A very cosy hotel with absolutely fabulous views. The family room was really spacious, with a comfortable double bed and a single, giving us plenty of room to relax. Although the hotel itself is a little outdated, the stunning views more than make up for it and add to the overall charm. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended for comfort and scenery

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food in restaurant very good. Excellent value for money. It's being refurbished and this does need to continue, as some parts are a bit 'tired', though still very clean. Main criticism would be the lighting - mis-matched and dull lighting in the bedrooms, would be an easy fix. Would definitely recommend though, given excellent value for money and great food.

Very friendly and warm staff (except the breakfast lady who was perhaps having a bad morning). Room was a good size and had a big smart tv on the wall. Although the bathroom was a bit dated it had plentiful, really hot water for the bath (the electric shower was a tad underwhelming).
The restaurant seemed a bit pricey at first but actually the portions were large and everything was very well cooked and presented - so it ended up being very good value.
It’s close to a fast road but we couldn’t hear any traffic noise from the room.
Overall a very pleasant stay and I would book there again without checking out alternatives.

Single Night Stay - Family with Toddler.

Family Room - Extremely Dated and needs revamping (but not modernising to lose the heritage) The views are fantastic facing to the rear fields from the room however.

Staff - Awkward Communication from beginning to end, cleaners left their gear lying everywhere in hallways and stairs.

Breakfast - hilariously awkward, hostess watches you like a prison warden too ensure your not sharing your toast with the other inmates…

old fashioned holiday inn vibes cold buffet, all generic foodstuffs and watching the same hostess chow on Watermelon straight out serving area was off putting as hell.

Breakfast is completely underwhelming and skippable tbh.

The room was cold and dingy with a dirty window cill and walls around it. A small radiator was lukewarm, an old electric wall heater lasted about 3 minutes. I am mystified how it got a high rating. I was so angry but too tired to complain. It cost over £70. I've had better stays at motorway services for £20 less.

When we arrived the evening staff were great, friendly and efficient. Our evening meal was good British menu well cooked and presented.
Our room was clean, not the most comfortable beds, but the real problem was lack of sleep. We were on the ground floor and there was no sound proofing, the person/people in room above were walking or moving stuff around until midnight and started again just after 4am. Their floorboards were creaking so loudly that after not being able to sleep until late, we were woken again in the early hours!!
It seems t e hotel is used by travelling workers?
In the morning I was going to have a polite word at check out but the elderly man and two women were in conversation and just handed us a copy of our receipt without asking if we’d had a good stay so we left.
I really don’t know how this hotel gets 10/10 reviews???

The welcome was somewhat confusing, after waiting a while we were greeted by a man \"what are you here for\" ... strange thing to say when you turn up to a hotel. so basically not the friendly response you would imagine. the hotel was old and a little run down, some areas have started to be renovated.

Lovely room but if you’re planning on staying, choose an upstairs room. We were in the Garden Suite on the ground floor and we were kept awake by the couple in the room above who kept walking back and forth constantly. This woke us up at 7am every morning.

The breakfast certainly isn’t worth the £12.50 charged. Food tasted like it had all been microwaved or kept warm. Coffee was really bitter.

The hotel reception and restaurant really needs a facelift to keep up with some of the refurbished rooms.

The food was absolutely delicious with great choices for the evening meal. It was beautifully cooked and well presented ( hats off to the chef).
Our room, no 15, was a lovely size with valley views. The only drawback was the bathroom. I don't want to be critical but just give the facts......there was a shower over the bath with a shower curtain and the bath was very narrow, so there was a grab rail one side and a shower curtain sticking to you at the other. Neither my husband nor I are large people but if you were a larger person it might be worth seeing if there are any alternative rooms.

Garden Suite - almost perfect

We booked the Garden Suite which was a lovely room with stunning views. Unfortunately on the first night there was a young family in the room above us and they were pretty noisy jumping up and down. I asked reception to have a polite word which they did. My only other negative was the bed; the mattress was so hard it was a killer. The hotel did put a duvet directly onto the mattress but I think having the option to have a topper would have been better, especially given the luxury sell of the suite.

With all that said, staff were responsive, the room itself was lovely and the evening meal was delicious

The Pilgrims choice.

The hotel was out from the city centre but was on a bus route to get into Hereford so we left the car in their free carpark and went shopping and watched the rugby.
Lovely area and the views were fantastic from the hotel dining rooms.
There was new menu starting yesterday and the choice of meals were very good.
We had dinner - pork loin and a braised beef cheek, which were both excellent and a choice of a hot cooked breakfast or a cold buffet , both were really good.
The room was a little dated but the bed and pillows were very comfortable.
The drinks were reasonably priced and there was a good choice.
Would definitely stay at the hotel again.

Clean enough & the staff were lovely! The hotel is very dated though & there were several maintenance things i noticed - i.e. hairdryer broken, peeling paint on much of the radiator, threadbare carpeting, etc.

Overall, OK for the couple of days there but ultimately i would prefer that they just advertise in an honest way instead of trying to make it look fancy.
