Great views and access to the River Wye

A pleasant stay in an old hotel situated near the River Wye in Symonds Yat. Lovely walks very close to the hotel and some water sports hire a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Enjoyed our stay at the Royal Lodge. Dinner was really good. Everything was dog friendly and even she was given a little meal. Felt the rooms could do with a little revamping but were clean and tidy.

An excellent stay

Interesting rambling hotel built into the hillside, resulting in multiple steps up to the bedrooms. Excellent restaurant and friendly and helpful staff. Minor niggles on the plumbing & shower: the cold pipe appear to be bundled with the hot and produces tepid water unless run for a long time - not ideal in a heatwave. The soap dispensers are about head level that make them awkward to operate. A lower location would be better. No basket or shelf in the shower for flannel or own soap or shampoo.
