Gloucester offers a blend of history and contemporary comforts for visitors. Here are some tips to enhance your stay.
Fast Fact: Did you know? 75% of Gloucester's hotels are located within historical buildings-take, for example, the Mercure Gloucester Bowden Hall Hotel, which was once a Victorian manor house.
Local Hack: Ask about 'breakfast baps' during your stay. Many hotels in the area provide these popular local rolls filled with bacon or sausage, often included in your morning meal.
Hidden Gem: Visit the Gloucester Docks (13 mins from the city center). This vibrant area features restored warehouses, shops, and cafes, offering a charming atmosphere without the tourist crowds.
Smart Tip: Booking during local festivals can lead to 25% lower rates at hotels. Keep an eye out for events like the Gloucester Quays Food Festival to snag deals.
