Excellent meal and service for Sunday lunch today, bright and spacious dining room. One member of the party was coeliac who was well catered for and everything was checked, even down to apologising for being unable to provide a biscuit with the pot of tea. Carol the waitress was very attentive, positive and helpful. She was also hilarious and clearly a kind person who just wanted us to have an enjoyable meal. Thanks carol.

We stayed at The Royal for four days this September with our grown up children. The hotel provides friendly and warm service and it was a good base to explore the area. I wanted to particularly mention the exceptional service we received from Carol during our breakfasts. She was a credit to the Company, positive cheerful and efficient. Carol was a massive hit with our dog Barnie - he sends you many slobbery kisses as a thank you for the sausages!!!

Just home from yet another great evening out at The Royal. The service is always excellent and tonight we were lucky to be looked after brilliantly by Sophie. Bank holiday weekend and the place was heaving, but our order was taken quickly and the food and drinks arrived almost “by return”. All of the food was spot on, my steak was cooked perfectly. The whole team work hard under a lot of pressure to keep their customers happy - it’s much appreciated, thank you.

We would highly recommend a stay here, we visited based on a recommendation from a colleague, definitely worth a visit. The staff are very accommodating and friendly and down to earth. We ate a few times at the restaurant and met some lovely people. The food was delicious, I'd recommend the see bass risotto, salmon (light bites), soup and the steak pie. You must have a breakfast too, you get to meet Carol, she is adorable. All of the staff though are so lovely and kind. Excellent facilities, the room was really lovely, the bed was sooooo comfortable! Room service was very considerate with supplies. Clean, comfortable and such vast countryside views from the river view rooms. We will definitely be returning there soon.

This hotel is wonderful. The double room was spacious and had glorious views across fields to the river and countryside. It was immaculately clean which I so much appreciated. It is right in Ross and yet so quiet and peaceful, I sat at my window and watched the swifts and listened to birdsong. I'm only sorry I could only stay one night. My son had a twin-bed room equally charming and clean and with these lovely open views. As for Carol..well, you will never meet a warmer, friendlier, efficient member of staff and her initial welcome after a long drive was the start of this special stay! She even offered to walk me to my room and to help with my bags. We had a superb evening meal in the spacious dining room surrounded by other people clearly enjoying the hospitality..maybe the Rowing Club?..the atmosphere was calm and cheerful. Very efficient young waitresses. The breakfast was excellent. Amazing choice and delicious poached eggs and salmon. And Carol worked that room as if she was dealing with family...so efficient, so kind, so very helpful. I will tell everyone about The Royal. I had the most special stay and want to thank you all.

We stayed for 2 nights with a family party of x8 and the booking included breakfast. Staff were really helpful and the hotel was clean with excellent room views overlooking the river Wye. However breakfast was fantastic with such a huge choice of cereal, continental and full cooked. Carole (lovely Welsh lady) looked after us every morning in the dinning room but what impressed me was how extremely kind and understanding she was towards our 89 & 90 yr old parents. She was patient with one who has dementia and just came across as warm, kind, extremely polite and very professional. The whole experience was very relaxed and made our trip. I’d stay again. Many thanks to all the team.

We stayed here for 2 days with a large family group. At one meal they delivered main courses at different times, by over half an hour. A pizza for a 5-yr-old took nearly 1 hr to arrive. When asking about something to clarify, we were abruptly told "we've told you before". At no point did they apologise to us for this service. Rooms were ok, aa bit dated. We could hear the other guests bathrooms - unpleasant.

I really enjoy the atmosphere, food and alcohol in this venue and I visit it reasonably frequently, but tonight I was very disappointed I came in for a bottle of wine and was met with a very sour faced barmaid who was argumentative, and called last orders at 2120 by very aggressively ringing a bell that almost deafened me, and turned the heads of everyone in the bar area, I think some retraining may be required as it caused us and at least one other customer I noticed to swiftly leave the premises. Very disappointed tonight, Unfortunate for such a usually lovely establishment.

Great place to view the scenery, especially if the weathers good . The views are five stars, as were the staff on the day. Mushroom Soup was good, as was the Salmon and Pate, although too much butter and not enough Pate…but still nice. Scampi was poor as were the chips. Real chips would be better. Wine list is limited and nothing under £20 a bottle. So the food is “average”, as is the wine selection. It’s not the kitchens fault, Greenhalls have chosen low quality, high margin provisions in some cases I.e. the chips and the Scampi. Having said that, their “hero” dish, the steak pie, is good. Regarding the staff, ADINA was a star, very polite and naturally helpful. Indeed all the staff were polite, busy and helpful, clearing tables, fetching ice, very alert and nice. So food 2/3 stars, views and people 5 stars!

We had a lovely weekend here for Easter. The hotel location is superb, it’s in the town and walkable to everywhere and has beautiful views of the river Wye. The hotel is cosy and comfortable and kept very clean. We put a ssshh sign on our door and the housekeeping team left a bag of clean towels, toilet rolls and beverages refill out side the door which was really thoughtful. The most outstanding thing for us was the breakfast each morning- the menu is extensive and everything is freshly cooked with top class produce used, we would have had it for lunch and dinner as well if we could! The breakfast team, especially Sally and Carol were a pure delight every morning- they go above and beyond with every single guest and their cheeriness is contagious! We loved it here and have recommended it to friends and family.

Nothing was too much trouble, I am recovering from knee surgery and our room was on the top floor. When I explained we were moved to a more accessible room. Thank you for that it meant a lot. All the staff were very polite and friendly. The food was great and the whole trip was great value for money. The views are fab and you are right in the middle of town.

We stayed nearby for the weekend and went to the Royal for a drink while walking the dog. We then went back two days later for Sunday dinner and my son joined us as it was his birthday. This is also the first time we have visited with the dog and were a bit apprehensive how he would be. The staff were great as was the food. Free doggy treats were available and also reasonably priced doggy ice-cream. We will be back.

Usually The Royal doesn’t disappoint, although this time it wasn’t a good experience. The restaurant was empty, yet service was slow, felt like we had been forgotten about, what should’ve been an hour outing took almost 3. My starter was “salt and pepper Squid” which was unseasoned, overly greasy and didn’t even come with a lemon wedge to pour over it, the squid was tough, stringy and hadn’t been properly skinned, normally I love the squid from The Royal, this time not so much! Other than that, it was a decent meal for the four of us. Just a shame it wasn’t the usual quality. This is something I could understand during the rush but not 5:00.

Ok so a mixed review. My friends came to visit for the weekend with their two children, and stayed in a b&b very close by. We had food both evenings. Service and greetings were great from all staff, however particularly Giles. His excellent service and interaction with the kids made Saturday such a lovely experience for them, so much so that when we returned on the Sunday for food they immediately asked if he was working. So why the 4 stars? Simply no roasts available at all on the Sunday (we were booked for 5pm), the food we got on the Sunday wasn't to the same standard as the Saturday, and a policy which doesn't allow the staff to be tipped for their excellent service. Bearing in mind the staff work in the SERVICE industry and exceeded expectations on that part I found it baffling and actually awkward at having a tip refused due to policy.

It's central position and car park make it a great base for exploring the area. Good choice of breakfast options, all beautifully cooked and presented.

The venue although well ages is characterful and charming, with a coal fire place and the typical high ceilings and timber finished bar and decor. The menu is simple and we had a started each and main course. The food portions were fabulous and the taste and quality was excellent. Attentive staff and a great price. The hotel rooms were clean, comfortable and warm but in my opinion could benefit from a refurbishment but there are most definitely fit for purpose and depending what elevation you get some rooms have a great view. Breakfast exceeded expectations with a great continental and cooked selection, all with high quality ingredients and served by staff who genuinely want you to enjoy your experience.

Fancied a pub lunch and we were in the area so plumped for the Royal especially as it is dog friendly. As it was a lovely day we sat outside with a view of the river Wye. The staff were very friendly and we ordered...

So disappointing - stated they are fully booked yet the place was empty. They do this often. Glasses hadn’t been collected for hours. Place could be wonderful and thriving and a real hub, but it’s not.

We pre-booked and were offered drinks on our arrival. Very pleasant staff who served us with a smile. I chose the Horseshoe Gammon and Poppy went for the Moo & Blue (steak and stilton pie). Food took about 40 minutes from order to delivery but we were in no rush. Both meals were wonderful with Poppy saying that it was the best pie she had ever eaten in a pub setting. Without a doubt we will be back.

Absolutely superb fish and chips (gluten free). Light crispy cider batter and crisp chunky chips with garden peas and generous portions. The food was freshly prepared and piping hot. The chef checked that we were enjoying the food. Definitely check out this pub as it has recently changed ownership. Good selection of beers if that is your thing. Also noteworthy is that we ate around 5pm - many pubs aren't serving food at that time on a weekday.

Rude, extremely disappointing, shocking and disrespectful staff! We arrived after making a booking the day before. I booked 2 Adults, 1 child aged 2. The booking itself was pleasant. We got slightly lost, rang in and again very pleasant. Arrived 7 minutes late and walked into a very ‘local’ pub feel. All eyes on us. We were told by the bar person that they were glad we found them. A woman appeared and looked at my Grandson and commented ‘we don’t have highchairs’ I commented that I’d booked ahead with a child on the booking? She said she would go down in the cellar and dust something suitable to bring up then asked me if I had a chair in my car???!!!! We approached the bar and I said I was confused as I’d booked a child ahead of coming. I was ignored, I said once again and the younger woman behind the bar looked at me and in a slightly raised voice utttered ‘well, yes she’s gone to get you something hasn’t she!!’ Based on this experience I told my Friend we were leaving as being treated like this was way beyond acceptable. I wasn’t happy and I let it be known! My Friend and I were left shocked and felt we had been treated appallingly by 2 extremely rude women. Whilst we were putting my Grandson in the car the older women came out and further patronised us with her offering of a dusted off cellar chair and we told her that her colleague was vile and it had gone beyond the chair. She walked off. Having read through the reviews I can see hands have changed and so this may be why I didn’t receive the reputation I had heard of. I have the feeling they felt they were above us! I’m not easily impressed so their Morgan cars and gold large Baroque chairs only further deepens my suspicions that they think they’re better 🤣🤣

Beautiful scenic spot, absolutely stunning. Dog friendly. Food was amazing and atmosphere good too. Boat was running as water was too high but didn’t matter to us!

Only went in for a Latte - great flavour/strength. I have to write 100 characters but only went in for a coffee!
