A perfect country getaway

Maria, who is front of house, was so welcoming and later, in the dining room she tirelessly looked after us and all the other guests. The food was fantastic and I understand her husband is head chef, Joseph Colman. The rooms were attractive and very comfortable with lovely bathrooms. I would certainly recommend this as a wonderful getaway.

Beautiful Gastro Hotel in the Countryside

Gorgeously restored and decorated country retreat. Very friendly and efficient staff. Top class meal using local ingredients. Lovely break away. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Thank you Maria and Team

High-end country pub with excellent restaurant, the perfect weekend get away slot. Lovely staff, good service and near to a real-life castle. Although I recommend avoiding the room with a bathroom upstairs - cool initially but ultimately annoying in the middle of the night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Booked and confirmed via email . Got there at night and the hotel was closed . When calling the only number available the message says “ closed since November 2025 due to flooding “ . Our booking was online in January 2026 so they knew this already and still accepted the reservation . £200 out the window and had to drive to Abergavenny to look for accommodation late at night …

Beautiful rural setting in verdant valley

This was a surprise overnight birthday visit for my best friend and the hotel surpassed itself in fulfilling all the requirements I had requested. The food was first class and interestingly presented, whilst the service was warm and discreet. Really comfortable beds in understated elegance with magnificent views and wonderful ambience.

disapointing

Have barely left the hotel & felt immediately compelled to leave a review as expectations were not met given previous great reviews. Room: bathroom is upstairs to bedroom with no door. Luckily I am traveling alone so not an issue. But one to bare in mind should there be two of you... Dinner: ordered the lamb, asked for mint sauce but there wasn't any. Surely this is a standard accompaniment? Breakfast: breakfast is not served until 9am!!! This includes a weekday. This is very late whether travelling on business or not! An 8am start at the very least would be better. They sent a continental breakfast to my room the night before instead, however as the rooms do not have a refrigerator and the breakfast included cold meats & salmon, most of it remained untouched.
