Situated in the most picturesque street in the market town of Ross-on-Wye, this 14th century inn maintains many of its original features, including oak beams and a large stone fireplace. A great location for exploring The Wye Valley, Black Mountains, Tintern Abbey and Symonds Yat, the hotel is within a 40 minute drive of Cardiff and Cheltenham. Goodrich Castle, The Forest of Dean and The Welsh Marches are also easily accessible for day trips. Ross-on-Wye itself is a small market town, nestling alongside the meandering River Wye. Its streets and shops are full of character, where you can browse at your leisure. Market days are on Thursdays and Fridays around and under the 16th century Market House. Until the emergence of the railways in the 19th Century, the hotel was a small Coaching Inn and during Georgian times it was extended by a second storey, hence the different facade. The hotel is able to cater for small meetings and functions. The lounge is perfect for relaxing with a pre-dinner drink or just to enjoy reading the newspapers.
