Tired and Dirty
Public areas grubby, underwhelming reception at check in. Car park not lit and in dark wooded area (no tarmac). Public area carpets filthy, room carpets much the same and room cleaned to minimal standard, door very insecure, window latch falling off, sink tap handle missing, shower cold. Walls paper thin and a lot of banging drum and bass from another room (not hotels fault just a complete moron).Terrible pillows. Restaurant expensive and average, staff didn't really want to be there. Could be a lovely place if some time and money was put into it

Not the best experience
To be described as luxury and to be charged over £100 for a the night was poor. There was no one to meet and greet, no reception etc. Not an issue in its own right but there wasn't enough toilet roll for the stay! No plug in the basin or the bath. The room was cold and despite turning the thermostat up it made no difference. Food facilities were closed. I don't complain but this was overpriced for the experience. The towels were also very small! Tap handle was missing as well.

Accommodation needs Attention
The condition of the accommodation is disappointing as the carpet is incredibly dirty could do with replacing for darker colour, our window was broken as was the tap and the iron. No central heating in room so a fan provided but you can’t keep this on at night so was quite cold. Bathroom very poor layout not enough space to get ready privately so only go with partner or close friend. Extractor not working.
The location and surroundings nice and restaurant nice and breakfast really good but takes a very long time to come up to 45mins and it was only us. We spent a lot here over the weekend asked for a refund just on poor accommodation but was declined.

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!

Late arrival of entry code
No staff on site early in the week. Booking said entry code would be sent 24 hours in advance, but after leaving messages, code arrived by text message 45 mins before check-in time and by email just after midnight. Rather stressful.
Assuming you can get in the building, the room was fine.

Overnight stop
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.
