Pros:

The staff were really friendly

Cons:

We stayed in room 9, after a long drive from Cornwall for a course/ exam for myself the next day we instantly got met with Cousin sitting on the chair and it breaking.
Dinner although the chef listened to my request of how I liked my steak the Sirloin was pure gristle ( not a marble which I wouldn't have minded) so most of it was wasted.
When retiring to the room as I desperately needed a good night's sleep, the noise from the Aircon?! And paper thin walls hearing the other rooms was torture!! I was also bitten multiple times and I have auto immune disorders, I was covered in hives and in agony and still am with the burning. Having travelled all day, to not sleep all night before a 10 hour course and Xmas was horrendous! Once it was light in the morning I checked the bed to see what the hell I was reacting so badly too and found bed bugs and rent a kill under the beds full of critters!!!
I had to be at my location and hour away first thing and didn't get chance to say a thing, my cousin went back and stripped the beds to find yet more bugs all within the beds.
Once I finally have recovered I will be in contact but right now on the long journey back and extremely poorly ( as is my cousin but she doesn't have the same conditions as me)
Tearful, exhausted and absolutely gutted, I Never complain but this was hideous I'm afraid 😭

Really added to our South West holiday experience.
Pros:

A very nice, comfortable old inn . Central and ideal for exploring the town.

Cons:

Unbeatably, it doesn’t have the facilities of a modern hotel. Stair, steps etc had to be navigated

Rustikales und ordentliches Landhotel

Way too hot. Avoid Room 28
Pros:

Location convenient

Cons:

Dated, overpriced. Room too hot. At least 25 degrees C and windows only opened about 1”. Bathroom even hotter and no openable windows. Upon inspection in morning we appeared to be next to a boiler room.

Comfortable and reasonably priced stopover on our journey.
Pros:

Staff were all outstanding. Friendly and helpful. Restaurant also very good - variety and quality.

Cons:

I like hot water in shower etc but the hot water was extremely hot - there was a warning sign to be fair but I wonder if the top temperature could be thermostatically controlled.

A pleasant one night stay in a good location. Tewkesbury is worth a visit.
Pros:

The property was in a good position, opposite the abbey and close to the river and town. The room and bathroom were small but fine for an overnight stay. The staff were nice and friendly.

Cons:

Dogs are allowed in the eating areas which felt unhygienic. We were going to eat in the restaurant but there was one dog barking and another panting, at the next table. Dogs were also present at breakfast. It is an old property so it was a bit of a trek getting to our room, upstairs and along corridors.
