“A practical choice just outside Gloucester, this inn impressed me with its warm, family-run atmosphere and genuine hospitality. Expect comfortable, clean rooms, a hearty breakfast, and the bonus of a dog-friendly environment with wooded walks right outside the door-plus, I was amused to read about the goats in the garden, a touch of countryside charm that you don't often find so close to the city.”
