Stroud Vacation Packages

The room was clean apart from some mould in the corner of the bath which was a bit unsightly, also the furniture was quite tatty and in need of replacing or even just given a coat or two of paint. Considering the price I paid and the fact that I was only there for 1 night it wasn't an issue but thought it was very strange that the wardrobe had 2 security boxes but no hanging rail or hangers!!

Great hotel with lots of amenities, well stocked bar, and great breakfast buffet. The only downside was the room was quite compact, and we stayed 2 nights and didn’t get fresh towels etc during our stay.

It's such a shame! The building of the old Mercure hotel holds ok. The double room was spacious, clean, comfortable and with an amazing close view of the Winchester cathedral (practically over its grounds). But there was no milk for the tea in the room and the television did not show a single BBC channel (not even radio stations), had no access to satelite, internet or cable. When I called reception to ask if perhaps there was something I was not doing properly with the remote control, I was asked if the TV was showing other channels. When I said that only commercial channels seemed to be available, I was told that this was what was on offer and that's it. In some way, I'm grateful for the experience because it opened my eyes to how miserable life would be without the BBC service. I'll certainly pay the BBC licence with gusto now!

My stay was peaceful and perfect.

Receptionist was very welcoming & friendly on arrival. Looked like she needed some help but handled everything very well. Will be back again in the future
