is the perfect B&B. I can't think of anything that wasn't excellent…read more The owners are kind and gracious and have created a lovely establishment. Sometimes guest houses are either extremely cluttered or filled with cheap Ikea furniture, but this house is well furnished and up-to-date. I particularly liked the breakfast room with antiques and green walls...so British! Location is perfect, just a 5 minute walk to the train station or to the center of town. Our room was very spacious and well appointed. The windows are double pane so it stayed nice and warm. Water pressure and heat was excellent. Breakfast was delicious. The portions were so large I could barely finish everything. There's of course a full English, but also some other options like omelets and cereals. Don't miss the homemade jams! They also offer a packed lunch for £7 which I highly recommend. I don't know where they got that ham for the sandwich, but it was some of the best I've had in ages. The lunch came with sandwich, quiche, crisps, cake, and water - all in an insulated bag. For my fellow Americans, you may see some reviews or house rules mention that the Emsley doesn't allow "all male or all female" parties. In Britain, that refers to bachelor/bachelorette parties. It doesn't refer to same-sex couples, which are gladly welcomed at the Emsely. I thought I'd point that out because that terminology might be confusing to some travelers.

This was the first bed & breakfast I've ever stayed in and it spoiled me for any others, I think!…read moreThe people who run it were so kind & helpful! The room was really nice & they even gave us homemade cookies to go with our tea & coffee in our room! The decor was beautiful! We had afternoon tea when we got there & it was delicious! They gave us tips for where to go in the city and how to get there. I would highly recommend everyone to stay there!

A Refreshing little Place. Family run guest house. Better then some of Birmingham's bigger…read morehotels. Clean and Welcoming. Lovely Breakfast. cosy Breakfast room allowing all the guests to chat... How nice.. Usually people ignore me. Fantastic Free Wi-Fi. Toiletories. Towels. The rooms were equipped with trouser press. Hair Dryer. Tea / Coffee. Nice Cookies... Fantastic ... I have a pet hate for non en-suite hotel rooms. The room in the Central Guest house I was in was not En-suite, I had to go across the hallway to a shower room, which at first made me squirm. It was exclusive to me. Which was a relief. The point I want to make is. Don't be put off by a non en-suite room. Its not as bad as it seems. It was a pain to run across the hallway in the middle of the night, desperate for No1 & No2. Just made it.. Reminded me of a movie I watched with Jodi Foster. Having to lock one room to run across the hallway to open the other. (Yes I had to lock my room and unlock the loo every time). (In the end I just left the loo door open.) It was exciting and scary..... I was worried in case I bumped into anyone lurking in the shadows. Sadly no lurkers ! ( What a shame. I was kind of looking forward to some midnight Mania). On the whole. I enjoyed my stay and would do it again. Recommend this Guest House. The owners are a great source of conversation, Very friendly. Meet and Greet was above any 5* hotels I have stayed with... Great Job Marlene & Mike.
