The Lock Keepers

About The Lock Keepers

The Lock Keepers pairs a contemporary British restaurant with eight en-suite guest rooms in a canalside building at Over, on the western edge of Gloucester close to the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Its position beside the water gives it a genuinely tranquil feel while remaining only a short drive from the cathedral and city centre.

The restaurant serves seasonal, locally sourced dishes for lunch and dinner through the week and a dedicated Sunday lunch service, and its reputation for food is the main draw for many guests booking a room. Rooms are simply but comfortably furnished, aimed at guests prioritising the dining experience alongside a peaceful overnight stay.

Its small scale and canalside setting suit couples and travellers after a quieter, more intimate alternative to Gloucester's larger hotels, with the city's main sights easily reached by a short drive or taxi.
