Top Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Bucketts Way Motel

8/10 Good

"Easy access to town retail and hospitality venues"

Barrington Hideaway- River Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"I would have stayed a week if I could have! More time to enjoy more cups of tea on the deck with the sound of birdsong and the gently flowing river below. This place is idyllic. Feels like the most secluded, peaceful place, but 5 minutes drive from the nearest pub or bakery. The owners were helpfully responsive to my email enquiry before our stay, but left us alone to enjoy the experience when we were there. The cottages are well away from the house and the garden is designed so that the cottages are fairly private from each other. "
