“What stands out is the genuine, family-friendly atmosphere; homemade food, generous portions and accommodating service cater to all, including those with dietary needs. I found the location ideal, near woodland walks yet with easy access and ample parking; plus, families benefit from the children's playground. It's a comfortable base for exploring Gloucester and the Forest of Dean.”

acceptable stay with some drawbacks
cramped bathroom poor sound insulation
The bathroom felt cramped (like a tiny airplane lavatory). the hand basin was small and made washing difficult. sound insulation seemed poor. I could clearly hear other guests moving around. also, wi-fi was advertised, but it wasn't accessible from my room, requiring me to go to the bar to connect.

Excellent Stay with Great Food
generous portion peaceful atmosphere provided fan
The portions in the restaurant were generous exceeding expectations from the menu description. My steak and chips included onion rings grilled tomatoes and salad a pleasant surprise. I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere at night despite the location near a main road. The provided fan was a great touch.
The shower room was very small making it a bit inconvenient to move around freely. The sink size was also limited.
