Guest reviews

What guests think

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Travellers describe The Mooring Post as a comfortable base outside Gloucester, with welcoming staff, but recurring issues with self-check-in and maintenance (heating, broken fittings) mean experiences vary, especially early in the week when operations feel limited.

A lovely place to stay, right next to the canal. Room was nice, modern and spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful Parking was easy. The only negative was that our room was right at the top of the building and the weather was 20C. There is no air conditioning and it was unbearably hot, even with the fans that were provided and the window open.

Parking was easy/safe. Good location. Close for motorway & City. Theres a Toby carvery ( not dog friendly) 2 minute walk, farm shop - cafe not dog friendly & very expensive for a takeaway roll & sausage/cup of tea. Nice views, staff were helpful/pleasant.The lofthouse restaurant/bar appeared popular and dogs were permitted in a small area to the back of the restuarant. The food was nice, but limited in choice. The room was a good size, bed was comfy. However, the bathroom needs attention, the floor is mouldy due to the corner bath shower position, there was no plug for the bath, nor a bath mat to prevent slipping when showering. The milk was not replenished the next day to make tea/coffee. For a modern building I expected more from it, there are no usb sockets in the room. When travelling,we are usually expected to strip beds in most places we visit & did this the moring we left. The linnen on the bed was great clean, unfortunately i can't say the same for the duvet, it was badly stained, as was the matress [there were no protectors on the bed]. The has burn marks and stains on it.

Covenient, semi rural location very close to Gloucester city centre. Attractive building on the edge of a canal and very close to the river. Our family room was huge and well set up.
