hospitality tray fresh milk fresh fruit dry belly pork missing fatty layer additional gravy
the single room included a hospitality tray. i found nice biscuits and fresh milk in the fridge. breakfast impressed me with fresh fruit. i also enjoyed delicious scrambled eggs and salmon one morning.
the belly pork i ordered was somewhat dry. it was meaty and substantial though it lacked the tasty fatty layer i expected. i asked for extra gravy, which they happily provided and it helped with the dryness.

a nice visit

helpful staff ideal beer garden great menu essential amenities
The staff proved very helpful , always available to assist with requests or provide local information. i liked the beer garden a lot. It was ideal for enjoying a warm, sunny day. the restaurant presented a great menu, and the food preparation showed brilliance. the private cottage gave quiet and provided all essential amenities.
the room felt somewhat small, and reaching for tea or coffee in the wardrobe proved a bit awkward due to the limited space.

Wonderful stay near Stroud

generous space clean room friendly staff
The room offered generous space. I found it very clean. Breakfast and dinner were delicious (i loved the home baked bread). Staff were friendly and very helpful.
The emergency light in the room was very bright. This made it difficult to sleep, and i wish it could be dimmed or turned off.
