Comfortable if somewhat dated bedrooms, excellent continental breakfast, good snack lunch in tidy gardens, did not have dinner so cannot comment. Al staff we dealt with were helpful and efficient. Atmosphere slightly dampened by number of notices, warnings and other signs. brilliant location.

Accomodation was very good as we had a double aspect room (No.9) although on the top floor, with no lift, it was worth it for the views of the river Bed very comfortable with lovely white fresh linen. Bathroom down a small corridor. Tea/coffee & bottled water every day. Full English Breakfast was huge and you could alter to what you wanted off a very comprehensive menu. If you preferred Continental Breakfast there was a good assortment available and the best toasting machine I have experienced.

Evening Meals - not a large menu to choose from with two Vegan dishes available. Once again food excellent. All the Staff were always very polite and courteous and nothing was too much for them. Would I go to The Royal Lodge again - most definitely.

My marks are mostly for the location. The downstairs part of the hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely. Our room was for two nights. On the surface it was clean. The window blinds were broken and didn't close. The curtains were dirty so we're the windows. Bathroom small but functional. The bed was very hard. We had a dog room as our little dog went with us. Not disabled friendly all rooms are upstairs no lift. The location was stunning, if you are going for a day take food with you. Only two hotels to buy food from. No shop, although if you go up That rock there's a fantastic cafe at the top.

I'm a grandmother of 9, volunteered with some of the world's most vulnerable people and have always found kindness and respect. Not so in this beautiful part of our country Because my meal came without the vegetables as per menu I politely asked if I could have them or an alternative. I was appalled when the manager stormed over grabbed our plates and kicked us out, banning us from both hotels and the car parks!

He said we had complained before but all I could think of was before Christmas I booked the Saracen's Head for lunch and was ensured there were plenty vegan options. I'm severely allergic to eggs and dairy. They refused to make something for me so we went on to the Royal Lodge where we had a lovely meal and complimented them. So the manager wouldn't let me speak, shouted over me in a crowded restaurant and sent a security guard to escort us out of the car park.

I felt bullied, humiliated and disempowered. It seems from other reviews this is how he behaves. I've given one star only because if the lovely meal we had before Christmas. Fortunately we were the only ones in the restaurant and he wasn't there!,

Despite being under staff due to covid we where superbly looked after. The food was fantastic and the service was great. We have stayed here in the past and always had a great time. Many thanks to all the staff.

Lovely guest house at the end of a rural lane right in the banks of the River Wye. Although our room was a little dated on the decor front, it had a view over the river and a large en suite with a bath and shower over. All the staff were extremely polite and welcoming. Breakfast is a choice of continental or cooked with the menu provided to make your choices the night before. The evening meals in the restaurant were fabulous.

The Royal Lodge is ideally situated for walks along the river and beyond. It's well worth the walk up to Symonds Yat Rock to see the wonderful views. All in all a great stay in a beautiful part of the country. We would definitely recommend a visit.

The venue was stunning and staff friendly. However the evening meals were very poor. I understand the menu was limited because of staffing issues but the quality of the food should still have met the rating advertised by he lodge. In addition, given the location, I was suprised to be charged 7.00 a night to park the car. This is a big additional cost which wasn't prominently advertised prior to the booking.
