- Lauren (10/5): Book this place, you will thank yourself later. - Everything about this stay exceeded my expectations. We only stayed one night as we were just passing through but we plan to come back to see the sights and when we do, this will definitely be where we stay. The apartment was of a high standard, it was clean and spacious and amenities were of a high quality. The bonus was the laundry as we needed to do a load, the washing powder sachets was supplied (under the sink), then I took some gold coins to the laundry only to discover the machines were free. Everything you need is in the apartment and there is a pool and BBQ facilities as well. It's also very close to the main street and an easy walk to the shops and dining.

- Jonathan (10/5): - Spa bath and the extra mile with bath robes The lighting could improve. The place is great but the lighting isn't warm and inviting it's bright and clinical. Some lamps downstairs or even changing the colour of the lights to a more mood light warm white colour would help.

- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anne (8/5): Clean and comfortable - The unit was quaint and clean. Bedding and sofa were comfortable. The location for the shops and eateries was great as well as accessing green spaces. A bread knife would have been nice to cut the amazing sourdough bread from the bakery. Also would have liked a drying rack for washing.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jo (8/5): A comfortable and cosy place to stay - The accommodation is centrally located in Gloucester. You can walk to the main street. The room itself is loft style as the name indicates! It was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and there was a large spa if you choose to use it. I liked the little touches like the Tim Tams and choccies left for guests. There was also lovely bathrobes and towels. One thing to be aware of is that the bedroom is upstairs, and there is no bathroom up there. It is a long way down in the middle of the night. If you are elderly or have injuries, this might not be the best place for you. In saying that, the loft space is very comfortable.
