Reviews and Ratings
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were newly refurbished and had a bathtub and shower. It was great to have facilities to make a cup of tea right in the room. However, I wish there were flat sheets on the bed as an alternative to the quilt.
The hotel is situated in a very green area outside Gloucester, providing a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, with disabled facilities available, breakfast included, and facilities to make a cup of tea. The service was exceptionally welcoming and considerate, with lovely waiters and waitresses. The location offers beautiful gardens overlooking the lake, ideal for exploring the nearby Cotswolds. While the dining experience may be pricey if not included in the rate, the overall stay offers good value for money.
