This was a cozy inn with a fantastic pub and helpful staff! However, there is nothing for miles around except beautiful nature walks so if you want more, bussing or a car is a must!

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.
