I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was ideal for exploring Ross, with great parking facilities. The rooms were beautiful, but they were quite hot even with the window open. The dining experience was definitely a lovely addition, and the facilities were superb. I would go back if I were visiting the Ross on Wye area again.
