The hotel is very well hidden down windy roads about half an hour's drive from Hay on Wye and the Hay Festival, which is where we were going. Beautiful hotel, super disabled room with everything one could want. Breakfast very good, we did not eat dinner. The staff all seemed very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous gardens which I did manage...

The hotel is situated in a beautiful area of the country, the approach is classic country house with wonderfully kept grounds. The hotel is very smart inside, tastefully decorated with some lovely antiques. My room didn't disappoint, beautiful view over the river Usk and hills beyond, balcony doors allow you to hear the river at night. It was well furnished,... More

The Hotel is hidden away up a small winding forest road. As you drive through the gates of the driveway, the contrasting burst of colour of the beautiful gardens is a wonderful surprise. The reception rooms are comfortable and attractive with a welcoming log fire in the cooler evening. The terrace has exceptional views across the valley and down to... More

We visited this hotel for two nights after reading a 5* review by The hotel Inspector. Arrived Friday at 5pm after a 4 hour drive. Visited Abergaveny on route and we felt like it was going back in time by around 10 years, restaurants and shops need to move forward to catch up with the rest of the UK. Driving... More

This is a beautiful hotel set in a stunning valley near Crickhowell in Wales. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Afternoon tea was delicious and the dinners were outstanding! The staff were very helpful, from the lovely ladies who cleaned the rooms to the desk people they all made you feel welcome.

We went here for an evening meal with friends. We had a lovely walk in the grounds and along the river frist. We were made so welcome and the staff were simply excellent (despite being a bit muddy). The hotel is how I imagine its like staying in a Scottish Lodge. Beautiful, with open fires and a warm and friendley... More
