The hotel was amazing from start to finish, answered all my questions on line promptly check in was great we arrived early and it wasn't a problem room was spotless requested a fan which was in the room when we arrived. Staff friendly and helpful and breakfast was a great variety. We stayed in a family room which gave us a double room a small corridor still attached to this room bathroom then another bedroom with two single beds recommend this hotel to any one.

Property needs some tlc, very steep windy and uneven stairs to rooms - part of the period for the property, but would have appreciated this being noted somewhere. If you have more than an overnight bag to carry it’s quite a task on the stairs! Breakfast was good and staff friendly. Car park has very tight entrance and full of potholes - we opted to pay in carpark behind the hotel

Really lovely hotel in the centre of Ross-on- Wye. We brought our dog and she was well catered for too (dog biscuits in the room)! Very quiet night and comfy bed. Great restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

This property is well located in the centre of town with easy walking distance to the river, cafes and town sites. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinner are very good. The only downside is that rooms are accessed by very steep circular stairs and the car park is accessed by a very tight driveway and limited parking spaces. There is a public car park behind that is easier to access, but Pay and Display during the day. We very much enjoyed our stay in this heritage pub and feel the warmth of the staff made it easy to see past a few drawbacks.

Old property so be prepared for squeaking floors and other noises, well worth a stay. Riverside walks and lots of pubs. Man of Ross worth a visit.

This is a very old pub so to be expected that floors are somewhat uneven, took a bit of time to get used to this. Room was at front of building,had a large, comfortable bed and nice clean bathroom. Sadly our stay was spoilt by other guests on Saturday night making lots of noise till the early hours. Breakfast was excellent with good choices, particularly catering for gluten free diet. Staff were always pleasant and helpful.
