Very happy with our sojourn at the Aparthotel. Jess was a great ambassador for the company, and made checking in very easy. She coped with professional competence when the WiFi died, and updated us when it was fixed. Highly recommended.

We stayed at no 8. It was spacious and clean. Had a high and comfy bed and snug and comfy sofa. Nice power shower with plenty of hot water. We got drenched on one day and Simon kindly put the heating on for us so our coats could dry. The flat was in a good location with easy walking distance to shops and cafe and canal. It would have been perfect if it had an oven with a grill. We met a few quests coming and going but It was very quiet. It was nice to have a little unit in the hall so you could help yourself to more tea bags or dish washer tablet's. We enjoyed a pleasant stay and we would recommend to our friends and book again if we came back to the area.

Yup, sorry about that, an oversight on our part.

Comfortable and convenient
A nice and really conveniently located place to stay in Stroud. Apartment 5 was a good size, very clean and quiet. Bed was comfortable and the studio kitchen (in a separate room) very neat & well appointed. Plenty of off-street parking and access via a keypad was really easy. We appreciated receiving extremely comprehensive information about the place beforehand from the owners which told us everything we needed to know about staying there, along with useful tips for things to see and do.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay. Drinks and milk provided in the fridge along with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and items for breakfast which was a lovely unexpected touch. Free parking on site was also available. It was very hot on our weekend here but they had provided a large fan and the blinds lowered at the window brought down the temperature a touch. It is sited just out of the town centre of Stroud and we walked in along the side of the canal which was lovely and shady - just a short distance (less than a kilometre). Very considerate owners who seem to care for their guests. We would definitely stay here again. I didn’t take photos of the apartment but include a couple of the camel.

Easy access and parking. Very clean linen and utensils.Shower and heating excellent. A little TLC needed I.e black mould in the shower, the floor covering made the apartment look dull and dirty. The carpet in the corridors were snagged in places making it look shabby. Overall our stay was very good. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Hi Hazel. Thank you for the review. It's been a very busy season and the property has taken a bit of a beating, but we're at it during the quieter months of Jan and Feb.

Good location with on site parking. Nice size for the two of us. Generally in good order with most of the required eating, cooking etc needs provided. Little things were a negative eg no tea towel, eating bar in the kitchen on a slight slope, one bedside light not working. Small things which didn’t impact on our stay. Sure the owner’s would have sorted if we had let them know.

Good afternoon Charles. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. No tea towel? I do apologise. I'd encourage all guests to give me a call for this sort of thing. We can drop one round very easily for you (clearly there should have been one to start with) and there are spares in the Pantry in the main hall. The bedside light is a bit of a pain. I get the occasional call but it is a problem easily solved over the phone. I'll check the light though. The light units are provided with a built in and very small rocker switch (black) but we have wired the lights in to a "proper switch" for ease next to the bedside table. The trouble is if a previous guest has used the rocker switch to turn the light off it means using the main switch gives the impression the light is broken as it won't turn the light on. So it just needs the rocker switch to be "switched". As for the high table / eating bar (tricky to give it an obvious name) I'll take a look. Thank you for the observation. Thank you again for the review and I hope we'll see you again soon. Kind regards

Second stay. Had the front downstairs apartment (no. 9). The two front bay windows on the photo. Very light and spacious. Kitchen has hob, microwave, toaster and dishwasher (iron and ironing board) but no washing machine or conventional oven. Good central heating which can be adjusted. Nice light furnishings. Good contact by host. This apartment had a walk in shower rather than a shower bath (as in no. 3). No issues parking.

I apologise for taking so long to respond to your kind review. Thank you. It is much appreciated. I love the light in 9 too. the full length windows are quite something. I've had one or two things on my mind, as have we all, but I'm pleased to say we've stayed open for Key Workers as we can manage social distancing as we are self-catering. I'm looking forward to our usual guests when travel restrictions are relaxed, and we all hope that won't be too far away. Best wishes
