“The Mooring Post benefits from its riverside location and adjacency to The Lock Keepers restaurant, a clear advantage. While some rooms offer unique designs and private gardens, reports of inconsistent maintenance temper expectations. The Mooring Post has potential as a family-friendly base for exploring Gloucester and the Forest of Dean, but needs improvements.”
