Best Stonehouse Hotels

We were so looking forward to staying at the hotel on our route doing The Cotswold Way. It was a bit off track but we were prepared to walk the extra couple of miles to get the experience here. It’s a grand place though the deco could do with updating. The grounds are lovely, the nearby church is impressive. Our room was ok, clean enough, hotel is a bit quirky to get around. We were dining with friends and looking forward to this. There didn’t seem much choice for non meat eaters on the menu. Took ages to get served, and then 2of the 4 starters came, a fair wait before one of the waiters spotted part of our order was missing and quickly brought the rest out. There was a long wait between starters and mains. Staff clearly seemed to be struggling that evening, it was a weekday and seemed fairly busy. I had asked whether I could have fries instead of the potato croquets as these were wrapped with bacon and I didn’t eat meat. The waiter agreed, however I subsequently noticed I had got charged for the fries separately when I had asked to have instead of. The meal was at best average. However the continental breakfast was nice and had a good selection. Staff were attentive and polite. We came away thinking the place is overrated.

A Travelodge is a Travelodge, you know what you're getting! Rooms were very clean, bed and pillows really comfy but what made our 2 night stay special was the staff. Unbelievably welcoming, helpful, friendly and cheerful, even after a very long shift. Really handy having Starbucks next door too!!

We were helped upstairs with our luggage when we arrived in spite of being rather early for check in. The apartment is very well equipped. We were amazed to find a dishwasher. The two large double beds were very comfortable. The shower was amazing. All in all, we were delighted with the accommodation. If you are planning to book this accommodation, please be aware that the stairs to the bedrooms may be a little difficult for some. However, help was on hand with luggage which was excellent. We didn't sample the food as we were out (at the 3 Choirs Festival) in the evenings as well as day time.

This was my second time staying at The Stroud Hotel this year. This trip was even better than the first time. The hotel now has a fantastic beer garden in the front which can be used throughout the year. All the bedrooms are very tastefully decorated with light and airy decor, plenty or wardrobe space. The rooms have great amenities including a coffee machine, water and hairdryer. In the bathroom the shower is very powerful, with fluffy towels and gorgeous smelling toiletries makes it a perfect place to unwind. The restaurant menu has plenty of things to choose from, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the hotel and all the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We were lucky enough to indulge in fantastic cocktails to go with our lunch and dinner. After all the food walking into the very pretty and picturesque town was the perfect touch. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff which makes this the perfect hotel for any type trip! Cannot wait to go back!
