The Malt House in Stroud

Staff are lovely, the room was very spacious and clean, but . . . . The food was very mediocre. The Veg was very overcooked, very basic cookery, nothing outstanding, if I cane again it would be for the lovely staff, definitely not the food, we turned breakfast down even though it was paid for.

We did a 2 night stay, Thursday and Friday. Did bed and breakfast and we ate in the restaurant each evening. Very friendly staff, food really good. It's a 1 minute walk and you are in the town. Some lovely scenery to walk through. Visited the church which was beautiful. The hotel is old style but that's part of the charm, used a lot by locals in the evening. Our bed in the room was really comfortable so good night sleep both nights. The shower had a water saving shower head so it was more of a mist than a shower but lovely and warm. Would certainly return but probably earlier in the week as both the castle and the Jenner house were not open on Thursday and Fridays only Sunday to Wednesdays.

Stayed for one night with a group of colleagues. The bedroom was very dated and unattractive. The dining room and bar area were dingy and uninviting.

One expects a pub to be generally open, but they have limited opening hours (open late shut early on weekdays) Otherwise it is more of a decent B&B than an inn. Rooms are functional (not sure how they would be on a hot summer’s day) & bathroom is basic. Wifi very good. Shower max height was abnormally low so had to squat to wash my hair

Had a fab stay here. We stayed for a couple of nights as we were attending a family wedding in the town. From start to finish we were made to feel so welcome by Wendy and her team. The food was great and the staff friendly. The decor of the hotel is a little dated but that adds the charm. The hotel is in a great location.

Very quaint hotel, great welcome and owners. Fantastic fresh produce for breakfast. Just enough. We stayed here for 2 nights and visited cirencester, stroud, dursley all gad lovely shops.

Visited with members of my walking group for Sunday Carvery. Excellent food and great value. Staff very friendly and serious about COVID precautions. More people should discover this place. Have lived in this area for 35 years and had never visited before.

Thanks but no thanks trip adviser. This came up as a weekday lunch selection but they aren't open until the evening

We ended up at the Malthouse for Sunday lunch because the pub we intended to go to didn't work out,but we're very glad we did. The carvery was really good value for money. We had a choice of pork, turkey, beef or lamb and the portions of meat were generous. A really good selection of well cooked vegetables and plenty of gravy left us very full but we did manage to squeeze in puddings, which were again very tasty. The staff were welcoming and attentive and we will definitely be returning.

Called in here after visiting Castle was a bit quiet but we need some lunch i had sausage and mash which to be fair was good but at i think £11.30 way over priced my partner i think had scampi cant remember price that wont be returning

We stayed here for 2 nights, the first night we enjoyed a lovely meal in the bar, which was served hot and a very good serving and tasted delicious ( I had the malt house steak and ale pie and my husband said his gammon steak was the best he had ever had!) The bedroom was very clean and we were able to walk the very short distance to the castle for the wedding Breakfast was very good especially the perfect poached eggs!! Very friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble, I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic place to stay, great food.good atmosphere,good choice of real ale beers.Good location for local area.

We stayed here for 2 nights with friends and family to attend our son's wedding at Berkeley Castle. The hostess Wendy was fantastic -we asked at short notice if we could leave our cases at an earlier time than check in and our rooms were ready and available. We ate in the Malthouse on Friday evening and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We also had a number of friends and family joining us for a drink and Wendy kindly reserved an area for us. The bar staff were really friendly and we had a great evening. We also got the chance to play skittles which was great fun! Breakfast was really nice - I had the best poached eggs ever! The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. A great stay to complement a perfect weekend.

Called in here for a Sunday carvary after visiting the castle. The food was superb, plentiful, well presented and very good value. Equally, the drinks were really good, and the price made it even better.

Comfortable, clean. Narrow double bed. Adequate facilities. The full cooked breakfast was excellent. The alternative continental breakfast was limited but adequate. We were attending a wedding at Berkely Castle, so our priority was somewhere to stay within walking distance of the Castle.

2 rooms booked for a 2 night stay for a family wedding down the road at Berkeley Castle. Friendly & accommodating staff. The owner Wendy is so friendly, chatty and a very accommodating hostess. Very comfortable bed, freshly cooked & good choice of breakfast, good value evening meals with lots of choice & reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this pub/ hotel for its homely feel & close proximity to Berkeley Castle if you’re attending a wedding there, especially if you take all the rooms like our extended family did. Have a go in the skittle alley whilst there-great fun! Thank you Wendy & staff for putting us all up & putting up with us - lost keys, extra fans etc! We had a fab weekend.

We were staying for a short break in Falfield and came for an evening meal here. We were made very welcome. The service was good and the food excellent. I would recommend this restaurant.

A very friendly, helpful, welcoming pub. Sunday lunch, plenty of food to choose from at the carvery. Could have been a little hotter. Wheelchair access to the toilets is difficult. We will go again.

We wanted a carvery for Sunday lunch whilst on holiday and the Malt House provided this. It's good without being perfect, but the staff were friendly and the value good.

Called in for Sunday lunch on a recommendation, haven't been there for years, quiet bar, busy restaurant area. Several very young inexperienced girls waiting, pleasant and helpful (but not trained) lady at the carvery very pleasant and welcoming, choice of 4 or 5 home cooked meats, she cut thick slices, just as much as you wanted of what, The vegetables, were excellent and poor :- the best selection of obviously fresh home grown I've ever come across, BUT they were only warm at best which was the only drawback to the place. Should the manageress resolve the vegetable temperature this place will get packed to the rafters.i

This venue is also separately listed under Hotels with more reviews, https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g503817-d267304-Reviews-The_Malt_House_Hotel_and_Restaurant-Berkeley_Cotswolds_England.html?m=19904 but we only stopped for a meal so I am adding to this listing. We were made very welcome although we arrived just before serving finished at 8.30pm. The menu was interesting and varied and the food was well cooked and attractively presented. There were good vegetarian options available. The chicken in almond sauce and the Thai crab cakes were both delicious. Conveniently situated quite near the M5 between J12 and J13. We hope to visit again on one of our journeys between Birmingham and Bristol/Devon.

We had lunch here and were very pleased with the food, the varied menu, the enthusiastic and pleasant service, the cleanliness - in fact everything was excellent.

Excellent Service, nothing was too much trouble. Wide and varied menu for all tastes. Flexible with timings to suit needs of attending a wedding.

You can never go wrong with the carvery here. Always excellent with a selection of meats and veg too

by the time sunday lunch comes around I am usually starving, this sunday as I walked into this heavily decrated pub with wood was no exception. The cooking smell were lovely as indeed was he meal of beef with everything when it arrived,fresh warm and tasty, The pub is very nice and the atmosophere was excellent, a recommeneded stop for sunday lunch

Fuimos para una comida un martes por la noche, lo cual no es sorprendente era tranquilo. Tenía un entrante, plato principal y postre. La sopa estaba sabrosa pero un poco demasiado finas para mi gusto, pero sin embargo el tomar solomillo plato principal era magnífico. Desierto estaba bien, pero para ser justos no tienen un montón de espacio. En general, una muy tarde, y mantienen una gran pinta de Wickwar Ale.

Booked last minute for a family birthday, our first time to the Malt House despite being local. Restaurant has a nice feel to it, split onto two levels with plenty of beams and exposed wood and stone to give it a degree of charm. A nice warm welcome from the waiting staff and we were shown to our seats and ordered drinks. There were a surprising number of diners there, giving us a good feeling that the food must be half decent!Carvery lunch was £9.40per person, not cheap, but we found the quality to be good. The portion size of meat was generous, then it was help yourself on veg and potatoes. Plenty of choice of veg and the staff were quick to refill when running out - in fact the waiting staff told us at the table when all the veg had been replenished.Staff were attentive throughout, and a surprise ice cream and candle for the birthday person was a nice touch.Improvements? Well, the gravy could have been a touch hotter and the staff could have waited until the restaurant was empty before emptying the carvery keep-warm serving unit of water. But minor points.Overall, we'll be back!If anyone from the Malt House reads this, please put details of the carvery and your evening menus on your website, save us having to ring for details!

I had the Halibut Steak with mash and salad which was gorgeous. Was tempted by the sausage and mash (there was a whole page of different sausage options to chose from) but the fish won in the end. Not disappointed at all.

Good food and real ale, warm welcome and clean and tidy rooms. Ideal stop over if in the area for one or two nights.

Lots of good vegetarian options. Staff couldn't do enough for us, free wifi and good drinks. Food cooked fresh and to order. We did smile at the music playing, Christmas music in May! so funny, Very happily eat there anytime

This is not a flash establishment in any way. However, the welcome is friendly and the rooms clean and adequate. The decor is quite old fashioned and the fittings are not modern and stat of the art. If this is what you seek then 'The Malt House' is not for you.The restaurant menu is excellent - good and plentiful pub grub with a wide choice. The staff were friendly apart from one young girl whi said next to nothing as she produced our meals - she needs some training to help her liaise in a more friendly manner with customers.Overall we had a good stay and I would recommend this to others.

Called here on a Friday lunchtime, having got details from the AA Pub Guide. Unfortunately it was closed - bankruptcy?, wedding? family bereavement? Who knows. There was no sign or notice just someone shouting 'we're closed' at us as we drove into the car park.

We had a meal here as it was one of the restaurants accepting our Taste card, this gives you 50% of your food. My husband ordered a pie, which was clearly with one made of a frozen pastry tops you put over a dish, & I had Lasagna & chips. The chips were pale & under cooked, the Lasagna itself watery. We found the prices to be very expensive for the quality we'd received.We'd previously had a really good meal there sone years ago, so we felt disappointed. Whether it was the chef having a bad day, or a change of hands I do not know. We won't be rushing back there again.

We had the Sunday Carvery on the 24 August, the choice of meats and portions were excellent.Similarly the choice of veg was good and tasty, my only comment is that I would have liked some boiled new potatoes. The service was great & the staff were very friendly. We were only visiting the castle and are not locals but we would come here again for the roast dinners!
