Trees all around.A hand ferry between us (East) & other shore (West), centuries old & manned by the charming male staff of the inn.From the... More

The table was dirty and no one attempted to clean it so we did it ourselves putting the glasses etc on the bar which received strange looks from the bar staff.Ordered our food and waited... More

Just one night but we shall certainly return. Excellent river view room, looking over the ferry to Symond's Yat West. Decent size shower for once and good sized bedroom with comfortable bed. Meals were outstanding and service first class; a real sense that people wanted you to enjoy all aspects of the stay. Food highlights included lamb three ways, plaice... More

We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in April and had a fantastic time! The location is breathtaking, right next to the river with views around the valley. Our room was compact but comfortable, with crisp white linen and fluffy towels. Everything was very fresh and clean. As our room was over the main part of the pub,... More

It's an old building so as you could imagine the rooms are quite small, but we had a view of the river, and the bed was comfortable. The shower room was Okay-... More
