Bryn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was amazing, and big. Shower was sooooo good, but its over a bath and its quite a leg up to get in the bath. Bed was really comfy and we slept in till 07.00 which is something we don't do.

Lovely setting and excellent location as you could walk along a cycle track right into the city of Gloucester in just over half an hour

Lovely helpful, friendly staff

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We booked a luxury room but the plug in the sink didnt work properly, the shower head needs cleaning as the water only comes out of certain holes.

Rooms and restaurant were ideal for our overnight stop and proved to be in lovely condition in a pleasant location beside the river and canal basin.

A beautiful location just outside the busy city of Gloucester which gave us lots of restaurant options and a base to explore the Cotswolds

Will deffo revisit if I’m back in this area!

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rain shower was great and would go as hot as I like it. Wifi is excellent too :-) Comfy bed and pillows. It’s just a pity I was only there for one night.

A little out of the way along a canal with good walking tracks. Excellent staff and dining room. Room very comfortable with dual aspect windows so good flow through breeze.

Beautifully set near the river and canal. 40 minutes walk to the Gloucester quays through some lovely riverside countryside. Room spacious and spotless. Staff friendly, courteous and helpful. Meals were excellent!

Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Interesting location by canal and forest with pleasant walk and dining area. Food is a little expensive, but very high quality. Room was OK/good with a few things that could use a refresh. Having no reception area was a little odd. TV was small and jetted tub didn't work. Comfortable and quiet. Country setting but close to main access roads. Motorway is a few miles away in busy traffic.
Clive, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quirky, quiet place to stay between the river and the canal. Lovely, comfy room and quiet. The restaurant is open Weds onwards. There is a Toby Carvery a few minutes down the road but not dog friendly. Gloucester centre about 10 mins drive away. Good stop on the way to Wales.

Overnight stop

The stay at The Mooring House was very comfortable. I hadnt realised they didnt do breakfast but that wasnt a problem for us. The check in was simple and tho we arrived very early they put our bag in our room and sent us a text once it was ready.
PHILIP, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice but scruffy

The stay was nice. The room had lots of good features like a jacuzzi bath and a large fridge. However the room was a lot more run-down than was shown in the pictures. We wouldn't have minded this but it was one of the more expensive hotels in the area and it just seems like it wasn't being well looked after and the quality wasn't there for the money.
Dayne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spotless but window catches missing and plug missing from the bath. Staff very helpful.

Accommodation needs Attention

The condition of the accommodation is disappointing as the carpet is incredibly dirty could do with replacing for darker colour, our window was broken as was the tap and the iron. No central heating in room so a fan provided but you can’t keep this on at night so was quite cold. Bathroom very poor layout not enough space to get ready privately so only go with partner or close friend. Extractor not working. The location and surroundings nice and restaurant nice and breakfast really good but takes a very long time to come up to 45mins and it was only us. We spent a lot here over the weekend asked for a refund just on poor accommodation but was declined.
