Cardiff, United KingdomPerfect location, quaint and nice touches
Left on 02/12/2013 for a stay in February 2013
For us, this Lock House could not have been more perfect.
The owner sent us directions and was friendly. The directions were spot on and we settled in without any problem at all.
The lounge at the front of the house with its open fire was not huge but cosy and had all you need, TV with DVD, a stocked bookshelves, nest of tables, lamp etc.
The large dining room at the front of the house had a very large table perfect for family eating, again a stocked information and book shelf with games for a rainy day. Pictures of the local area and in keeping with the character of the cottage are dotted throughout.
Into the breakfast room which was at the back of the house. A dresser, a table and chairs for 6, music system, house keeping book, table mats, ornaments etc all provided. We set a lot of time in here, it was lovely.
Off the breakfast room was a downstairs shower and utility room. The shower was one of these multi jet things - water every where, fantastic. A toilet and washing machine in there too.
The other side of the breakfast room was the kitchen with double oven.with extractor fan Loads of crockery and cutlery, all utensils you would need, a fridge freezer, plenty of cupboard and work surface space.
Back door leading to the small back garden overlooking the river. A picnic and normal bench to enjoy the view. The driveway is also accessible this way. A large drive accessed by large lockable gates off the main road.
Upstairs.
3 bedroom - a double and twin at the front and a double at the back. Bedding all in keeping with the period, clean, cosy. Lovely period furniture in the main, beds all comfortable and spotlessly clean
The location is amazing. The nearest bar/cafe/restaurant in under 5 minutes walk away. Shops and other attractions a few minutes further. Perfect location to see lots without driving. If you want to drive tho the private parking makes things easy. -

Just returned after a week at The Lock House and would highly recommend this cosy retreat. Ideally located to visit all Gloucester has to offer on foot as well as the wider area by car, a great day out had at the Sculpture Park in the Forest of Dean. the Lock House is very well appointed and the cooker was 5 star!

Left on 09/12/2012 for a stay in September 2012
Stayed a week in this lovely homely grade 2 listed cottage. It was in a great spot right on Gloucester docks and only a few minutes walk from the city centre. We had beautiful weather so the garden was very welcome.
It is very unusual having the canal on one side of it and the river severn on the other. You can take a pleasant walk in both directions along the canal or river bank.
The historic Gloucester docks and the retail outlets are a work in process and there are several units not yet taken, but it is still worth a visit and should be really nice when it is completed.
The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could need for your stay and a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits was great.
There was only 2 of us staying but it is plenty big enough for a family, with 3 bedrooms a lovely large bathroom and an additional downstairs shower room with WC. It has a good sized kitchen with a large cooker, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
Great place, really enjoyed it... Thanks -

Ashtead, SurreyA great waterside experience
Left on 12/01/2011 for a stay in October 2011
Everything we needed was there and all was beautifully clean The location by the lock is great and the prison across the road is unobtrusive. It was very easy to walk to the cathedral and town centre as well as the waterways museum The retail outlet in the quays is good value but they would not let me walk with my bike in there.

Left on 08/29/2011 for a stay in July 2011
Great for watching the activity through the locks. Everyone has a wave!
Clean and spacious cottage in an ideal location for historic Gloucester docks. Easy walking distance to cathedral, town, restaurants, bars, retail outlet and antiques centres. The Lock House includes everything you need for your stay, although no Internet access in the house - it is available in cafe/bar at the docks though. -

Left on 01/16/2011 for a stay in November 2010
The Lock House was thoughtfully planned and well equipped for a group of 6 adults. We much appreciated the heating being on when we arrived as it was very cold in November. The house was well positioned for visiting Gloucester and the Cotswalds. We really enjoyed our stay

Left on 09/25/2010 for a stay in July 2010
This is a fabulous little cottage in a superb location. There were six in our party, myself and my husband our two grown up daughters and there partners,and there was plenty of room for us all. With two bathrooms,a breakfast room and dining room as well as a cosy lounge,the inside was more than ample. The front of the house is a working lock, which kept us entertained on many an occasion, (the lock keepers are very friendly and always had a wave for us) whilst the back garden is an idyllic little oasis of peace and quiet, with butterfies and dragonflies. There is so much to do in this area we couldn't fit it all in, but I would strongly reccomend, The Cotswold Farm (as seen on t.v.) The international bird of prey centre, and the forrest of Dean.
Take a half hour trip on a boat along the canal, the skippers commentry is very informative and humorous. The pubs and restaurants nearby are excellent, and the refurbished dock area is stunning, especially if you like antiques, although there are fantastic designer shops too.
I can not praise this are enough, myself and my family absolutely loved the place and the warm friendly people. I did not want to go home.

An unexpected treasure in a perfect location. The house brought back many memories for my family of older times. It was quiet and very pleasant to stay. The upstairs bathroom is wonderful especially the bath with the view!.

Left on 02/12/2010 for a stay in December 2009
Such a warm and welcoming cottage, a minutes walk from the Gloucester docklands and designer outlets.
Everything you need for a great break. The cottage is well set up with everything we needed for a great Christmas. There is always somewhere to go and my husband was so happy to have a weeks holiday with no driving. A few minutes walk and you are in the centre of Gloucester. I have to say it is a womans dream escape with every amenity to hand.
