Lovely old building and pub

Beautiful old building with a lovely bar/pub and restaurant (which we only used for breakfast). Staff were allvery friendly. Room was furnished very well, with a big, comfortable bed, however the duvet appeared to be two singles zipped together rather than a super kingsize and only just covered the bed. There was a fair amount of noise in the early mornings from outside (pub preparations) and the room upstairs, so I needed my earplugs. The bathroom decor was good and nice, big white towels, but the shower door wouldn't close completely, so a lot of water escaped onto the floor. Excellent location in the town centre.

Great place to stay

A very good stay. Great location. Plenty of character with period stairs and floors. Would have given 5 stars if the maintenance had been a bit better. Just little things really, all easily fixable. Would certainly recommend for a stay.

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 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.
