The views from the beer garden were amazing and excellent food at reasonable prices.

Robert United Kingdom

The staff are very helpful and friendly, and the views over to the Malvern Hills was spectacular. Very dog friendly for our two dogs.

Robert United Kingdom

Location was excellent, our room overlooked Cheltenham from up on the hill, terrific views. Room size was very good, plenty of space for our luggage and room still to walk about. Service was great, the fan in our room was broken and it was replaced when I brought this up.

Henry United Kingdom

Frances United Kingdom

View and surrounding area absolutely stunning. Food was very good, staff very friendly!

Charlie United Kingdom

Helpful staff at reception, fabulous view and pleasant room. Evening food was good value and tasty. despite large numbers of guests needing to be catered for.

Fran United Kingdom

The whole stay was excellent All the staff were pleasant and friendly All were very helpful and polite

Derek United Kingdom

The beer garden had a superb location with a fantastic view over Cheltenham, the Malvern Hills and as far as Wales. The pub was extremely busy, but we still had our evening meal without to much of a wait, even though we were told there would be one. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed 1 night on the way home to Norfolk from Somerset and will definitely do so again - the perfect place to stop.

Victor United Kingdom

The room was perfect. The view was fantastic. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There was a guy singlehandedly managing the place as one of his team leaders was on holiday and the other was off sick. He was really helpful and was always checking with us that everything was all right - food, room etc. He's a very special member of your staff.

Heather United Kingdom

Great location with stunning views. Meals were lovely and so were the staff.
