a decent experience

lovely viewquiet roomcoffee machineoutdated bathroom
i appreciate the lovely views of the countryside. rooms were quiet, despite the hotel being on the a49, because mine was at the back. the evening meal was well done and used good local ingredients.
the breakfast staff needs training. by ten minutes after last orders, the coffee machine was switched off. the bathroom was very outdated and in need of refurbishment.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I found the breakfast good. The location in the Herefordshire hills was beautiful, and there was plenty of parking in front of the hotel.
The room was small and a little tired. I found the food and drink good but a little overpriced. The room decoration seemed stuck in a 1972 vibe. It was clean, but very basic.
