The Naight House B&B

You’re well looked after in this stylish B&B: breakfast is taken in the morning room facing the garden, or outside on sunny days. Start with homemade yogurt, fresh fruit, cereals and croissants with homemade jam, then move smoothly on to sausages from orchard-fed pigs, smoked salmon from the Severn & Wye Smokery up the road, honey from local bees and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

The entrance hall is thoughtfully kitted out with the means to make coffee or tea, and there’s always a seasonal treat – mince pies at Christmas, chocolate eggs at Easter – and plenty of information about the local area so you can plan your days. Between the two lovely bedrooms is a library with a chaise longue to retreat to.

The garden has year-round interest and plenty of seating. A public footpath runs along the riverbank and hearty souls can walk to Gloucester in 3 hours then get a taxi back to a very comfortable bed and a peaceful night.
