Cronache di Gloucester
Gloucester, a city with a rich history dating back to Roman times, has evolved from a Roman fort to a medieval wool town and a thriving industrial centre. The city's architectural heritage is a testament to its past, with the stunning Gloucester Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, standing proudly alongside the medieval Blackfriars Friary. Today, Gloucester is a vibrant cultural hub, hosting various festivals and events throughout the year, including the Gloucester Renaissance Festival and the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Festival. The city's historic docks, now a popular shopping and dining destination, offer a glimpse into its maritime past.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Malswick Mill B&B, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (above the second floor), as the lift is a traditional, slow-moving one and you'll have less chance of hearing it operating throughout the day. Additionally, rooms on the top floor with a south-facing orientation will receive plenty of natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or the bar, as they may be subject to noise from deliveries and evening activities. Also, rooms on the first floor are closer to the main road, so you may hear some traffic noise.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address in Gloucester doesn't provide any notable views of the city or surrounding landscape, but rooms on the higher floors may offer a glimpse of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
The second floor and above are likely to be quieter, given the slower lift operation and reduced noise from the service area.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel is located on a main road, so you may hear some traffic noise, especially on the lower floors. Additionally, the traditional lift may be noisy, especially when in operation.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room with a bath instead of a shower, as it's a more traditional setup and might be a nice touch. 2. If you're driving, be aware that parking spaces are limited, so it's a good idea to book in advance to secure a spot.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Visit at 3 PM on weekdays to hear the choir practice for free—it's quiet and atmospheric.
💡 The Roman and medieval artefacts are the highlight—ask staff to see the 'hidden' collection of carved stones in the basement. Free lockers for bags.
💡 Go at 3pm on a weekday to hear the choir practise in the quire — empty but for you and the voices echoing off the stone.
💡 Ask the warden about the 'crypt walk' – they sometimes open it up for a small donation.
