A wonderful gem in a lovely quiet spot in Cheltenham.

Ok hvis man bare skal bruge et sted at sove en enkelt nat. Gåafstand til spisesteder og shopping.
Pros:

God beliggenhed og dejlig morgenmad👌
Meget stille område.

Cons:

Meget små enkeltsenge og ikke meget plads på værelset. (no.1)
Men ok for 1 nat.

Pros:

Dining room bar area very nice indeed.

Cons:

Bedroom carpet very tired and spoilt the room. No pillow protectors and pillow cases inside out. A mirror light in the bathroom would have been ideal to help avoid the bright light/extractor noise in the night. No food available in the evening - the restaurant was closed.

Would definitively visit again
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pleasant atmosphere. Close to bus stops for C'ham Spa railway station, town centre and many places in the area. Good cooked breakfast made to order and a buffet with a wide selection of pastries, yoghurt, cereals, drinks, etc. Plenty of storage space. Very quiet neighbourhood. A sheet was provided as an alternative for the thick, hot duvet upon request. Large bed.
I had a single room which was good enough, but I had a peek into some of the double rooms when they were being cleaned and they looked absolutely fantastic.
I would definitely visit again.

Cons:

The wash basin was a bit small and the shower a bit odd: a continuous stream of cold water with hot water injected by some sort of pump (or maybe the other way round) at intervals, so water temperature varied. Nice, strong beam though.

Pros:

I had porridge and toast. Probably personal preference but I often find porridge out quite chunky/lacking milk. I did ask for syrup and added milk to it but both were available. I also had a drink at the bar the night I was there, it was a Monday, I was the only one there. Had a nice chat with woman behind bar, also helps run the hotel, very friendly. They allowed me to leave my suitcase while i explored on the Tuesday. Bedroom very nice, comfortable, quiet, had a bath which i was longing for after just coming back from Macmillan Hike in Northumberland. Had a teddy bear on my bed which was a nice touch :) Lovely area, loved the decor.

Cons:

They forgot to put towels in my room but as soon as I asked for them they got them straight away. I did notice a large black mark on the bath, needs repair. I think the bed was 2 singles pushed together as there was a dip in the middle, it was quite noticeable.

Lovely hotel with exceptional staff
Pros:

We liked the calm and quiet position in the town and the convenient parking. We had slightly complicated needs which the staff dealt with with understanding and efficiency. In fact, it was the caring staff who made our stay so enjoyable. Our room was amazing,with many original features and yet all modern conveniences and luxuries. We highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

We, liked the location, breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

We weren't greeted by anyone, wondered if we were in the right place, the hotel is nice, but was like staying at my nans, clean, but dishevelled needed a freshen up. For the money we paid, I expected it to be spotless.
