Lovely setting
The Bowden Hall Hotel, was set in picturesque surrounds. We took our dog with and everyone were very welcoming. We stayed 1 night for B & B. We were lucky with the weather. We went into Gloucester, which was also lovely. Overall an excellent break we would visit again.

Mercure Gloucester Experience
It was the only room left at time of booking so we didn’t know where in the Hotel we would be staying however, the standard double room we were given was roomy, nice and clean with a window but only rear view of the building. It wasn’t noisy at all even though there was a wedding do, it was in the other part of the building. We had a main course meal which took an hour to wait for but the staff were very apologetic and gave us a free pudding and free drinks which was very appreciative of them.

We hope to return soon .

Beautiful hitel in glorious surroundings
My husband and I had one night here on a red letter day experience. Check in was speedy and the young lady who dealt with us was very friendly. We had a room on the 4th floor which was beautiful. Lovely furnishings and very clean. We had an evening meal which was great. Very tasty and we were full after! The barman was a very friendly guy too. There were two weddings on whilst we were there but this didn't interfere with our stay at all. The breakfast was great with lots of choice. No lift.

A short break in a beautiful country hotel
From the lovely friendly receptionist to the comfort of the lovely room everything was exceptional. We were given a cool room on one of the hottest days of the summer and we were very comfortable. The friendliness of the wait and bar staff made for a very enjoyable short break.

One night break
Lovely break paid for by our daughter. Upon arrival we were early but were able to check in. (Alisa?) was very friendly and when we asked for a nice room she moved our original booking to a garden view room. Beautiful!! The break was perfect and we couldn't fault the staff food or setting. I will recommend to friends đź‘Ť

One night stay at Bowden Hall
We had a really nice stay at Bowden Hall. The staff were all fantastic and couldn’t have been more helpful. The room was lovely and a really good size. However the bed was incredibly hard which meant that we actually did not sleep very well. The food was great. I was pleased that we decided to stay on the Friday night because, as I predicted, there was a wedding on the Saturday and I’m sure it would not have been so quiet.

Insufficient staff!
A lovely hotel spoilt by the appearance of 2 coaches and no extra staff. We had to take dinner late in a full noisy dining room and the 2 waiters were overwhelmed with so many people to serve, they were apologetic but really it came down to bad management. Our 3 course meal took 2 hours to complete. Breakfast was a scrum too. Avoid the coach trips and you will have a pleasant stay in a stunning setting.

Late present
The hotel is set in glorious grounds, it would be difficult to find with out Sat' nav. The staff were very welcoming. The room was very pleasant although a little dark due to small window at the far end of the room. The décor was clean and fresh as was all aspects of the room. Breakfast was a little disappointing due to lack choice on the cold buffet at the time we arrived (8.45am). We would definitely stay again but not through Virgin Experience

A great place for a break.
A nice, clean, comfortable hotel in a good location. It was a little awkward to get to as the lanes are quite narrow. Great for a bit of peace and quiet but also handy for visiting Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Very nice hotel
Enjoyed our stay at Bowden Hall, the room was really nice and the 3 course dinner in their restaurant was delicious. The breakfast was nice. A nice touch was not having to check out until midday better than the usual 11am that most hotels abide by.

Bowden Hall Hotel, Gloucester - Average at best
Room was clean but very dated and small, super creaky floorboards! Drinks in the bar were over priced. I asked about the happy hour cocktail deal I'd seen on their website and the barman looked at me like I'd gone mad before telling me, in quite a rude tone, they didn't do cocktails. Breakfast was ok, standard hotel buffet selection, dining room is pretty, nicely decorated. All in all, not dreadful but not that great either.

Paper thin walls..
Bowden hall is beautiful and nicely secluded but I feel that too many rooms have been squeezed in, maybe to maximise profit. That for me ruined the feel of it. I can’t fault the service, the staff struck the perfect balance of being helpful yet not over the top. Breakfast was lovely. The biggest down side was being able to clearly hear a conversation between guests in the next room which spoiled that feeling of seclusion and privacy. I’d recommend providing you’re a heavy sleeper!

Room not ready at 2pm. We were told checkin was FROM 2 pm & not AT 2pm!! Food extremely overpriced. Ham & cheese panini, fish finger sandwich, 1 & half pints of cider........£25.60!! Room was very nice and grounds very pretty. Fantastic wedding venue. Breakfast was included for us and also very good with lots of choice. We would have stayed for the evening meal but it was too pricey so we had about a mile to trek to the nearest pub to eat. Nice but we won’t be returning.

Did not meet expectations
The booking experience through Virgin Experience was fine but the hotel we chose fell below our expectations. The facilities were good but the staff, with one of two notable exceptions, were not very friendly and did not make us feel welcome. Also, I don't think jeans as a uniform in the dining room, presumably as a money saving initiative, is a great idea. That said it all about the standard of service.

What can I say we were put in a disabled room for almost ÂŁ100 a night it's ridiculous. And we booked weeks ago I know it was B/ H but that's not my problem, On a positive night note the food was susumu I had duck cooked to perfection and the sweet was great with 2 drinks ÂŁ60 not bad eh. Breakfast was also great good ingredients and cooked well, WELL DONE CHEFS. Staff were really pleasant.

Gloucester break
Really Impressed with the newley refurbished reception foyer and restraunt, chic and contemporary. However we were most dissapointed in arriving to our room which was very dated with old stained furniture and a knocking window which kept me awake most of the night, this had to stay open as the room was like a sauna. Although clean, I was very dissapointed. Staff were polite and evening meal was good, some background music would be good in the restraunt to drown out the loud noise of voices
