Only here for a night, but had a really relaxing stay, perfect getaway from the city. The room was cozy and really clean, like insanely clean - I ran my finger over the top of the bathroom mirror and there wasn't a spec of dust. At all! There was plenty of complimentary coffee and tea in the room, a personal fridge with chilled water and welsh cakes for when you arrive. They also give you free earplugs, but it's so peacefulthere, i have no idea why you'd need them? Maybe in case of ghosts? Beakfast was included in the price, so we made sure we got on it, but i would have happily paid for it. Even though it's a steakhouse, the veggie breakfast was banging, the best one I've ever had and it was free. FREE!! The room we stayed in had a low beam in the middle of it, so being 6' 6", I was having to limbo under it, but that didn't detract from the charm of the place and I managed to avoid hitting my head even in the middle of the night. Rhe hotel is perfect location with all the pubs within walking distance and the river walk is right nearby. Would easily go back anytime of year, not just because I'm desperate for a break from my child.

We visited as a family group of five on Saturday 24th February. First visit and most certainly not our last. Service of both food and drinks was first class - many thanks to our food and drinks waiters, all very friendly and helpful. Food was marvellous, with a mix of starters, main course and deserts - thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Great atmosphere here and an evening to remember. As I said, we will certainly return. Thanks to all involved in a lovely evening.

Went for a birthday meal with my wife. We enjoy fine dining and this seemed to fit the bill. Ambiance was just right, service was friendly but not intrusive and the food was some of the best we have had anywhere. There's a lot of competition in Usk but this place stands out as way better that the rest.

We booked for a Christmas get together with friends and it absolutely did not disappoint. Atmousphere, decor was perfect. I ordered scallops to start they were perfect and fillet steak, again cooked to perfection. My husband and I often eat out and love a steak but I have to say since the Royal closed in Usk years and years ago we have struggled to find a great steak in Usk......but no struggling from now on. Staff were lovely, professional yet friendly on hand for all our requests special mention to Emily as she was waiting on out table and was the perfect host. Fantastic meal will definitely return, thank you.

Wonderful impromptu evening! Excellent welcome from the barman Pete who made us feel so welcome even though we hadn't booked on a Friday evening and they were clearly so busy! They made room for us on a cosy table near the bar and we had a fabulous meal - excellent scallops to start , fillet steak for main with wonderful extra tender stem broccoli and crispy cabbage dishes too! Service and atmosphere was top notch ... will definitely return with friends. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

We stayed overnight here as we'd booked into another local restaurant. In hindsight, we wish wed eaten here! We also stayed overnight. The pub and restaurant area is cosy and modern and the menu looks great. A real plus is the cocktail bar, and Pete, the brilliant cocktail barman. He has a menu of classic cocktails as well as some of his own design, and he's happy to make you anything that's not on the menu too. He's also a very nice guy and made our evening really special. The rooms are beautiful and well designed. They're comfy and modern, and on a VERY cold night, were warm too. The free Welsh cakes were a lovely touch too. Breakfast the following morning was excellent and the staff genuinely couldn't do enough for us. I only live 8 miles away, but we're already planning a return visit!

Kelly, Sian and the team have done a fantastic job creating a classy and fabulous place to eat in Usk. We had the 3 course Sunday Lunch which was traditional food with high end flare. You are getting good quality ingredients, starters such as scallops and rib eye, mains that come with a carrot puree and samphire ( I love salty samphire) and desserts like a sticky toffee pudding that have the deepest, richest, butteriest caramel sauce that feels decadent but not too far from traditional. Certainly you feel a bit more special than a pub Sunday lunch but not that much more expensive. The "facilities" are spotless and smell divine. Can't wait to come back for an evening of steak and cocktails, I hope the log fires are real as that extra bit of warmth will give this gorgeous venue that extra bit of cozy romance for a fabulous night out.

A very warm welcome. Our top floor room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The bathroom had a shower but no bath which for us was fine. Good choice of TV channels including netflix. Wifi Worked well. Parking was easy in large free public car park at rear of hotel. Directions supplied were excellent. My traditional British breakfast was very good as was my wifes vegetarian alternative. The restaurant focusses on steak although there are fish and vegetarian alternatives. My steak was first class and my wife particularly enjoyed her beetroot burger. Tap water was supplied without any fuss and we enjoyed cocktails rather than wine with our meal. The town of Usk was attractive and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. All in all the hotel and the surroundings made for a great weekend away.
