What did you get up to?
We visited Farmers Boy Inn in Gloucester for a two-night getaway. My partner and I opted to go during the week, the hotel is dog friendly, but we did not bring the pooch! We arrived on the first night to a beautifully presented double room with a large area outside for all the guests to mingle around the rooms, we were in the Grandfather pie room, all the rooms are named different pies! After a great sleep, we had a lovely breakfast, pancakes fresh blueberries and a full English, we then explored the New Dean Forest nearby for you nature lovers out there this is an amazing location. We had dinner from a local takeaway while enjoying the free satellite TV in the room and we then enjoyed a late-night walk, far from the nearby towns and villages the stars in the sky are a sight to behold, then time for the second sleep in a big comfy bed. Overall, we had a great restful break away and would love to return! Many thanks to Steph and Phil for making it a memorable couple of days.
What did you enjoy the most?
Our favourite part of the experience was the aesthetics and night walk, the location is beautifully located away from the loudness of the city, the stars are beautiful and rarely an opportunity to see them as well as you do out there! It’s so quiet it’ll be the best night sleep you’ve ever had! The old building looks amazing and their seating area out the back of the bar is covered so you can sit in the rain and enjoy your pint without getting wet!
Top Tip
1. Explore options for food before you go – it is quite a wander from any nearby restaurants!
2. Sit in the back room, the jungle foliage creates a wonderful ambiance.
3. Come prepared for a walk as the forest nearby is well worth an investigation!
