Room size and configuration
Always request a family room or interconnecting rooms rather than a standard double — the difference in space and privacy is significant. TripSage briefings tell you exactly which room types to ask for at each property.
Parking and transport
If you're driving, check parking availability and cost upfront — it's often not included in the room rate and can add £20–£40 per night. Hotels near bus or train links save significant time when touring with children.
Pool access and timings
A pool is often the single factor that makes a family stay memorable. Check depth, session times and whether there's a shallow end — not all hotel pools are suitable for young children.
Location and walking distance
Being 10 minutes' walk from the main sights is worth paying extra for when you have tired children at the end of a long day. Check the top things to do in Gloucester and pick a hotel that puts them within easy reach.
