My mum and I stayed here for 2 nights on a shopping trip to Gloucester and Cheltenham. It is ideally located, not far from junction 12 of the M5 and not far from Gloucester city centre. It is located in quiet town and as such we had 2 good quiet nights sleep. There is ample car parking, although I would have liked a better lit car park. The staff were very friendly upon arrival and at breakfast. Our room was clean, well maintained and very welcoming after a long drive. We had booked a twin room but in actual fact we stayed in a family room with a double and a single bed. Towels were provided as were shower gel and shampoo. There was plenty coffee and tea supplies for us to use, a trouser press and a table top ironing board should we choose to use them. Breakfast was a choice of continental or full english, so we tried both. The first morning we had cereals, toast and warm croissants with coffee, which was lovely. The second morning we chose to try the English breakfast, which comprised of bacon, sausage, fried egg, black pudding and tinned tomatoes. It was plenty big enough for us both but I personally thought the black pudding was too dry.
A minor disappointment was that the hotel didn't have a full time chef at the time of our visit and so we chose to ate in a public house in the vicinity on both evenings. We would have liked to try the hotel's food but went for the safe option of eating elsewhere.
In summary, this is a friendly quiet quaint hotel close to Gloucester city, which we would happily stay in again. read more
