Matson Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Matson, Gloucester

"Dinner not good, below par. Veggie options very limited."

"From making our room booking, adding food bookings and treatments was hassle. Getting through on the phone was just ringing out, so I tried messaging which took a week to get an unsatisfactory answer. We booked rooms and spa package but still had to pay extra to go for a swim on our arrival and then they wanted extra for slippers. The rooms are small and mediocre, we didn't have lake view thus we looked out on a golf cart. The spa was tired and a bit grubby looking, water jets barely worked, sauna and steam room were large and nice. Treatments and staff were good. First night we ate in boathouse. It was dreadful, they asked if we had dietary needs we said yes gluten but the couldn't accommodate our needs. Our foccachia never turned up. The steaks were cold and the desserts were very poor, Bill was £220 for 4 which included a cocktail each which were delicious. Next morning we had breakfast in brasserie it was superb ... huge choice and best quality. Staff were excellent and so was our afternoon tea. It could be so much better, I dont think I would recommend or make a return visit"

"pool / spa great"

"Room and bathroom excellent Evening meal and breakfast was excellent poached eggs are outstanding Overall stay was very pleasant "

"We never ate at the hotel it was less expensive elsewhere. Can’t complain except towels need to be renewed. Also hand soap would be nice. Room noisy in the morning because of traffic. Staff should greet customers coming in and out of hotel it’s part of your job!"

"This hotel is obviously struggling and standards are slipping and corners being cut which is a shame as the building is a lovely example of victorian gothic."

"Booked for one night and paid just shy of £200 for a standard double. The pictures of the hotel and room looked good so was happy to pay,. However, the room we got, room 44 was right at the back of the hotel in the 1980/90's extension, the room was small and tired, particularly in the bathroom where the door has no lock and paint had been knocked off, the ventilation fan also didn't work and wasn't fitted properly. The hotel itself is very nice and the staff are friendly. We also ate in the restaurant which was pleasant but we had a 20 minute wait for our drinks. I felt it was expensive for what it was £100 for 2 starters and 2 mains with 2 drinks. For £300 I feel there is better out there. Made my feelings felt on departure and received an apology and assurances my comments will be passed on, won't be returning."

"We are happy and please .The room was clean and comfortable.Good access of public transport to Cheltenham city centre. Breakfast was good."
