Inn on the Wye

It was a hugely disappointing stay. The check-in was basically a farce. The room was double-booked, and we were advised to return at 6 pm, which we refused to do. There was no management regime evident. Our room was basic but clean, the bed was very uncomfortable. There was ample wardrobe space. Outside of the room, the wooden railings were rotten and broken and would easily break should someone tumble and presents a real danger. The food for the evening was nice. The staff in the evening were more efficient but appear rushed. The Sunday morning breakfast was satisfactory but a long time in arriving. Overall we will not be returning and would not be recommending anyone else. The establishment is tired, and in dire need of refurbishment, the outside is untidy and presents a poor image.

Unfortunately, the venue needs serious TLC – it's run-down and tired. When I arrived, it looked closed, and I wasn’t sure I had the right place. The outside could really do with a clean-up; there’s an old double-decker bus out front that looks abandoned, and the kerb appeal just isn’t there – weeds, dirty windows, and rusting railings all add to that tired feel. Even a dead bird on the drive up to the carpark which has been there a while by the looks of it. Inside the bar/restaurant, most lights were off, which again made it feel like the bar area might be closed. Having what looked like someone’s old lounge sofa and chairs in the corner felt a bit out of place — the worn cream leather didn’t really suit the space and looked quite tired. I ordered food, which arrived quickly and looked lovely, but the strong smell from the Indian side of the restaurant really dominated the whole venue — especially noticeable during breakfast. It might be worth looking into the extraction system, as the scent was quite overpowering. The food itself wasn’t the tastiest I’ve had, but it was freshly cooked to order. Access to the bar via the outdoor stairs isn’t the easiest — they’re a bit tricky, so I’d recommend taking extra care. The indoor stairs down to the bar could also use some attention, with loose carpet and low lighting making them feel a little unsafe. The walk up to the bedrooms at the back revealed broken spindles and a rotten, damaged roof over the path. There’s also an old caravan next door which looks abandoned, though I wasn’t sure if it’s still in use. On a positive note, I was pleasantly surprised when I entered my room — it smelled fresh, and the bedding looked clean and well presented. The room itself was basic, and the lighting was very dim, which could be improved, but the location was quiet and I had a lovely, peaceful sleep. That said, the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the bar was well stocked. With its great location and some investment in appearance, this place could have real potential. The place is in real need of some time, care, and attention. I’d recommend removing the old vehicles like the bus and caravan and focusing on restoring this charming building to its full potential. I am sorry to say but I think that the price tag on night’s stay here is extremely high. Maybe an idea to join in the the planned walks and use the bar as an official starting/ending point, make the experience all about the walks. I would contact the local council to see if there was a way to do a collaboration, fund raising days, community coffee mornings, freshen the bus up and advertise this also for the kids. Put clear signing at the bottom on the drive ( the one there currently is covered by overgrown hedges ) Light the building up starting with the drive entrance so that people know that this is open.

Stayed here 18 months ago for 2 nights, was not the best tbh. We have just stayed again for a 1 night stopover after holidaying in Cornwall. Stayed in one of the lodges,room was OK if a little basic, take your own toiletries as you only get 2 small pouches of all in one bodywash/shampoo and half a bog roll 😬 The bar and restaurant are ok if a bit tired, there is signs of water damage over the bar area, really needs sorting as it looks terrible as a customer. Evening meal was OK, breakfast service was mixed. The lady waiting tables was great,she did say the chef was slow, she wasn't lying either..husband ordered the full breakfast, I ordered scrambled eggs....40 minutes after the order was taken, we got our food,Husbands was OK, mine looked like vomit, the plate was warm, the food was stone cold, looked like they had been overcooked hrs ago, 2nd visit, won't be going again, shame, this place could be a gem, it's being pulled down by lazy cooking and lack of investment.

the experience of staying here is not one i would recommend. the whole place is looking tired and the room we were in had ants . we were asked to come to breakfast early for the convenience of the only staff member on duty. they need to have a look at why they were empty except for us both nights!! i should have taken note of rating and not given the benefit of the doubt

Very average Inn, rooms are tired, bed mattress was cheap and uncomfortable, shower not hot and bathroom very dated. Breakfast is normally a good indicator and it was really poor, the cooked breakfast was very small, and the ingredients were cheap and nasty, no toast arrived, tea cups were dirty, a great shame as venue has potential and location is good but needs urgent updating to decor and furnishings in bedrooms

Excellent service and lovely, really tasty Indian food. It also catered for one of our party who like English food. The service was prompt and friendly, but not intrusive which was just right. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely go again.
