Great location with hotel somewhat in need of a facelift
Pros:

The location of the property in Symonds Yat (West) is ideal for access to the River Wye and the activities hosted on/in it. Close to the great hostelry that’s Ye Olde Ferrie Inn, and not far upstream from both of the hand-pulled ferries that cross to Symonds Yat (East). Parking is free for hotel customers, with a pass provided at reception. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom was compact, but comfortable enough.

Cons:

The hotel could do with an uplift, externally it looks a bit tired, but it would be a significant undertaking to make wholesale changes. Internally, it feels dark and slightly claustrophobic, which could be partially solved with modern, well-placed lighting.

We moved that night to a different hotel, we can't stand the smell.
Pros:

I stayed in this hotel twice already and the previous stays was amazing.

Cons:

I booked this hotel with my Husband and this is his first time, and I hype this hotel to him, only to find out that its has changed management and the hotel turned into not what I expected. The smell all around the hotel plus the room is just off.

Value for money , friendly staff breakfast not included which was a shock on checkout .
Pros:

Fantastic location in a very scenic area .

Cons:

External of property in desperate need of cosmetic maintenance.
Probably worth having a contractor look at the flat roof as it currently has a selection of wooden pallets on top of it probably holding down the felt roof coverings.

adequate but not blown away
Pros:

The staff were attentive and friendly, working hard as there were not enough of them. Overall we would stay again if in the area, but would not come back to stay

Cons:

Bed mattress was very sunken and my wife has left with her back being aggravated and the shower was very poor indeed but rooms were spacious and it is very quiet, which was nice

Squeaky beds
Pros:

Great location - walkable to Wye Adventures which is what we needed. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Beds were so squeaky they woke us up every time the other person moved so we both slept very poorly unfortunately. Would have been fine for a single person or very heavy sleepers. Expensive for what you get.
