Set in the outskirts of Tewkesbury, this hotel would be ideal for those looking to enjoy the town and nearby countryside without having to stay in the centre or next to the motorway. We were welcomed by a very helpful trainee receptionist and provided with all of the information required for amenities, meals and the location of our room. Parking was close to the hotel and ample. The hotel was extremely hot, which was somewhat stifling considering the decent outdoor temperature.
We were very grateful of the complimentary upgrade to an executive double room on the top floor. The view over the golf course and towards the Malvern Hills was phenomenal, especially during the sunset. Besides the occasional hair dryer late at night and a couple arguing, the room was pleasantly quiet. The room featured ample storage facilities, a flat-screen television with the usual Freeview selection, desk and coffee table with armchairs. The bed, although not completely solid, was rather firm; achieving a decent level of comfort was quite a task. The room could have benefitted from a lamp on both bedside tables, rather than just the one. The room was largely clean and well-presented. Complimentary Wi-Fi, although temperamental, was decent enough to enjoy streaming music and video.
All too often these days a hotel will save on space and water costs by installing a shower cubicle, however we were very grateful of the presence of a bath tub. In addition, the bathroom was spacious and clean. The complimentary soaps were of a decent enough quality.
I would thoroughly recommend staying clear of the breakfast buffet if you are a fan of the full-English. The quality of items did not in any way match the price, particularly the questionable sausages. We did not take the opportunity to visit the Hotel's restaurant or make use of the room service, but the menu for both seemed to provide some interesting items above the usual bland hotel fare.
