This is a very characterful property. The staff and service were excellent. The town of USK is small but very pretty with lots of dining options and only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Generally an excellent location for exploring Monmouthshire.

Character
Old fasioned mainly in a good way, but certain aspects could do with some modernisation. Staff were friendly, breakfast was cooked to order (although it was fairly average). Everything very clean. Shower over bath was OK but the bed was far to soft for my preference. For the cost I feel it's a 3 star rather than 4. Could offer better room drinks and a gym maybe. I'd stay again but you can get a lot more facilities at other places for less spend.

Nice hotel stay spoilt by loud disco music
Nice hotel, lovely staff but a wedding each day of our 2-day stay, with a loud disco each evening. The music stopped at midnight, but as early risers this was way past our normal sleep time. Little sleep the first night, slightly more the second night when we were given a room at the other end of the hotel (though the music was still vibrating through the bed). We would be wary of staying there again in case there was another wedding.
