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.
Its riverside-and-canal setting is quiet and pleasant, and Gloucester’s docks are reachable by a 30–40 minute walk or a short drive. Food is widely praised, though the restaurant’s opening is limited early in the week and private functions can restrict access; breakfast availability also varies. Cleanliness ranges from spotless rooms to grubby public areas and worn carpets, with a few reports of pests and limescaled or faulty bathroom fixtures. Expect a scenic, low-key stay with good meals, but double-check opening hours and access instructions.

Parking is generally easy, though the car park is poorly lit and untarmacked at night. Several guests also report the on-site EV chargers were out of order.

Quiet, scenic setting between the river and canal just outside Gloucester, with pleasant walks. Reaching the docks takes about a 30–40 minute walk or a short drive, which some find a little out of the way.
