Room was amazing, and big. Shower was sooooo good, but its over a bath and its quite a leg up to get in the bath. Bed was really comfy and we slept in till 07.00 which is something we don't do.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We booked a luxury room but the plug in the sink didnt work properly, the shower head needs cleaning as the water only comes out of certain holes.
Restaurant and staff, fantastic- room big let down. Tiny, cold with no functional heating, felt very cold aesthetically as well in comparison to the restaurant which was great, with great food and customer service
What a beautiful place.. entrance, parking, inside and outside amazing.. room was beautiful and very well presented. Will be booking again next year for our stay
Thank you. What a great job you’re doing
Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rain shower was great and would go as hot as I like it. Wifi is excellent too :-) Comfy bed and pillows. It’s just a pity I was only there for one night.

Liked: Cleanliness
On the plus side it was a last minute booking because another hotel let us down. Room was pleasant if small and bed comfortable.
Less good was the staff in the pub who didn’t really feel the rooms were their problem. We should have had an email to explain access, key-safe, password and check-in/checkout but didn’t.
Website says breakfast available but actually it isn’t on Sunday.
A little out of the way along a canal with good walking tracks. Excellent staff and dining room.
Room very comfortable with dual aspect windows so good flow through breeze.
Beautifully set near the river and canal. 40 minutes walk to the Gloucester quays through some lovely riverside countryside. Room spacious and spotless. Staff friendly, courteous and helpful. Meals were excellent!
Quirky, quiet place to stay between the river and the canal. Lovely, comfy room and quiet. The restaurant is open Weds onwards. There is a Toby Carvery a few minutes down the road but not dog friendly. Gloucester centre about 10 mins drive away. Good stop on the way to Wales.
The stay at The Mooring House was very comfortable. I hadnt realised they didnt do breakfast but that wasnt a problem for us. The check in was simple and tho we arrived very early they put our bag in our room and sent us a text once it was ready.
Interesting location by canal and forest with pleasant walk and dining area. Food is a little expensive, but very high quality. Room was OK/good with a few things that could use a refresh. Having no reception area was a little odd. TV was small and jetted tub didn't work. Comfortable and quiet. Country setting but close to main access roads. Motorway is a few miles away in busy traffic.

Nice but scruffy
The stay was nice. The room had lots of good features like a jacuzzi bath and a large fridge. However the room was a lot more run-down than was shown in the pictures. We wouldn't have minded this but it was one of the more expensive hotels in the area and it just seems like it wasn't being well looked after and the quality wasn't there for the money.
Lovely place.
Excellent food. Very friendly staff especially the owner who spoils my dog with ham from the kitchen.
Just came back from our second stay there and looking forward to the next time.
