Old Court Apartments dog friendly!
Pros:

The staff went over and above to make me and my dog welcome. The apartment had everything I required. It was peaceful. The hotel and apartments are within easy reach of fabulous walks along the Wye.

Cons:

The kitchen in the apartment kitchen is very dated and rather tired. I ate in the hotel so I didn't need to use it much.

Nothing at all about staff or property but residents were rather inconsiderate stomping up and down the stairs early in the morning before normal waking hours

Excellent hotel with wonderful bar and food
Pros:

Wonderful location and very convenient for commuters. Peacefully situated. Nice options on evening menu in bar and quality of food very high. Staff were lovely.

Cons:

Plug sockets in room not in the best places but appreciate it is a very old building and wiring can't be the easiest thing!

Pros:

Although it's a very old building and the corridor gives an outdated impression. The bed and crisp white linen were one of the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. And the bathroom is very modern, with a wonderfully powerful and hot shower. All the staff were incredibly helpful, and breakfast is well above par.

Our first stay at the Old Court Hotel. Would recommend.
Pros:

Excellent staff. Great food. Fabulous location.
Easy parking.

Cons:

We did book a 'compact room' and it was! Was fine for one night. Not a fan of the 'snow soap' especially for washing hair. Luckily I'd packed my own shower gel.

A few improvements
Pros:

Location, interesting building , staff were friendly

Cons:

Room we stayed in overlooked the garden but no voile curtain for privacy, had to draw curtains which wasn't ideal as it was daylight and hot.
Good selection at buffet breakfast, disappointed with hot choice of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Extremely salty, salmon mixed in with the eggs which meant it was partially cooked, strange way to serve them.
Evening meal, overcooked hake, very dry and new potatoes that had a texture suggesting, they had been sat or reheated .
Such a shame as the menu had great choices.
