"We could gush about the house, garden and setting all day but it was the incredible hospitality and warmth from all the staff that made it feel quite so special."

Of course you can. Although we don't have family rooms we can put camp beds or cots in some of our larger rooms. One or two rooms have sofa beds in as well. There is a charge for camp beds (£23 for B&B) but no charge for cots.
We don't have inter-connecting rooms but we are very used to fitting in children so that they are as close to you as you might wish. Could be just across the corridor or on another floor, it's up to you.
If you don't want your children to join you for dinner we can arrange a high tea for them before you eat. We have a selection of children's DVDs and we also receive the children's BBC channel (CBBC) on our television system.

The hotel's bedrooms are equipped for baby listening through the telephone system.

The simple answer is no. We tried and the tackle soon got broken, lost and tangled. If you hire a ghillie he should be able to lend you tackle.

We do stock some local flies and things like leader and flotant.

We don't have a spa, if you are feeling hardy you are more than welcome to have a swim in the river, plenty of people do.

Yes, we have a very sturdy and simple to use hub geared tandem that we would be delighted to let you loose on to explore the country side. We have a couple of bike helmets for you to borrow if you wish and can advise you on routes as well.

There are several short circular walks up to about 5 miles from the hotel and if you wish to access the Beacons or the Black Mountains it would take about 40 minutes from the hotel.

On the other hand a 5 - 10 minute car journey will get you right to the start of several fantastic mountain walks.

Our meat is very local and comes from surrounding farms. Fruit and veg is more difficult to source locally in any quantity, we have now begun to grow a lot of herbs and salads on site and we can get good soft fruits when in season.

If we can't buy it locally we will at least use local suppliers.
