Nice reasonable price hotel, with friendly staff but need to do something about the food
Pros:

The hotel and staff were good, friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The food options were very poor, we had an issue when booking a table, they only served food until 8.pm so they made it VERY clear that if we hadn’t sat down and placed orders by 7.45 we would not be fed, so we went with it and were in the bar for 7.15, looked at menus and started to order about 7.30. This was ok for the service but a lot of what was on the menu wasn’t available, we ordered 3 steaks, to be told only have 1 steak, pies were off - there was a long list. One of our party wanted to go elsewhere but we continued with other choices. The final result was a very mediocre meal.

Not the best.
Pros:

Friendly and clean.

Cons:

We had booked a luxury room. When we arrived in the room was a list of information including the WiFi password, we needed the internet so put in the code. It didn’t work, we went to reception where we were told that the WiFi didn’t work in our room. That was very disappointing. After a long conversation we managed to change rooms for the second night of our stay but had to sacrifice our luxury room. Very disappointing. Breakfast only served between 9:00 and 10:00 after most people had left for the day. Again disappointing.

Awful loud piped music and lack of atmosphere
Pros:

Visited this weekend for the folk festival ( none resident ).....very clean and tidy and the food very good but lacking in atmosphere been in previous years for the same festival and it was always a good venue with music sessions but after its refurb it lost its appeal to the musicians and followers .. and aVERY BIG NO to the awful piped music being played far too loud , very annoying ...

Excellent, comfortable stay, good food and friendly staff.
Pros:

Friendly welcome. Room was perfect and comfortable. We traveled with our dog and were able to eat and drink in the bar accompanied by our dog. Staff were friendly and the food was very good. Parking right at the back of the pub. Upton-upon-Severn is a nice place to visit, proper England!

Cons:

We could not fault anything!

Very Disappointed
Pros:

We have been here before. It used to be a lovely hotel with good service and a la carte food. It has really done downhill , now with Donnington Brewery. Evening food was terrible. I am sure that the pie was burnt. I had little respect from the staff presumably as the chef was her partner. Very disappointing for our anniversary weekend and expensive too.
