Friendly service . Very clean and nicely presented place. Lots to do in the area and staff happy to help with ideas. Nice little touch was a research area with comfortable chairs and leaflets , about the local area, to go through. Beer garden is a great place to relax. Would definitely be happy to return

The hotel room was quite basic and not very well laid out, I thought. Bed was comfortable. Compared to others I stayed in during the same week this was a much lower standard but a very similar price. Staff were really nice.

Very good traditional pub hotel.

Good location for a stay on the Welsh borders - friendly staff - room clean and well-appointed with good ensuite with nice toiletries and super fluffy towels. Dining in pub restaurant was very good, breakfast buffet very good too with selection of cereals, yoghurts, juices and cold cuts with fresh toast and croissants to the table. Close to River Wye and a village shop is within walking distance, as well as a garage with convenience store. There is a pretty beer garden too. Only drawback is location on main road means passing lorry noise may concern some - windows not double-glazed.
