Rising Sun was perfect for our one night. We are at the tail end of a 30 day trip and chose Cheltenham because it was close to Sudely Castle and Gardens. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bathroom was fine. Bar and restaurant were great and the views were INCREDIBLE. If back in the area I would stay again.
HIGHLY recommend this restaurant - food is fabulous and the staff was wonderful. The Coconut Tree

We were visiting Hidcote gardens and Suedly Castle so this hotel was a great choice. The view from the hotel was lovely there were plenty of parking spaces. Everywhere was nice and clean but could do with a bit of decorating. The staff were lovely and breakfast was good

Relaxed stay in the country.

Very clean hotel and also a very clean room. The single room was a nice size for one and not too small. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast finished a bit too early during the week, it finished at just 9am. Lovely views of Cheltenham. It's a few miles outside Cheltenham and the bar was open until 11pm which was also very good.

A quaint high class but reasonably priced place

The rising sun is a lovely place to stay and would recommend anyone to do so. Although I'm pretty sure people have already at some point stayed here as it seems to be a regular for the Cheltenham races. The breakfast and food was out of this world presentation and quality was amazing and the price was all reasonable for the area this is located. They could quite easily charge 4-5 pound more and there would be still no grievances. I would highly recommend anybody to stay here whether it is a working stay or generally weekend retreat

Okay

Not the most expensive hotel in the area but you get what you pay for. Comfortable bed and friendly enough staff. Paid extra for breakfast but didn’t realise that it started at 0800 and I had to leave at 0730. No refund offered but was offered some croissants if I wanted them. My mistake not theirs. Probably wouldn’t stay here again as I found a nice hotel five miles further up the road and only £30 more than the stay here.

Food in restaurant

Ate in the restaurant on Friday evening. My partner had scampi as main course and I had steak and ale pie. My partner spent the two and a half days constantly needing to go to the toilet and I had an upset stomach on Saturday. Reported directly to the hotel earlier and the general manager has agreed to refund only the cost of scampi meal. Given that the weekend was somewhat spoiled I would think that as a minimum gesture of upholding first class customer service the full cost ot this meal should have been refunded.

Key essentials are very good - hot strong shower, comfortable beds. Room decor is in need of some attention, but it is big site and understandably difficult to keep on top of. Not really an issue. Front facing rooms have great views, but road traffic can start early. Otherwise was very quiet. Would recommend.

Has great potential, but fails to deliver

This place appears to be very popular, a great looking place from the outside with great views. When we arrived there was no one at reception, which was expected as the booking stated there was no reception despite there being one. We went to the bar area where the youngster behind the bar said he would get his manager to check us in up at reception, so we returned there and didn't have to wait long for his arrival, this process was straight forward and it wasn't long before we went to our room. The room was ok, pretty much as you would expect from a standard double. We had a table booked so went back to the bar area to be seated. Again we were greeted by a youngster who showed us to our table where he asked for our drinks order. We noticed at the bar that there was a 0% beer on draft so we asked for a pint of that, only to be told that they don't do 0% on draft. I corrected the youngster and we duly received our drinks and had our food order taken. After waiting some time the young lad who took our order returned and said "sorry there appears to have been some confusion, have you had your starter yet?" as all of our cutlery was still on the table clearly we hadn't! When the starters did arrive one of them was wrong and at one point we had 3 starters on the table. Rest of the meal was ok, although the fondant was a failure. Glasses on the table were disgusting, which makes you wonder about the ones behind the bar. Would type more but not enough room!
