We stayed for one night in early August, to break a long journey from Wales back home. The house is in a great location, easily accessible by car, with plenty of parking and a gentle walk from Cheltenham town centre. Pubs, bars and restaurants are all a few minutes' walk away.
Check-in was via a kiosk in the entrance porch and worked fine. There were no staff visible but we didn't need to speak to anyone. We had been allocated room 16, down one flight of stairs on the lower ground floor. The room is modern, bright and has a nice little en-suite. The bed was comfortable and the room is well-equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, plus water in a small fridge.
However, there is one major drawback of the room we stayed in: the wall between our room and the adjoining room (17) has pretty much no soundproofing. Not only could we hear the guests in room 17 talk (no secret conversations to be had in rooms 16 and 17!), but their TV and bathroom use was also very audible. Of course, we understand that soundproofing is rarely perfect in hotels, particularly in older buildings, but here, it really was non-existent. It also made us very conscious of moving about. We had earplugs so we managed to sleep fine. So it wasn't a major problem but not something we expected.
Beaumont House also provides two spacious guest lounges, with bar facilities (we didn't use them) and tea/coffee facilities with some snacks provided for breakfast time. There is no breakfast service, though - something we were clearly told at the time of booking. It didn't bother us, as we could have gone to one of several nearby cafes (although we had muesli bars so only had those).
Overall, a convenient and nicely-appointed small place for an overnight stay, but the soundproofing between rooms needs improving (creating) before we would consider another stay here
