Loved this place. The people taking care of it are very friendly. Breakfast was a treat. And a nice location for a hike up the mountain just outside the door. read more

Wye Rapids Cottage

I have stayed at Wye Rapids a few times now and every time is better than the last. Comfy, clean…read morewith all the amenities you can ask for (including an amazing wood burning stove to keep you warm). If you want a relaxing few days away from the hustle and bustle, this location is perfect. You can cycle, walk or hire a canoe to venture out onto the fierce rapids or just take the boat across the river and settle down in the Saracens Head Pub with a local brewed beer and a bag of crisps. Beautiful scenery and forest walks, great pubs nearby and lots of peace and quiet. Check the website for availability.

The old house is very well kept and as you would expect as you enter. The bedroom I had was a good size with a King size bed (but not necessary as I was the only one in it!). The bathroom was very modern except nowhere for the toilet roll to 'live' and no place for your toothbrush or aftershave to sit. The mirror had LED's in it but didn't work, and the shower floor very slippy (no anti-slip) as I almost when ar** over t**!!!! The swimming pool looked new and inviting (I didn't use as I was here on my own and couldn't be bothered). There was just something missing at every level really. Staff constantly called you 'Sir'... My bathroom had all my stuff on the floor... The breakfast buffet looked nice but actually limited choice but it looked grand because of the setting... Overall very nice, but not my ideal choice (I was here on business so wouldn't choose this myself despite it being a similar price to a top Premier Inn)

Helpful, courteous, and attentive friendly staff, always there when you need them, but at the same time unobtrusive. The rooms are really spacious, bright & airy with lovely, modern decor, and as mentioned, spotlessy clean. All the usual room comforts are provided such as tea/coffee making facilities, ironing board+iron and TV. The bathroom was really gorgeous too with a roll-top bath plus walk-in shower. Expensive smelling toileties & beautifuly soft white fluffy towels completed the superior ambiance of the whole building. Breakfast was a delightful experience, with excellent quality locally sourced food, and plenty of it. Some things were even home-made too, like the delicious jams and marmalade. Oh, and better not forget to mention that they also cater for veggetarians. There is lots of attention to detail here, with everything you could want to hand - and if it's not there just ask, & you will be given - with a smile, I might add! I can't praise the owners high enough for their unwavering consideration towards their guests, which in my opinion more than ensures return visits, and plenty of them! To summerize: Outstanding.If I could award more than five stars on this reveiw, then believe me, I would - ten times over!!!

Such a wonderful experience!…read more Although the food and setting was gorgeous, service felt unpretentious and wonderfully paced. The soundtrack for the afternoon was likewise; I think I expected some form of ambient trance and, this is not a joke, "Down in New Orleans" from Disney's "Princess and the Frog" played during our appetizer course (we thought this was hilarious and awesome). With regard to drinks, the seasonal Sorrel Daiquiri was my friend's favorite and the wine selection was very interesting with lots of English and Welsh options. I ordered off of the vegetarian menu and I didn't miss meat for a heartbeat--and, as a bonus, they grow, harvest, and serve a number of vegetables from their own property. It can feel like a financial investment, and it's certainly out of the way, but well worth it.

A very warm welcome awaited us, and we were shown to our room where freshly-baked warm Welshcakes awaited us. I took a leisurely bath and got ready for our tasting menu dinner. The food was phenomenal - having eaten shortly beforehand at Tom Kitchin's in Edinburgh, aspects of this meal were even better. The canapes, the cocktails, the bread, the nice touch of the nettle macaron to send you off to bed - all amazing. The service was really exceptional, really fantastic. They were also happy to accommodate my dietary requirements and substitute dishes, which was great. The only downside to dinner was that the chef patron walked out of the kitchen and straight past us (and then back to kitchen) without greeting any of the diners - seemed a bit odd when he wasn't really that busy and there were only 4 of us. It didn't mar our enjoyment of the meal, but would have been an "icing on the cake" touch. The chap who was in charge of service was really brilliant - his recommendations were spot-on. The dining room is very small, only one other couple were dining at the same time of us - the atmosphere was a little weird as they appeared to have fallen out before dinner! But we had a great time, despite my partner having a terrible cold. We had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed, and then breakfast next morning was another culinary triumph. I can't wait to go back soon!

My parents used to live about 10 miles from Glewstone and it was a regular lunch and occasional special dinner stop, now it is a useful stop for lunch on travelling from South Wales to the Midlands and North. Over the years little has changed and the owners Christine and Bill remain excellent hosts and restaurateurs. On our last visit the sun was shining enough to sit outside and have a delicious lunch, wonderful goat's cheese salad. The garden is beautiful and makes one feel like the lady/lord of the manor. A little more expensive than stopping at motorway services but only a little, so next time you're passing Ross on Wye give it a try.

We were met with a warm reception, and cannot fault the all-round friendly helpfulness of the staff. We found our room to be perfectly adequate, clean and comfortable if not rather small, but have to say that we got the distinct impression that the accommodation side of the business came as a secondary after-thought as most of the focus seemed to be put into the restaurant as the primary consideration. Large parties & weddings seem to take precedence. The food was excellent, well thought out & invitingly presented. I can definately recommend the Sunday Lunch! All in all, this is a reasonably priced, pleasant hotel with eager-to-please owners, and is the perfect base from which to explore the Wye Valley.

I regret being nice and paying for it rather than sending it back. Tho no one asked how we liked our mains either. If it had been good, it still would have been over priced. Had a cheese starter than tasted decent but not worth £15. I booked after looking at what's listed as the menu on the site not realizing that was only for residents. Non-residents get a different, less appealing and over priced menu that's called the Tudor dining room menu. That would have been nice of them to mention when I asked if they were open to non-residents. Shame because looking at their menu, their are some dishes that looked appetizing.
