The property is located just off the one-way system near the main town centre. There’s no dedicated parking, but nearby street parking is free for two hours between 08:30–18:30 and unlimited after hours and on Sundays. You can briefly stop on the double yellow lines outside to drop off your luggage. Check-in and Communication: I called a week in advance to request an early arrival so I could get changed for a wedding, which was agreed to. However, on the day, the situation felt awkward due to the cleaner being in the room and being stroppy about the room not finished being cleaned so we could drop our bags off. There was also no communal space available to change in. The check-in (5–8pm) and check-out (10am) times are also not the most convenient. First Impressions: From the outside, the property has some charm, but there’s a fine line between “antique aesthetic” and simply “aged and worn”, and this place sits somewhere in between.also Wifi login did not work! Arrival Experience: There’s clear signage outside. After climbing three stone steps and ringing the bell, you enter a very small reception area which smelled of laundry from a nearby dryer. From there, more carpeted stairs lead up to Room 4, and then a narrow set of steps (with an aged grey carpet) to a loft area with two single beds and a double bed. The Room: We stayed in Room 4 which was in the attic. The room features wood floors, pine furniture, a few old prints and books, and exposed wooden beams, which are

The property advertised car parking available - false!!. The pictures indicated a really pretty house with gardens and historic bedrooms: in fact the entrance was dirty with a huge armoire stuffed in the space and leading up some steep stone steps to a landing which was dark and dingy, the pictured gardens could be accessed via a door marked Private and the rooms were up a narrow dark staircase. Room was reasonably clean but had dust on every surface, bathroom was in what looked like a converted corridor with shower and a toilet where you couldn’t sit straight it was so narrow, basin (old 1970’s avocado color) was in the bedroom and set into a cheap old and battered Formica worktop, fridge under was sat on what looked like old foil backed insulation. Were it not for the fact that we were staying one night I would have run hard and fast. Sadly other accommodation in the town looked similarly run down and overall Ross on Wye is not the town it used to be. Very disappointing and we felt very misled by the on line description. The ratings on Expedia must be fake as I can’t see anyone rating this anywhere near an 8-10 for any aspect.

It was a splendid place to stay. If you love history then you must stay here. It is very convenient for eateries, parking and it fulfils all the expectations that we have got used to these days. We only stayed one night but we wished we had stayed longer. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

It’s an oldie worldie place but it’s quirky enough to give it a 5 out of 5. It’s odd and won’t feature highly in the top 10 places to visit but it’s convenient. The rooms are very old and well…..odd with random furniture scattered about but the owner is friendly and it’s close to shops and places to eat. Shower was warm and bed was comfy. There’s free parking on the road a few minutes walk away between 6pm and 9am. If you’ve walking difficulties this hotel might not be for you as there’s no lift and the stairs are tight.

This property is a very old building and offers quite a quirky style of accommodation. However this only added to the enjoyment of our stay at Ross on Wye. The room was very large and catered for all our requirement. An absolutely lovely place to stay. Would thoroughly recommend.

Quite an unusual property which I really liked but it wasn’t what my partner would have chosen. They did come round to it though. Very handy for the town and restaurants and lovely walks nearby. Fridge in room with water, bathroom a little cramped but at least it was clean and the host (who I think may live there) was very friendly.
