This is a beautiful period hotel that is family run. The reception staff and the restaurant staff were fantastically welcoming and friendly. The mattress was a little too squishy for me. The bathroom tap wasn’t capable of running cold water. The WiFi password didn’t work. There was only one bath towel. However we understand how difficult it is for small businesses and overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Lovely hotel with a rather small car park

Really clean and well decorated. Excellent friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel car park was rather small with spaces that are too narrow.

Very nice place and staff are great, the breakfast was delicious and also the restaurant had great food it tasted like Michelin star quality foods, all around are clean, and we found out there that it was once The Duke of Wellington's house so they are trying hard to keep that feel alive so some might say need upgrades in some places but then you loose that feel. Next time in the area surly will be staying here again. Thank you hotel team

Traditional hotel

Traditional hotel, room was quite small but only stayed 1 night so wasn't a major issue. Bathroom was also small, there was no door on the shower, just a screen so water went all over the bathroom. Food was good and staff were helpful and pleasant.

Nice hotel but rooms vary

Well located, quiet hotel in a good location in Cheltenham. Staff attentive and helpful. Standard Room was very small and a bit dated. Wifi was virtually none existent in the room. Good breakfast and a small free car park which was very useful.

The hotel is excellently located a few minutes walk from lots of eateries and the main shopping high street. There is a park just opposite good for pooch walking before bed/in the morning. The hotel is dog friendly and the staff were all just lovely. Would highly recommend. The only thing to note is the pool is a 5 min walk away and was unfortunately closed during our stay. The rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel was quiet despite it's proximity to the centre of Cheltenham. Would definitely return here.

1 night stay in August

Hotel appeared to have a gym and pool, this turned out to be off site, which I dont think was clear from their listing. Hotel itself was good, room a bit small but we only had standard. Shower temp in room 8 was way too hot couldn't get it to cool off and needs some attention

Wish we had had the option of reserving king bed beforehand, as we got a room with 2 full beds and would have preferred a king (the friends we were traveling with got a king and a much fancier room, but I had made both reservations). Room was very spacious, but bathroom had 2 lights out which didn’t get fixed for the 2 days we were there (we were told that the maintenance person doesn’t work on the days we were there). No elevator, so lugging our 50-pound bags up and down 3 flights of stairs was difficult. Breakfast was great! Overall a positive experience, but I was somewhat disappointed with the things I mentioned.
