This is the second time we have. Stayed at Somerville in two years. The room we stayed in this time was a little smaller but just as nice. Lots of stairs but there is always help with bags. We arrived late but had a warm welcome. Good off street parking ands great bed. Breakfast was delightful and filling. Would stay... More

Stayed for one night. Very warm welcome and shown to my room. Communal lounge was roomy with lots of info around. My room was very well appointed indeed with robe, slippers, VG tea and coffee tray - minibar available. A big effort to present the room well. The reason this is not 5 stars is that the room was rather... More

Stayed here for 1 night, had a lovely room overlooking the garden. Room was very big, had everything you could need, tv, tea/coffee, toiletries, minibar. Even got given a bottle of fresh milk for making tea! Breakfast was great as well. About a 10 minute walk into town and has free parking. If you are staying in Hereford, you should... More

Beautiful, spacious B&B with incredibly friendly staff and personalized service. The landlady, Rosie, upgraded our room when she saw how tall one of us was (he's very tall and she was concerned he'd be cramped in a room with lower ceilings), then pulled out a map and showed us where all the local points of interest were. Morning breakfasts were... More

Top quality hotel.........excellent friendly service and breakfast. Lovely comfortable superior room (5) with good view of the Cathedral. 10 minute walk to the river/Cathedral. Mappa Mundi very interesting and the Cider museum is well worth a visit.

By boyfriend and I stayed one night here on our way up to North Wales. The lady gave us a very warm welcome, the decor was very tasteful, the bed was very comfortable, the shower had a decent amount of power - all good - but it was the breakfast that was most impressive! Their emphasis is on organic and... More

We chose to stay here for our first visit to Hereford, the Mrs and I, for one night after looking on tripadvisor and reading the rave reviews. We also had some good experience recently with smart B&B's as an alternative to hotels, so thought we'd try this one. Our room, apparently the best in the hotel, had a lovely view... More
