Two Night Hotel Escape with Dinner for Two
Fiona · 26-03-2026

Great treat!

Lovely venue at Stan hill court although an extra supplement was needed above the price of the voucher. Good venue, good food and a free upgrade for a wedding anniversary although no reference to the anniversary and no other freebies which we usually get from Other hotels! Menu wasn’t huge but the food was excellent and really well presented. Lovely location although you have to pay £10 for parking above the cost of the voucher and the extra charge!

Brilliant stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hatton Court Hotel in November 2025. The staff were friendly , polite and very helpful, the bedrooms were spacious, the food was very well presented and it was delicious. The deal we had was for 2 nights' stay with breakfast included on both mornings and £25 towards 1 evenings' meal. Afternoon tea was also included. As the restaurant was so good, we actually ate at the hotel on the second night too. Although the hotel is a little remote, there are some great views of the town and surrounding countryside. We visited Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Cathedral too. Well worth a visit. Looking forward to our next visit. We highly recommend The Hatton Court Hotel.

Lovely little gem

Booked this as a gift for my husband and we both went together. Beautiful pod with its own fishing peg, clean and warm and so comfy, small fridge freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster and a little bit of storage space was absolutely perfect just for the night or possibly 2. Met the owners and they were absolutely lovely and really helpful couldn’t ask for more! Toilet block was a very short walk away with a little washing up station they were absolutely immaculate. Would definitely recommend.

Paul · 12-09-2025

Birthday treat

From the moment we arrived to our departure Fiona and Paul were more than helpful and full of advice when required The pod we stayed in was sited next to the lake and had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. The site was very quiet,well kept, clean and tidy, it was nice to find that motion activated lighting helped getting around after dark. The fishery has a great choice of pegs to fish from, lily pads, overhanging trees and is very well stocked which provides great sport. Many thanks to Fiona and Paul, we will be back p s. The pub nextdoor serves an excellent choice of meals.
