Well appointed hotel with lovely views across the Nailsworth valley. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a huge bed. Didn't use the restaurant for dinner, but breakfast is excellent. We have stayed here three times now and have not been disappointed.

The perfect place to stay.

Our stay here was excellent. Reception staff were really welcoming and helpful.Our room fabulous and spotless. Great thick curtains which completely blocked out the light. The food was amazing. It arrived quickly and hot. There is plenty of car parking. We can not fault this hotel and its staff and would highly recommend it.

Good enough that I'd go back!

Great place to stay, been a few times now. Always clean and warm with a friendly face at checkin. Only feedback I'd give is that the shower pressure in each room I've stayed in hasn't been very good - if thats all thats wrong though, I'll still be back!

This hotel is in a beautiful location - our room was clean and welcoming. It was hot with no AC but there was a fan in the wardrobe. Plenty of parking too.

Great break, would stay again.

Stay was excellent, in extremely warm weather. The room was advised as being a quiet room at the rear. However with the temperature, we had the windows open wide, to be greeted by the continual sound of the air con units, until 11 p.m. Staff, and service are excellent, superb breakfast. Would certainly stay again.

When you look at the photos there are cows and serenity.What you get if you stay in the tower room is a very busy road instead and a poor nights sleep. Not for me I am afraid,

Avoid.

Piping hot room, windows that cant fully open, guests snoring and the walls were so thin I couldnt sleep. Bathroom shower took only 2 or 3 minutes till it was overflowing due to blocked pipes. Horrible, expensive food at the restaurant. However, staff are lovely and the location is nice.
