Homestays in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

This is a functional little hotel that is close to the train station. Don't expect luxury, but you can expect friendly and warm service, and a spacious room. The reason I booked this hotel was due to the rail strikes. I was on a business trip and meant to be taking the train to London that evening but wasn't able to. Furthermore, it was the Cheltenham races and all the other places had already been booked out. This room was a lifesaver for me. I was exhausted from an intense itinerary and needed a place to sleep and freshen up. I was pointed to the supermarket close by. As there were all the cutlery and even a microwave in the room, I had no issues rustling up a hot meal for myself. I am giving this hotel a high rating because the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I just want to make it very clear that guests need to understand this is not a fancy establishment designed for holidaying, but if you are travelling for work purposes, this will come close to being home away from home.

This was an excellent hotel. Service was great. From James in reception who welcomed us with professionalism and warmth & tips to visit, to the restaurant staff who were helpful and responsive. The chef was great - food was tasty and to a great standard. The housekeeping staff were friendly and accommodating as well. We had an awesome and restful stay. Our dog enjoyed the bed and treats as well as walks in the beautiful grounds. Breakfast was excellent and the rooms were clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We will make tgis hotel an regular on our list.

Having read the reviews on here I had a vague idea of what to expect and wasn't looking forward to it.... how wrong I was to trust some of these reviews! Yes it's in a bit of a rough and ready area and there are some shady characters hanging around in the evening... however don't bother them and they don't bother you. Parking is as advertised out front and space for about 3 cars but I believe you can park outside no 74 too. The building itself is very clean and tidy once inside albeit a little dated in places. I didn't use the breakfast included with my room as had other plans but I did check out the breakfast/kitchen area and was very impressed at how clean and modern it was and how many seats were available overlooking a well kept garden. I had room 205 at the very top of the property overlooking the street and found it to be very clean. Nice clean bedding and towels provided as well as tea and coffee facilities although I was missing a spoon which was a bit annoying but I didn't let it ruin my day like some would. The bathroom was clean and had enough toilet roll for my stay, the shower did have a bit of the beading hanging off at the bottom and a bit of mould around the edges but it's not the end of the world and I survived. The sink provided very hot water from the hot tap but the cold tap did turn when I used it which was comical however it still worked as it should, i have mentioned it in the review to the hotel as I didn't see any of the owners whilst there. Would I stay again... probably not as I don't plan on going back to Gloucester anytime soon but if I were to go back I certainly would consider it as the room was almost 50% cheaper than alternatives in the same area! Oh and if you're over 16 and have a driving licence there are a few VOI scooter parking areas nearby which are a great way to get around for 17p per minute!!

Stayed for two nights on the 24/25 August. The images on there website is not a true reflection of what we actually experienced. The mattress was really thin and uncomfortable. There was no door to the shower cubicle. Once flushed the toilet took over an hour to refill, did report the problem but nothing was done. As for breakfast not the best experience, on both days had to ask for cutlery. The spoons that were there for cereals were soup spoons, the glasses for fruit juice were clearly dirty. The toaster didn’t work properly. The first day at breakfast the waitress looked as if she didn’t want to be bothered, she was even serving you with her coat on very unprofessional. Overall not a good experience. Won’t be recommending this place.

This was by far the cheapest accommodation available on Hotels.com for the day of my visit to Cheltenham. Cheaper even than the local inns and well-known chain hotels. So I'm confused by the many negative reviews for the place from people expecting steak at burger prices. Yes, there are negatives. The room carpet sported several large stains of dubious origin, but that's perhaps inevitable when the breakfast is self-service and in-room. The wardrobe door handle came off, but was still usable. The electric shower sounded like a jet engine; could be a problem for some. Into nitpicking territory, the tv was small, relative to the size of the room. Guest parking is minimal, and Pittville Circus has double-yellows. Yes, there are positives. The room and bed were comfortable and warm. There's a bath and a shower; rooms in the budget price bracket don't often have both. Plenty of clean, matching towels and the usual toiletries. As well as the requisite tea/coffee/biscuits, there's also a cupboard containing a fridge, microwave, cutlery/crockery and enough cereal, pastries, juice, yogurts, tinned and fresh fruit to easily feed two at breakfast. The building retains many original architectural features. The place lands somewhere between an old-school seaside lodging house and Mr Bean's bedsit. Secure building/room access is via a code provided upon booking confirmation. I'd stay again. It's somewhere to sleep and at around £50 for the night, you shouldn't expect more than that.

Sitting by an open fire on a cold Sunday afternoon we knew we were in for a treat as the aroma of the carvery reached us. We had been welcomed by Kaz and Steve earlier and settled down. The Linden Tree has a traditional decor and quiz nights and pool tournaments are organised. There is a skittle alley too. The food is always tasty and fresh and I especially enjoy the Sunday lunch which has a good choice of meats and vegetables and is amazing value. I recommend adding more roast potatoes than you think you'll eat....they're so tasty you'll soon polish them off!

Overall, the price is good, the room is a bit small, only 15 rooms, the location is on the side of the road, a bit noisy! Running in the morning 🏃

First off it's really important to know that this hotel is actually a community enterprise and not just a hotel! So for a start - by staying here you are actually investing in disadvantaged groups in Cheltenham as well as having an impeccable nights stay. The room was a decent enough size and the bed was extremely comfortable. Two good sized windows meant it had plenty light. The bathroom and the room itsself were immaculate - it was obvious that cleaning was done regularly and properly. The decor is nice throughout the hotel and was a lovely place to stay and have breakfast. The breakfast was served promptly and the menu had good variety. I also asked Sam for some extras due to the nature of my stay and all of them were accommodated and at a reasonable price!!! All in all - it was a great stay and I would definitely book again. Keep it up!!!

The room is not big, the layout is very comfortable, the breakfast is delicious, and it is not far from the center of town. The only problem is the location. According to the positioning and navigation provided by Ctrip, the hotel cannot be found. Instead, it is a building under construction on the roadside. It is dark at night. I can only find the correct address by asking the surrounding residents. It is about a few hundred years away. meters, this needs to be corrected in time to avoid misleading again.

The perfect location to rest after all day adventures in The Cotswolds. Central and easy to go off to lots of villages and towns from. And Bourton is close by and divine. Jill is a wonderful host. Her husband does a great brekky (lots of options from fruit and yoghurt) to the full bacon, egg, sausage etc. Lovely views to the paddock, a great shower and bath, cosy rooms, full tea and coffee supplies. Only negative is that you can hear creaking from the other rooms (and your own) but if you’ve smashed yourself by filling the days adventuring about, even that won’t be a bother. Thanks for your hospitality and welcome! I hope to return in 2024.
