Premier Inn Gloucester Business Park hotel in Tewkesbury

I visited the Lower Lode Inn, for a meet-up with friends. I chose to arrive the day before and stay overnight. What a wonderful evening. The pub is dog friendly, very dog friendly and I met some lovely local doggies. For dinner I ate the ale and steak pie, perfect and the Doombar was also perfect. The room was small with a large double bed, but was perfect for my nights stay. I rarely sleep well when away from home, but the bed enveloped me and I slept all night. After a nice hot shower (toiletries and fluffy towels supplied) I made my way down to a full English breakfast. Perfect (again). I then went for a short walk, settling on a bench by the river Severn. I have the Merlin bird song app on my phone, and switched it on to see what bird life was about. In ten minutes It had picked up 19 different species. Wow! As the morning went on, friends started arriving, some I hadn’t seen for many years. The event was a surprise birthday Sunday lunch for my New Zealand friend. She had no idea and was overwhelmed. We then enjoyed the carvery which was excellent. The Lower Lode Inn was welcoming from the moment I arrived, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and already planning to return. Hopefully to include a bit of fishing next time. Thank you Lower Lode, to Sam and all the team for making myself and my friends so welcome.

Lovely little pub with very warm and welcoming staff. Very cosy and dog friendly also.

Great service here, hadn't been for a while but always feel welcome and have a top feed.

A very cosy cafe with drinks and soups which are perfect for cold days! We especially recommend the hot chocolates, as they have the most delicious marshmallows & cream😄 Thank you

Really nice pub. Looked locked at 1pm but the back was open..
