Nightmare at Bowden

The rooms allocated were on the top floor. There is no lift and we are both in our 70s and disabled. The staff changed the rooms, but one was over the kitchen, and the other next to what appeared to be a 747 jet testing area. I had to ask to be moved again in the middle of the night.

Reallly enjoyed the stay, the staff made it

All the staff were so professional and warm welcoming, everyone from the receptionist's, to the bar staff, cleaners and breakfast attendants. The hotel could do with a bit off a renovation for better bathroom facilities

Had a very nice stay with friends in this hotel on a B&B basis. The hotel was a good nightly rate and close to Gloucester so was a good choice for us. The property was clean and welcoming but looked a little tired around the edges and in need of a little updating, although it was nice and clean and the staff friendly. Our room was comfortable with clean and fresh linen, the bathroom also clean with fresh towels. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice which was on a buffet style. Very nice bread for toast and eggs could be prepared by request if you wanted them different from the fried supplied on the full English buffet bar. The staff at breakfast time were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them and you were always welcomed to the breakfast room with a friendly smile. I would happily stay at this hotel again if I was visiting the area.

Lovely building in nice setting. Room was old fashioned but spacious and clean. The staff were very good although check in is a slightly wierd set up and our room wasnt ready until shortly after 3pm. Overall lots to like with one big BUT, I paid £17/50 for the worst fish n chips ive ever had, and thats a lot of fish n chips!! Fish was awful, chips were not chips but fries and the mushy peas were countable in quantity, truly awful meal. I probably wont go again but as i say there were good aspects

Good hotel with lovely grounds & excellent staff.

Hotel is in a very good location. An old manor house. The inside of the premises looked like it was refurbished but the outside is in need of TLC & a very good clean. The grounds are lovely. Our bedroom was good apart from tea cups that were not washed. Over all a very nice stay. Good breakfast with plenty of choices. Dinner was good too. Excellent staff with very good customer service. We will visit again if in the area.

Nice weekend stopover

Very enjoyable stay after a day’s cycling. Ate in the bar at night - food was fine but not outstanding - service excellent. Breakfast on the other hand was very good indeed. Hotel has a strange layout in that there are no lifts - to get to our room you had to go up approx 15 steps, walk along a corridor, then descend another staircase - very strange and not too welcoming after 4 hours on a bicycle !!

We had a great one night stay in the hotel and the room was excellent. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Our only disappointment was there was no 4G available and the WI-FI didn’t work in the bedroom.
