Birthday treat

We got married there in 2006 so holds special memories. So was disappointed at the amount of dust in the stairwells and around lights. Also the room was ridiculously hot and not air con. The fan did nothing to help which made for a restless night . However the food in Atrium restaurant was good and great service.

This hotel was incredibly convenient for me, I really loved the location and the exterior was incredible and really lovely, I think the price was amazing and the breakfast was so lovely. We dined in the main restaurant for dinner and I couldn’t fault it! The staff were so kind and I appreciated the efforts to make me feel welcome. The pool was fun and the jacuzzi was amazing, I needed a little reset and this was great. Outside seating was great, just a shame there was so many wasps but I guess that can’t be helped in summer.

Although the reception area is breath taking it kinda went sideways after that. We had a deluxe manor suit which was no where the standard I was expecting. The room itself was okay albeit the carpet needed a good hovering. I and my wife are disabled so being situated on the second floor was at first okay as we knew there was a lift however once you eventually arrived on your floor ( lift is somewhat dated and slow) we found more steps down to our corridor. This didn’t bode well for me as I struggle to bend my knees so finding out once we were in the room that the shower was over a bath. The room decor and presentation was good at first it’s only when you start to dig you find things don’t work right. The view from the window was hugely disappointing with it looking down on the delivery area. So in the morning you had the beeping of Lorrie’s reversing and pallet truck and cages rattling around. There is no aircon in the building so when it’s sunny you just melt. The atrium restaurant was nice but again it has a glass roof so it became unbearable to sit there which is a good thing in some respects as the restaurant is soo expensive a lot of guests try and get in there but it has limited seating. The hotel feels more like it caters for the corporate client not the family holidays and this is very apparent with the average disabled facilities. Having the sauna and steam room on the upper floor is a joke in a dated and poor maintained pool area. Just felt dirty and neglected.

Very impressed

We were very impressed by the De Vere, a beautiful place, very comfortable. Loved the Library Bar and restaurant. The breakfast, with loads of,choice and variety was impressive, and the staff were pleasant and polite. The room was comfortable and clean. Although no air con, a good fan was provided, but then the weather was particularly hot! We also enjoyed the Tipi restaurant, lovely food, with excellent waiting service. We would definitely return, to check out the area generally.

We stayed in Room 168 at De Vere Tortworth Court and were left deeply disappointed. As longstanding De Vere guests, we expected far better. The stay was riddled with failures — some frustrating, others downright dangerous. We were given the wrong room at check-in and had to request a move. No porter assistance was available, despite us struggling with a 10-month-old baby and luggage. A cot we had pre-requested and confirmed by phone was missing, then took over 6 hours to arrive. When it did, it was unsafe and collapsed during the night. Our baby ended up sleeping in our bed. The room itself was dirty: the bathroom was unhygienic, the bathtub filthy, and only one towel was provided for two adults and a baby. The sofabed was unsafe (it collapsed when sat on), stained, and unclean. The outdoor bar was unusable due to a serious wasp infestation. Worst of all, a scalding hot plate of pasta was placed directly in front of our baby in the restaurant. He reached out and burned his hand. No warning was given. This was entirely avoidable and inexcusable. We also found a highchair covered in beer. Overall, we were shocked at the lack of cleanliness, safety, and basic care. This experience fell far below any acceptable standard. Be warned if you’re travelling with children — this hotel is not family-safe.

Terrible Stay

I wanted to share feedback following my recent stay at De Vere Tortworth Court, which unfortunately fell far below expectations. Before arrival, I tried contacting the hotel three times by phone and sent an online message regarding my booking and an upgrade offer. No one responded. On arrival, I was told the upgrade was no longer available, which was disappointing given the lack of communication. Our arrival was further delayed by a school prom on site, which caused a 40 minute queue to the entrance. No prior notice was given, a basic courtesy that would have helped us plan. The room was extremely warm, and although a fan was provided, there was no bottled water. Attempts to contact reception from the room failed as the phone just rang out. The Lady Grey chatbot offered no help and redirected me to the same phone line. When I finally spoke to someone, I was told to either buy bottled water or use the floor’s water station, which was out of order. Again, poorly thought through. Room service was fast to order but arrived on a dirty stained trolley that resembled a pot wash cart. No attempt was made to present it properly, and some dishes were lukewarm. All disappointing but sadly consistent with the wider experience. Most alarming was finding an open needle in the room, a serious health and safety risk. I raised this with the General Manager, who never responded. Instead, a duty manager got in touch, which perhaps reflects the lack of ownership across the hotel.

My new Gloucester hotel stop off when travelling

What a great find. Just needed an overnight near the motorway for travel purposes. Lovely place. On check in I mentioned I would be leaving before breakfast and the staff said they would have a breakfast bag ready for me when I left (without me even asking). Sure enough it was ready for me when I left at 5.30am next morning. Room was more like a small suite. Also used room service during the stay which was great

A return stay here as it’s a great historical property with lovely grounds and facilities. Great gym and pool. Rooms are pet friendly but I didn’t appreciate the dog bowl and basket in my room since I did not have a pet. They were removed when I asked. The shower mixer was quite old and I could not get cold water for a shower which would probably not be a problem for most people! I stayed for 4 nights. The first two were very noisy with a large group of youngsters having big nights out and making noise in the early hours… on a Monday and Tuesday! after that had better sleep for the last two nights. Great food in the Atrium although pricey. Friendly and helpful staff as always.

Beautiful popular hotel

A beautiful hotel and grounds, staff were good especially Alex in the Atrium. Food was lovely for dinner and breakfast. Only downside was that room was so hot even with a fan. We stayed on a Friday night and it was extremely busy with a wedding and prom, so think we’d try mid week next time

Lovely but requires improvement

Good and bad: There were three things I could fault: 1. Lamps in the room used special sockets so on a hot day (and it was hot during our stay), you could not unplug the lamp by the window and plug in a fan as the sockets didn’t match the fan plug, meaning we were just circulating hot air and not able to pull in fresh air from the window using the fan; 2. There was no book in the room with guidance, you were forced to use the online AI to ask questions and get answers, if I want to ask a question, I will ask it of a real person thank you (although it did give the answer), but I would not need to ask if the room had a book with the information already provided (anticipate the question and have already answered before it is asked); 3. Breakfast was not really up to the standard I would expect from a place of such calibre and price (seemed like powdered eggs, bacon tasteless, sausages (had better quality in a b&b)) and on the first day, they were running late so waited on half the items being available (cereal, toast, croissants, fruit and yoghurt all available). Great room otherwise, GREAT STAFF, could not fault the staff, helpful, skilled, knowledgable (judging from the number of cocktails being consumed) and seemed genuinely happy to help. Could order food and drink from anywhere, and we did order from their beautiful terrace and grounds. Spa (pool only used) was great but did need to book in advance. I would stay again in a heartbeat, but not include breakfast.

Portable aircon units in the rooms in the summer

The hotel is beautiful but no aircon in rooms where you can barely open the windows, yes it’s an old building but it was so hot I had zero sleep! A desk fan was not cutting it! If I stayed again it would have to be in The winter months
