Very good

A lovely place with very friendly staff.

The pub was looking beautiful and so well decorated for Christmas. The meal was lovely, and my room (18 - across the road) was warm and comfortable with a fabulous big bed. The owner was welcoming and the waitress superb. Thank you, and I will definitely return.

The bathroom could do with a little refreshing, but the owner said this was scheduled. Then it will be perfect. Breakfast was disappointing in comparison to an excellent dinner. I couldn't eat the sausage as it was so overcooked, and the bacon was very fatty.

Superb

Very lovely, comfortable and cozy pub hotel in a quaint village with the Wye valley on its doorstop

The room was nice and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent (as was the lady serving it) and the village location is lovely. The food in the pub is extremely good too and the staff are helpful. It was my husband's birthday and he was given a surprise pudding which was very thoughtful.

The bathroom was very small, some people will really struggle with the size of the shower (though it is nice and hot). We ate in the pub in the evening and, though the food was good, we found the service as a bit inadequate. I have fed this back directly to the hotel but I think the staff members in the pub, though friendly and willing, could do with a bit more training. We got poured the wrong drinks, our meals came without sides etc! This is a very minor point, which is probably to do with the fact that the pub was renovated a couple of months back and lots of the staff are likely new.

Very good

Just a little more attention to detail and this could be perfect.

Location and how clean it was. Like the selection of teas and toiletries.

The smell in the room was awful. The pillows were hard as rocks. Tiles and light missing in the bathroom and the radiator was rusty.

Good

I'm sure it'll be lovely once it's done up

The room was simple but comfortable and we had a good night of sleep. The village is very quaint and we had a lovely pub dinner at The White Horse. The bathroom was small but had good water pressure and warm.

We were told renovations would be done by the time we came to stay but they weren't. We went to check in and felt really out of place on what was essentially a construction site. The new owner apologised and showed us to our room but kept emphasising all the ways in which it didn't meet her standards ("we scrubbed and scrubbed", "it's very dated") and how the rooms would be better once refurbished (not much use to us!). Honestly the room was fine but it did put us off from the get go. The main downside of the room: thin walls/ceilings so we could really hear upstairs, the water pipes in the shower were exposed and burnt my hand on one of them. Because of the renovations, we didn't have a cooked breakfast at the Inn, just small bits in our room. We were told we could get breakfast at the tea room in the village but that was closed for a whole week too. We know they were doing their best given their renovation works had overrun, but maybe don't have customers until it's done? Paying over 100 in those circumstances felt a bit much.
