Guests say
The Lodge in Gloucester is highly praised for its peaceful setting, dog-friendly features, and welcoming host. Guests consistently mention the secure paddock and patio, ideal for dogs, as well as the comfort and cleanliness of the accommodation. The host, John, is frequently described as attentive and helpful, often providing local recommendations. While most guests enjoyed a relaxing and well-equipped stay, a few noted sporadic WiFi and occasional maintenance issues. Overall, the property is especially recommended for those seeking tranquillity and a dog-friendly retreat.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as very clean and well-kept, with no significant complaints about cleanliness.
Guests appreciate the tranquil, secluded location with beautiful views and easy access to local towns and attractions. Some mention the narrow access road, but this does not detract from the overall positive impression.
The Lodge is described as cosy, comfortable, and well-appointed, with comfortable furniture and a relaxing atmosphere. Only one review mentions compactness, but this is not seen as a major drawback.
Facilities are generally praised, especially for dog owners, with secure outdoor areas and well-equipped interiors. However, a few guests mention sporadic WiFi and, in one case, a non-working shower, which slightly lowers the score.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as milk, eggs, juice, and even chocolate bars on arrival. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Very nice, well equipped with everything you could need and I'm sure if you needed something John the owner would do his best for you. Eggs, milk and juice, he even put ice in the freezer and chocolate bars I the fridge. The place was perfect and very comfy and the paddock made it with two dogs. Within driving distance of so many places. The only place I have been to the I will return to.
