Great hotel,helpful staff, beautiful location.
Food was excellent. Hope to stay again.
Only fault was non existent wi fi in room. Had to go to restaurant to connect. Probably our room is just too far away from router.

Great spot, exceptional beauty. Hotel cosy and very clean.
Only thing is, parking should be in room price for people staying.
Food options limited and pricy but expected for such a beautiful spot.

We stayed for one night as we had a funeral to go to in the area. The hotel was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was very good value for the money.

Very quiet, undisturbed sleep. Lovely views of the river from room no.19. Nice big bath. Nice and warm throughout the hotel. Mattress a bit firm for my liking

I booked for river view but gave me a room where was with forest view. Not found any toothpaste and bathroom but was clean and hygiene. Very quite nice staff. Dinner was a bit expensive and quality was average.

The royal lodge was a tad tired and the parking over priced as the hotel owns parking.

Beautiful scenery but I'm still waiting for the refund you agreed. I stayed 2 nights but a third was taken from my account and I was told it would take 4 to 5 days to refund.
It's now10 days and no sign.

The hotel is a bit old and in need of some modernization but this is reflected in the price. Otherwise, it is clean and maintained.
The staff was very friendly and the location of course is a winner.

Location was excellent. Beautiful scenery and very quiet. Staff are pleasant and very helpful.
However, we were very disappointed with the accommodation. We noticed after arrival that the property website stresses that it is not a 4 star hotel but a lodge. I assume this is because other guests have been similarly disappointed by the supposedly 4 star accommodation. This accommodation is not 4 star by any standard! The property is very dated and in need of refurbishment.
Food also was not great and quite pricey.

The location and closeness to good walks.
However the upper floor rooms are not well insulated against noise from the other rooms or corridor.

Lovely friendly hotel. The dining room was a lovely space with a log burner and you could take your dog. We had an afternoon tea, evening meal and breakfast. All excellent meals. Wine a bit pricey though. We had a double aspect room overlooking the Wye - view beautiful especially with the autumn colours. The walks were literally outside the front door and Symonds Yat rock was directly behind us. Rained a bit but the hotel was a cosy warm sanctuary from the elements. Staff were all very pleasant. Would definitely go again.

On the whole it was a good stay; there were only two issues we faced: 1) We had to pay £20 for our dog, which we were not told about until we arrived! 2) We thought the on-line information said we could take the dog into the dinning room/restaurant - but we found this was not permitted, hence we did not have an evening meal or a breakfast, because we would not leave our small dog alone in the room.

Basic accommodation, bar/ restaurant lacking atmosphere. Don’t expect to eat after 8pm. Clean but dated/basic room.
