Covenient, semi rural location very close to Gloucester city centre. Attractive building on the edge of a canal and very close to the river. Our family room was huge and well set up.

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.

His is a delightful place. However it is worth noting that the Lock keepers attached is closed on a Monday and does not do evening meals after 4 on Sunday. It used to serve breakfast but was not open when we were here.

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.
