Review of Inn On The Wye 3*

If I was to review the staff only it would be a full on 5 stars as they were great during our visit. However we spent a night in room 6. It was nice although the mattress is not the best but a very nice 4 poster bed. Unfortunatly although the room had been cleaned to a high standard the hand towel had a stain on it that looked like another guest had wiped their fake tan on it. The shower door is temperamental and very worn out, the light in the bath room and the TV did not w…ork and there was mould and slime in the shower cubical. The cubical it’s self is built a long way up off the floor and as there is a rubber mat in the cubical it blocks the plug hole so that does not drain correctly and water leaks onto the step so that gets slippy. There is also only one catch plate on the window in that room so it’s not possible to seal out all the road noise. It’s a shame really because the lovely old building is in a lovely spot but is a bit rough around the edges. The steps from the car park are dangerously narrow and steep. However we had some very nice fresh kippers and eggs for breakfast and there was plenty of nice yoghurt, cereal, toast and orange juice. The evening meal was also nice if a little basic however the grill spoilt the taste of the nice gammon making it smokey and oily tasting. My wife’s white bait was very dark and crispy. The portions size was very good though. We’re certain we were give UHT milk with the breakfast Tea. I think is a shame for the very hardworking staff of this place that the management can not get some professional painting contractors and a good building firm in to sort out the rough bits like the night door hanging off its hinges. This place could be really really special with a bit of love as it’s in a very beautiful part of Herefordshire. I’m not sure just at the moment the £80/night is quite worth it.
