Pros:

The interiors, the location, the friendly and helpful staff, the size of our room and the way it was furnished. The size of the car park, the food.

Cons:

The guests in the room above us were noisy

Our first stay at the Old Court Hotel. Would recommend.
Pros:

Excellent staff. Great food. Fabulous location.
Easy parking.

Cons:

We did book a 'compact room' and it was! Was fine for one night. Not a fan of the 'snow soap' especially for washing hair. Luckily I'd packed my own shower gel.

A few improvements
Pros:

Location, interesting building , staff were friendly

Cons:

Room we stayed in overlooked the garden but no voile curtain for privacy, had to draw curtains which wasn't ideal as it was daylight and hot.
Good selection at buffet breakfast, disappointed with hot choice of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Extremely salty, salmon mixed in with the eggs which meant it was partially cooked, strange way to serve them.
Evening meal, overcooked hake, very dry and new potatoes that had a texture suggesting, they had been sat or reheated .
Such a shame as the menu had great choices.

A pleasant stay with my wife and dog for a couple of nights exploring the area.
Pros:

Comfortable bed and dog friendly. Great breakfast and good size dinner portions. Olde Wrld building with great patio and garden area.

Car parking spaces a little too narrow and short for modern cars. (Although plenty of spaces available.)

Lovely area and fantastic staff
Pros:

The staff were wonderful and welcoming, the Sunday roast was amazing .

Cons:

We were warned about the noise in the vermilion room but the room was literally shaking. We couldn't hear each other and yes it really spoiled the night. Despite being warned we felt it was underplayed.

Lovely hotel, good food, good staff. I would come again.
Pros:

Lovely period building with original features, very quaint. quiet - even though we were above the bar. 5 minutes from the lovely forest of Dean and Symonds Yat etc. A lovely breakfast and fantastic staff.

Cons:

Room a little tired, could have had more plug sockets for the modern world of charging devices etc. Shower could of had either a door/curtain or bigger screen to help prevent water getting on the floor.

A lovely if noisy stay
Pros:

The dinner service and setting were lovely, as were the staff.

Cons:

The bar is very noisy late into the night (beyond 23:00 by the time things finally fell quiet) and because of where my room was I was kept awake by the din.
