Top Ross-on-Wye Hotel Reviews

De Vere Tortworth Court

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely bar and restaurant. Breakfast also very good. The grounds are beautiful"

Leonardo Hotel Cheltenham

8/10 Good

"Breakfast and helpful receptionist very good. I booked this hotel as it had an EV charger. Our neighbours in the room nextdoor were a bit noisy, but no fault of the hotel. The duvets were too warm for a summer's day, and only read the bit about asking for a sheet too late."

Gloucester Robinswood Hotel by Sunday

"We had an enjoyable time staying here. A pit stop on the way to another venue. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The sauna and steam room were excellent. The staff very pleasant, helpful and smiley. We didn’t try any food here as we went out. Would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Gloucester-Cheltenham by IHG

"Tout était très bien. Bel hôtel, propre, literie grande et très confortable. Nous avions une chambre à l’arrière donc très calme. Juste dommage que les portes intermédiaires claquent autant et si fort."
