Generally very nice. Lovely atmosphere in the conservatory where we had our evening meal. Serving staff very good at dinner and breakfast. Room on the top floor was very hot and fairly dark - but comfortable.

Perfect nice hotel in a good location. If you have mobility issues ask for a ground floor room as the stairs are steep and twisty!! Breakfast was nice.

Charming and quirky hotel with good food.

We really enjoyed our three days here. Everyone was very friendly and the hotel is charming and quirky. The weather was very hot, so the addition of two sturdy portable fans was very welcome. We were in a lovely attic conversion and could see the countryside around for miles. Although we were at the top of the building, the water pressure was good and we could all have showers to cool off without any problems - plenty of hot water, too - and the toiletries smelled gorgeous. Breakfast cooked to order with fresh local produce and plenty of choice. Even though the hotel seemed fairly full there was no delay at all, but we never felt rushed or hurried either. We were lucky enough to be able to leave our car in the hotel car park throughout our stay - parking is limited, but we could see a public car park nearby - as there are good bus services to the neighbouring towns we wished to visit (Hereford and Monmouth). A really good short break.

The building is really old with rickety stairs! BUT our room was really big and airy and clean. Near to the river and nice pubs. Easy to find parking and nice check-in staff.

The staff were excellent. The rump stakes we had at dinner were, i think, the best I've had in many years. Our room was really quirky in as much as nothing was level except the bed. That might not be to everyone's liking but I thought it was great. Typical old building character right in heart of Ross on Wye.
