An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Lovely staff, food, walks, the room was great. Great food and the chef came round to speak to each of us to make sure we all enjoyed our food. A really special place that we will go back to.
A couple of points to make though, they do not serve breakfast and there is nobody to hand a key back to on our leave which is a bit odd otherwise very highly recommended.

Lovely little place, good food and service, only issue I had, I was in the top floor double room, and it was unbearable Hot, even with 2 fans supplied in the room, considering it was only 24 degrees outside, I didn’t sleep well at all.
Other than that it’s a lovely place, I would stay again, but on colder days

Lovely serene location near the canal and river (might get busy when the weather is good)..Lovely traditional spacious and comfortable rooms, in good clean condition. Communication before arrival excellent. We weren't able to use the spa bath as the plumbing currently needs re-doing to prevent leaks and there is no shelf to put the toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast isn't available at the restaurant currently but there is Toby Carvery or the cafe at Over Farm next door. Location is convenient with a car being close to Gloucester itself.

This place is delightful, charming and wonderful for walking. There are narrow stairs you will need to carry luggage up so be aware. Ask in the restaurant for a bottle of water. The food in the restaurant is excellent, truly exceptionally delicious. The staff were all terrific. Their outdoor space is beautifully inviting. Parking is plentiful and free of charge. There os an EV station. As for our room, it may have beem the smallest they offer. It had two twin beds and a nice window to the small road in front. The beds were comfortable. The furnishings were simple yet sufficient. There was only one chair at a small desk where the kettle and coffee maker sat. The small in room frig didn’t work and was unplugged in the cabinet but it was not necessary for us. There is some noise from other rooms and people moving about in the way of creaking floors and water noise but it wasn’t bothersome during sleeping time. Think of it as a place to sleep rather than hang out in your room. We would stay here again for all of the positives it offered.

Lovely room, great decor, furnishings and well equipped. Good bathroom and shower. Room spotless.
Convenient location just off dual carriageway, but can hear road noise if windows open. We stayed during a heat wave, so the fan was very welcome.
Good communication and can check in and check out without seeing anyone.
The restaurant has a lovely waterside terrace, open for lunch and dinners apart from Mondays. Breakfast is not available at the hotel, but there is an excellent cafe and farm shop a few minutes walk away.

The shower in our room needs some work. The shower curtain was falling off the rail and there was a large black stain on the floor where water leaks onto the floor.
We loved your inn and it was a beautiful setting. The pub below was a bit pricey but the food was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and would tell our friends.

Nice boutique style hotel, just out of town but free parking. Bar/restaurant on site for nice food. Beautiful canal side location with outside tables for summer. No breakfast available but not a problem.

Room furnishings were high quality and we had a lovely view of the canal. The room included a fridge and fan, bed was comfy.
Staff were very helpful including when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the room.
The place was nicely located too next to a beautiful canal and the area was very safe.
The hotel and rooms were clean with the only issue being they used light biscuit carpet which showed a few stains

Booked this room for the Army v RAF rugby match at Kingsholm and was extremely impressed by the setting, the price and service.
Will be looking to book again next year for sure as it's now our "Go To" place to stay.

A lovely place to stay, right next to the canal. Room was nice, modern and spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful Parking was easy. The only negative was that our room was right at the top of the building and the weather was 20C. There is no air conditioning and it was unbearably hot, even with the fans that were provided and the window open.

Lovely stay, would come again. Nicely presented room and bed was comfortable. Lovely walks along the river on doorstep. Easy parking. My room was on second floor so I struggled a little bit to carry everything up. The room was very warm so I was grateful for the fan provided in the room. I would worry about how warm the 2nd floor would be in the summer. The email with check in information was great. The farm shop nearby is very good and useful.

Parking was easy/safe. Good location. Close for motorway & City. Theres a Toby carvery ( not dog friendly) 2 minute walk, farm shop - cafe not dog friendly & very expensive for a takeaway roll & sausage/cup of tea. Nice views, staff were helpful/pleasant.The lofthouse restaurant/bar appeared popular and dogs were permitted in a small area to the back of the restuarant. The food was nice, but limited in choice. The room was a good size, bed was comfy. However, the bathroom needs attention, the floor is mouldy due to the corner bath shower position, there was no plug for the bath, nor a bath mat to prevent slipping when showering. The milk was not replenished the next day to make tea/coffee. For a modern building I expected more from it, there are no usb sockets in the room. When travelling,we are usually expected to strip beds in most places we visit & did this the moring we left. The linnen on the bed was great clean, unfortunately i can't say the same for the duvet, it was badly stained, as was the matress [there were no protectors on the bed]. The has burn marks and stains on it.
