    great stay but small salad

    The staff was incredibly helpful and always ready to assist us. Our Luxury King Room was very comfortable, making our one-night stay enjoyable.

    The large Caesar salad we ordered was not as generous as expected.

    comfy room
    local attractions
    stained carpet

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We hit the local attractions like the historical docks and a lovely park nearby. The room was spacious and comfy, which made our stay relaxing. Just a heads up , while there were minor flaws in service, it was overall a good experience. Totally recommend it for a group getaway!

    One thing to note is that upon arrival, we noticed the carpet leading to our room was quite stained, which was a bit off-putting.

    The decor was charming and welcoming, with lovely touches throughout that made me feel right at home. The garden views were delightful, and the peaceful walks along the canal were a lovely surprise for my leisurely morning.

    thoughtful extras
    cozy sun terrace
    dinner reservation mix-up

    We loved our stay in the family suite, especially with the thoughtful little extras like a coffee machine and dog biscuits! There’s a lovely dog walk along the peaceful canal. A cozy sun terrace to relax and unwind. The only hiccup was a slight mix-up with our dinner reservation, but it was sorted out quickly. 😊

    Best food ever!

    We stayed for 2 nights and loved it! The room was nice and unique. The jacuzzi was a real treat. Breakfast was super tasty with lots of choices. Reni from the bar was really helpful too! Only wished the check-in was a bit smoother, but overall, it was a fab weekend getaway.

    malfunctioning jacuzzi
    limited room coffee options

    i recently stayed in gloucester and loved this place even more than before. the luxury king room was spacious with a fantastic view of the river, and the locally sourced breakfast was one of the best i’ve had in years. the warm and welcoming hosts made our city holiday truly memorable.

    jacuzzi function didn’t work correctly.

    fantastic dining
    breakfast facilities
    service shortcomings

    During our short stay, we found the location to be quite convenient for accessing local attractions. Our luxury king room was clean and comfortable, which made our downtime very pleasant. The food in the restaurant was truly standout, adding a nice touch to the overall experience. the lack of breakfast facilities was disappointing, especially since we had placed our order in advance and it wasn’t fulfilled.

    cooked breakfast

    Family with children excellent stay

    Gotta say the food here blew my mind, everything was fresh, the sausage was locally sourced and cooked to perfection. The breakfast had a huge pot of tea that just hit the spot, started our day right.

    Bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
