8/10 Very good

The breakfast was really good. We used to have dogs but sadly lost both of them last year, but what we could see with people with the dogs were well catered for. We did feel that even though very clean a bit of updating needed overall, the dining room was lovely(looked new).
Bernadette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed our stay at the Royal Lodge. Dinner was really good. Everything was dog friendly and even she was given a little meal. Felt the rooms could do with a little revamping but were clean and tidy.

Darren, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic accommodation, bar/ restaurant lacking atmosphere. Don’t expect to eat after 8pm. Clean but dated/basic room.
Michael, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Jayne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff and beautiful location.

The location is great. It is right by the river. It has a lovely garden area overlooking the river. It’s also the very end property, so you don’t feel boxed in. You can do a 5 mile circular walk right from the front door. The last part is on the hand pulled ferry. The only real problem was the hardness of the mattress on the bed and the fact that there was no lift. You had to lug your baggage up to your room. I think they could to with a bell boy to help you. Overall we had a good stay, but it could be better with a few changes.
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Quick check in process. Our room was a family triple room on the top floor. Room ok, 1 double and 1 single bed. Limited plug sockets (had to keep swapping and changing from kettle to hairdryer etc) and could do with an extension lead so can use hairdryer infront of mirror! Shower very low down in height (im only 5' 6 and needed to bend down to fit underneath it). Stair way down smelt of cigarette smoke. Breakfast not included in price and very expensive
Vicki, 2-night trip

Great views and access to the River Wye

A pleasant stay in an old hotel situated near the River Wye in Symonds Yat. Lovely walks very close to the hotel and some water sports hire a few minutes walk from the hotel.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An excellent stay

Interesting rambling hotel built into the hillside, resulting in multiple steps up to the bedrooms. Excellent restaurant and friendly and helpful staff. Minor niggles on the plumbing & shower: the cold pipe appear to be bundled with the hot and produces tepid water unless run for a long time - not ideal in a heatwave. The soap dispensers are about head level that make them awkward to operate. A lower location would be better. No basket or shelf in the shower for flannel or own soap or shampoo.
Colin, 4-night trip

Lovely little hideaway

The location was absolutely wonderful and the room we stayed it was lovely. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was very helpful.

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.

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.
