The large secure garden is brilliant for dogs and children and the little bridge to the island (accessed via a gate from the main garden) was fun to explore. Some nice eateries nearby and overall a perfect base to explore the forest, Symonds Yat and the River Wye. We would definitely love to revisit.

Great area to explore. Grounds are brilliant for children and dogs and well maintained. Would have appreciated update on change of bath to P shape, access space was tight and this made it a little difficult to get in as the party was made up of two less mobile people.
