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.

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.

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!

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.

An awful experience we didn’t receive an email apparently sent to say it is self check in on a Monday evening. Arrived and it was all in darkness, called the contact number numerous times but it just went to an answerphone. Hotels.com also tried to contact them. Finally messaged us later in the evening but we had already had to find somewhere else. They did say that they would be in contact regarding a resolution but yet to hear!!!

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.

Lovely place to stay, nice walk or £7.00 taxi ride to docks. Room a bit cold, until fan heater warmed it up. Bath needs a mat as a high step into shower. Great meal and friendly staff. Would certainly stay again

10/10

We had a lovely stay with our Sproodle. Danielle and the team were very welcoming. The room was very clean and a good size with Kingsize bed, 2 seater sofa, desk and wardrobe. The En-suite also had a bath with power shower. The on-site restaurant the lock keepers was fantastic, great food and service. Would definitely stay again.

4/10

Public areas grubby, underwhelming reception at check in. Car park not lit and in dark wooded area (no tarmac). Public area carpets filthy, room carpets much the same and room cleaned to minimal standard, door very insecure, window latch falling off, sink tap handle missing, shower cold. Walls paper thin and a lot of banging drum and bass from another room (not hotels fault just a complete moron).Terrible pillows. Restaurant expensive and average, staff didn't really want to be there. Could be a lovely place if some time and money was put into it

Extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Dealt with dietary issues without batting an eye. Food was delicious. Clean private rooms. Easy to find and quick to get anywhere.
1-night trip

4/10

To be described as luxury and to be charged over £100 for a the night was poor. There was no one to meet and greet, no reception etc. Not an issue in its own right but there wasn't enough toilet roll for the stay! No plug in the basin or the bath. The room was cold and despite turning the thermostat up it made no difference. Food facilities were closed. I don't complain but this was overpriced for the experience. The towels were also very small! Tap handle was missing as well.
1-night trip

8/10

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.
1-night trip

6/10

Overall would recommend for a short stay. Clean and comfortable. Communication before arrival could of be better as we tried to call to confirm booking no answer on days when they where opened. The room was pleasant but too warm as there was no obvious way to turn the underfloor heating down
