Top Stroud Hotel Reviews

Queens Hotel Cheltenham

8/10 Good

"AC was not very good, fortunately it wasn’t too hot when we visited, but would imagine a heat wave would be tough. Hotel was nice, showing its age in places. Staff were helpful and friendly!"

Wild Thyme & Honey

10/10 Excellent

"Ive stayed in nicer rooms , ive ate in nicer bars but ultimately its the people that make a hotel. And the people at wilde thyme and honey are fantastic. A special shout out to Izy who couldn't do enough to help. The rooms are cosy and warm with thoughtful touches like pillow spray and a spot of sloe gin which was beautiful, the on site restaurant/ pub was lovely with a great drinks selection. The pantry is a useful addition for extra bits that you may need during your stay. One genuine gripe is that the car park is dangerously dark after dark. There is no lighting at all. All in all it was great. I would return for sure."

Stratton House Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel and well run"

Kings Head

10/10 Excellent

"Kings Head was truly a wonderful experience! From the second I arrived the staff was so welcoming and friendly. Offering recommendations for things to do/see in the area. The room was so spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The complimentary cookies were such a sweet touch. The breakfast each morning was also delicious with attentive staff. I had dinner at the hotel as well one night and couldn’t recommend it enough. Truly wish I stayed longer to enjoy the hotel! Highly recommend!!!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol North

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel environment, clean, well-kept room, but the gym and swimming pool was too small to accommodate many people at once."
