Leisure & Business

The smoke-free The Mooring Post Bed & Breakfast provides a sun terrace, a picnic area, and a golf course for guests to enjoy their stay.

“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.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Mooring Post from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Mooring Post offers spacious and clean rooms, some featuring jacuzzi baths and Nespresso machines, providing good value for many guests. Its location is convenient for exploring Gloucester Quays, though it's a 40-minute walk, plus it is set near the River Severn and Over Canal Basin, offering pleasant surroundings. There is a pub/bar that serves food, but it closes early. While most find the rooms appealing, a few guests have occasionally noted outdated elements, like cracked bathroom tiles, in some rooms.

wonderful experience, a comfortable stay

double bed leather couch nice breeze
llanthony room offered a double bed similar to mine at home. i liked the leather couch in the room. i could open the window wide receiving a nice breeze from the severn. we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the pub on the first floor.
we arrived on a sunday night planning to stay two nights. the restaurant and bar were closed on both sunday and monday, i was aware. tea and coffee supplies were not replenished, though i had to buy some.

the room had a problem with the water (i think). we were told we could not use the bath . my son also got an electric shock from the water, because they had maintenance issues (unbelievable!). i think we should have received a discount, because the facilities were not as described. i am unsure it was completely safe. breakfast should be included considering the prices charged.
