There's a lot we can learn about the past from looking at old ruins. Take a walk back through history and ponder times gone by at Greyfriars.

This once-important structure in Gloucester is well-liked by travelers, so leave a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are many more options ready for you to enjoy after Greyfriars. Gloucester Quays, Gloucester Cathedral, and Hartpury University and Hartpury College are close by.

There was no wifi in the rooms. One of our rooms did not have a remote control for the TV. The kettle lead was too short and i had to more the table to plug it in.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (121 reviews)

We really enjoyed our stay, albeit the manor was undergoing refurbishment. Room was clean, tidy, with some upgrades required, breakfast was ok, needs a broader provision of cereals, and cold buffet, cooked breakfast was very good, evening dinner meals were very good quality but expensive, staff very friendly and helpful. Thanks to all, if the points raised were addressed then I would give 5 star
