It's beautiful. The staff especially the love Latvian receptionist who's name I'm so sorry I can't pronounce was so welcoming and friendly. The staff could not do enough to help us. As a disabled traveller I always worry but the hotel totally accessible. Rooms were clean and spacey with everything you need or ring the front desk and they will help. Our breakfast table, not a problem, help to get drinks, no problem. I needed extra clean towels and an ironing board and they brought them right up. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfortable and the bed, wow super comfy. Love the pig in the foyer but laughed our socks off at the horse, that is a must see. The Food was amazing and not too pricey for a 4 star hotel. We were there for a wedding and the venue is exceptional.. 12 Acres to walk around and great if you take your furbabies with you. Love the little touches like a doggy menu and welcome treats. The doggy dining area is just fabulous. Breakfast was so inclusive fully cooked English, yogurts, fruit, pastries, hams and continental. Cereals of all types. Loads of choices for Milk. Juices Teas Coffee. Rooms service was great as was the choice of food. Evening meals great. Bar A touch pricey BUT not overly pricey. Loads of wines, spirits, beers and even better plenty of Zero drinks.

If I have to find anything on the down side is that the disabled shower cubicle could do with a bit of a new grout round the bottom seals. If not replacing. A new seat would be good too.

From arrival to departure, staff were friendly and helpful. Every request was met with positively even though at times we were quite a large and indecisive party! There was adequate space for us to meet as a larger group without feeling as though we were imposing on other guests. Our room was spotless and a good size for the price. The "behind the scenes" staff were as friendly and accommodating as the "front of house" staff. Food was delicious and reasonably priced and the choice for breakfast was excellent. Hotel and grounds were very attractive.

Nothing, I would have been happy to stay longer and would definitely stay here as first choice if I am in Gloucester area again in future.

I stay in a lot of hotels in the UK and there are very few that deliver or make me leave a positive review. The staff were amazing, every one I spoke to were warm, friendly and went above and beyond. Other hotels could learn a lot from a visit here. Special mention to the lovely lady on reception and the lady who greeted me at breakfast. Breakfast was one of the best breakfasts I've had. All really fresh, well cooked and great selection.

The room was very clean and comfortable bed. I just wished I'd asked for a room further away from the hotels activity as it was a bit noisy. I will definitely stay again when I next go to Gloucester.

Tina gave a lovely warm welcome each morning at breakfast time and made sure we were look after. She's great. Breakfast fresh and tasty. Room was very comfortable and spacious with a large bathroom.

Bowden has friendly staff and is a nice place to stay. However i think the dinner menu a little limited. Gloucester pork is a local delicacy and the hotel is missing a trick not offering this on the menu. Also during the four nights we stayed a huge tour bus was parked the whole time in front of the dining room impeded our view. There's a huge car park, why couldn't it be parked away from the house ? Such a shame as we wanted to enjoy the view of the country side at breakfast and dinner times.. As the hotel clearly advertises, they don't have a lift to access rooms bear this in mind when booking. Staff are very helpful assisting with luggage.

Very nearly perfect. The Bowden Hall Hotel had nearly everything I would want/expect in a one night stay at a hotel. The facilities, room, comfort, parking ticked all the right boxes. A shout out to the especially polite and approachable staff who made my stay feel much more welcome than most.

To be really picky I'd have liked a lift to access my room. The wi-fi to be more consistent (though I did still comfortably complete all my work for the day) and there to have been clearer direction to the gym (at 7pm I was too tired to search or ask someone for direction).

I stayed at this Hotel 40 years ago for nearly 3months, and vowed I would one day return, so for our 38th wedding anniversary I booked a room as a surprise for my wife, I was not disappointed, and nor was my Wife, we often go away for special occasions and at this Hotel Bowden Hall was every thing we had hoped for, beautiful location, quiet, and impressive building, and the staff, from the cleaner trying to hoover the entrance, the receptionists, restaurant staff, were all so friendly, efficient helpful and extremely polite. The food was excellent, both evening meal and a superb Breakfast. We WILL BE RETURNING.

Nothing, everything was as we hoped.

Once we entered the hotel main lobby, we were greeted by reception staff with warm welcome and smiling faces. I and my family booked 2 separate rooms which are located adjacently. The room size is quite reasonable. We were luckily to be allocated rooms with air conditioning. This is a bonus 'cos we visited in summer and the outside temperature was around 23-24 deg C. The bar and restaurant are nice and the food/drinks slightly exceeded our expectations, though the choice might be a bit limited.

The carpet of both rooms were not quite clean. The glass panel of the bath tub was not so effective that water could leak out onto the floor after I had shower.

We stayed for just one night but it was just perfect! Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. Our room was clean, tidy and comfy with some lovely extra touches for our honeymoon! We had dinner in one of the pods, every course was brought out to us to enjoy in the comfort of our private pod. We were so full we asked to have desert later in our room. It was brought right up no problem. We cannot fault the service we received and would recommend to anyone. A special shout out to one particular staff member, Keira who served us all evening. Thank you so much for making the first night of our honeymoon road trip a memorable one!

It’s difficult to say as we enjoyed ourselves so much! But because it was an old building it was a little creaky and the WiFi was a bit slow. We didn’t mind this one bit but just so you’re aware.

Hotel is in a lovely quiet setting we had a wonderful evening meal followed by a lovely breakfast the following morning

My Husband and I were given a room on the top floor as there was a wedding reception at hotel the room was pleasant however the bed was under the apex of the room which meant we couldn't sit in bed and watch telly comfortably as our heads were tilted down I would recommend the room has a turn around putting bed on flat wall which would allow sitting up in bed more comfortable also unfortunately I found the mattress uncomfortable so didn't get much sleep

The lady on reception was the most welcome I have ever felt turning up to a hotel. So bubbly and happy wish I could remember her name, maybe Scandinavian? Beautiful setting and a very lovely hotel with delicious breakfast

Bit tired In places. Taps in the sink were so small and tight against basin we struggled to wash our hands.
