Travelled to Cheltenham for business and stayed 2 nights at the hotel. Polite and professional staff at reception during check-in and check-out, as well as in the restaurants.
Room including shower room were clean and well presented.
Would have preferred a chair to work at the desk instead of a stool - a minor point.
Didn't have time to use the pool etc.
Hotel is about 10 minutes drive from the centre for more eating places.
The hotel service was good and the staff members were helpful! But somehow my booking via Trip.com changed to ticket.com for an unknowns reason that led to double charge of my booking. In the end, the staff members helped sorting out the issue.
The experience felt very luxurious . When we went into our rooms it was more than we expected the standards . The breakfast was a simple English breakfast.
Stayed for 1 night with breakfast with my son and husband . Had a multiple room ( double and single bed ) .
Room was very clean , good size with a desk and chair . Wardrobe , hairdryer and iron facility. Also good sized Tv .
Bathroom again clean and supplied with towels , hair and shower gel .
The added bonus was access to the fitness suite ( pool and gym ) .
Hotel contained a bar and separate restaurant area . We didn’t have to book a table , we were seated straight away . Food was slightly expensive in price , but adequate.
Breakfast was a buffet , well presented, a variety of choice of cooked and cold choices .
The only thing I would say was a bit of a “ let down” , was paying £7 to park our car in their private car park .
Overall a lovely hotel , to which I would definitely return to !
The Reception lady was also very happy , friendly and chatty 😁
Everything was fine except for the behavior of one employee at the reception—a lady, though I don’t want to mention her name. Also, in the room, there’s only one bottle of water provided, even if there are two guests. And if we ask for another bottle, they say we have to buy it. We’re paying £87 per night just for an overnight stay, and yet there are no additional services—not even complimentary water.
I stayed here alone for business. It was a good location for me as I was driving somewhere the next day, but this hotel didn’t seem to be near anywhere so you couldn’t walk to a town or anything.
The room was nice, and comfortable.
The swimming pool was ok but the larger hot tub was cold in temperature in my opinion. I also didn’t like that the lockers in changing rooms needed a padlock to be used. As a hotel guest I don’t make a habit of carrying a padlock with me for use in a situation like this. So I had to carry all my stuff into the pool area rather than leave in the locker room.
The bar could definitely do with a face lift to make it a nicer place to sit in an evening, especially as there isn’t really anywhere else to go. The food I had was ok at best, breakfast was also good.
Sending kids to summer camp. Booked two nights in the Ambassador Suite. The hotel is definitely old. The suite is nice. Although it is old, it is well maintained. There is also a bathtub. The service is just so-so. It is only a four-star hotel. You have to carry your own luggage. The breakfast is OK.
Living in the Tudor Dynasty hotel 500 years ago is a unique experience, and the room is quite large, the bathroom is also very good, the hotel is located on the ancient pedestrian street of Gloucester, a short distance from the cathedral, the downstairs bar is full of medieval style and the price is very affordable. Definitely recommended. The legendary bath water temperature is unstable~ It doesn't exist to adjust it. The stairs are really narrow but they are the characteristics of the old house!
Lovely hotel!
Slightly ”disappointed” by the dinner service. We arrived at 6:30pm, ordered our meals swiftly with the waitress. Our dinner did not come until after 8:30pm. It was very busy to be fair.
Very Good

GGuest UserThe Mousetrap Inn proved to be an excellent choice for our recent getaway. The location is absolutely perfect – just a pleasant walk to the main town, giving us easy access to local attractions, shops, and restaurants while enjoying peaceful surroundings.
What truly made our stay memorable was the genuinely friendly staff. From check-in to checkout, every team member was welcoming and helpful, going out of their way to ensure we had everything needed. Their local knowledge and recommendations enhanced our entire visit.
The included breakfast was a real highlight and exceptional value. Fresh, well-prepared options with plenty of variety kept us satisfied each morning before exploring. It's rare to find complimentary breakfast that actually exceeds expectations.
The inn maintains a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly matches its charming name. Clean, comfortable accommodations combined with the convenient location made it easy to enjoy both tranquil relaxation and vibrant town center activities.
Highly recommended for friendly service, great value, and ideal location.
GGuest UserNot worth the price. The place is stunning don’t get me wrong. However, it was a bit disappointing in terms of hospitality and the cleanliness of the hotel room was a bit disgusting with a vape and used slippers under the bed with hairs in the bath upon arrival. Furthermore, no TV remote and any information of what to do in the hotel.
Breakfast was brilliant but when you weigh the price of the hotel and the hospitality, I just don’t think £300 was worth the stay. Furthermore, the spa was rammed with children and parents so the size to person ratio was a bit much. Furthermore, restaurants are always booked up and it’s difficult to get a reservation unless you want to end up in the horsebox restaurant last minute.
Bartender was rude when under pressure from the restaurant as I asked for a drinks menu, to which he pointed me to go and get the menu for it. So just ultimately a bit disappointing especially since a room is nearly half a grand.
JJWLoved staying at the Bell. Right opposite Tewkesbury Abbey, you couldn’t ask for a better location. Free parking is a real bonus here too and the location is close to the Severn Way walk, for walks down to Deerhurst and beyond.
Friendly , engaging , genuine, and sometimes fun, service and attention from all the staff made us feel very welcome.
The breakfast was so worth the price, and huge portions too! We also stayed for dinner one night ( had a great Indian at the Raj the second night) and were so nicely surprised. Being a ‘pub chain’ hotel you sometimes think the food might be quite bland and corporate but the chefs here know what they are doing. So happy with the food.
One or two minor grumbles might be the traffic noise, as our room was on the road ( so wore earplugs and fine) and the very soft bed, but meh, it was fine really.
We would more than likely stay again if passing through this way in the future.
GGuest UserWe are a family of four and booked 2 junior suites and requested both on booking and during email correspondence prior to our arrival for double bed and twin bed configurations. On our arrival we were allocated rooms at opposite ends of the hotel, on different floors and with 2 double beds. Housekeeping had apparently gone home for the night despite arriving before 6pm and so this could not be corrected. The hotel had a beautiful open fireplace in the main bar which for some reason on a cold night in December wasn’t alight. We ate dinner in the hotel brasserie where a significant number of dishes on the menu were unavailable with no explanation from the staff when asked. At breakfast the following morning we were unable to order coffee as apparently this service is not available on weekends. Overall, despite a great location, this was a very disappointing stay.
GGuest UserGreat location in the middle of town, room was nicely decorated and mattress was firm and comfortable to put liking but the pillows were very soft. Bath didn't drain so we had 4 inches of dirty water from our showers during the day (we did mention it to staff as soon as we noticed). Like a lot of Stow hotels they allowed dogs inside so we had the unpleasant finding of a dog hair on the breakfast plate in the morning. This is the problem when you allow animals where people are eating. Food prices are very expensive seeing as they asked us to eat in the bar area as restaurant was closed. We cancelled our dinner reservation as I didn't want to sit next to the heavy panting of a french bulldog next to us. Saying that staff tried to accommodate us as best as they could but also they had to follow house rules

GGuest UserThe staff are very friendly and can not do enough for you.
The bar is clean and so are the rooms.
We stayed there in room 40, above the cafe that is not run by the hotel.
7am on a Sunday morning we are woken by music blaring through the floor from the cafe downstairs, music didn’t stop until we left the room.
Ate a meal in the evening, fish and chips and a steak and ale pie, fish and chips were very nice although the pie was a very different experience. The meat was so dry I need to swig a drink with every mouthful and the pastry lid was dry and flavourless.
I would stay again but would insist that I had a different room away from the 7am unwelcome wake up call
