Very Good

Very clean room. Comfortable bed. Had a forest view but to be fair it's a tall wall full of foliage. Could have looked nicer with a bit of planting / tidying up. Restaurant breakfast & evening meal were both great. Pleasant staff.
This is the first time we have stayed at this hotel but it certainly will not be the last. The hotel staff were excellent, very helpful, polite and accommodating. Our room was clean, airy and very cosy, a fan and cold water was in the room for our comfort during the hot weather we experienced. Breakfast was wonderful, well cooked, good quality food and plenty of it. The continental breakfast was equally excellent, great choice of everything. On the whole we are more than happy to recommend this premises and look forward to our next visit.

Atmosphere was happy . Staff very helpful and friendly.
Food was good .
Didn’t like the mobile catering units at the front and in the garden … they looked horrid and we didn’t expect to see them .
Beautiful view from our spacious room. Bed was very comfortable. The lodge is quite remote on a single lane road and we had a traffic jam on the road on Saturday morning.
We had a wonderful time during our 11 day stay. The staff is phenomenal, so attentive, professional and helpful. We stayed in the Oak Suite and would highly recommend to everyone. The Juliet balcony and private deck was perfect for morning and evening relaxation. The boat cruise was just steps from the Lodge and hiking along the Wye was an easy walk where you could see the rapids and kayaks working hard. Kudos to the staff and management for an awesome experience.
Very happy overnight stay in a family room for a family of four. Very homely atmosphere, the hotel is an older building so a bit quirky but nothing to detract from being comfortable. Played table tennis and pool on the small & unbalanced table - all good fun for non-serious players. Food was good too.

Watch out for hidden charges for parking and pets that aren't mentioned upfront.
Otherwise ok, bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, nice location.
Lovely location with outstanding views. Amazing breakfasts to see you through the day and very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you and made us feel very special.
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.

Great stay
Old hotel but friendly staff and clean rooms. Perfect for a hiking trip in symonds yat
The hotel is situated in a beautiful picturesque valley, beside the river. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and the room, dog friendly option, was clean and tidy x
The setting is amazing! Lovely walks straight from the door of the hotel.
