Location & Nearby Attractions

The hotel sits on the banks of the River Wye, a 10-minute walk across the bridge to Ross-on-Wye town centre. Wilton Castle is a 2-minute walk away, and the Wye Valley Walk runs directly past the property through woodland. Symonds Yat, a popular rock formation and viewpoint, is a short drive, and the Welsh border is 20 minutes away by car.

Dining & Breakfast

A full English breakfast made with fresh local produce is served in the ground-floor conservatory dining room overlooking the river and garden. Guests order the night before from a menu that includes options such as eggs Benedict, shakshouka (the 'Bridge House Special'), and smoked salmon on a muffin. Gluten-free and lactose-intolerant diets are catered for with advance notice.

Activities & Outdoor Pursuits

The hotel grounds serve as a launch site for hot air balloons, a rare facility that guests can arrange to use. On-site activities include canoeing, fishing, and cycling, with direct access to the River Wye for launching. The large garden provides outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, and a peaceful setting for relaxing after walking the Wye Valley Walk.
