Bridstow Guest House

This is the place we have always wanted to stay. It was exceptional in every way. We were welcomed warmly and shown to our wonderful room with its large bay window and superb amenities. The bathroom was large and had as much space for our toiletries as we could wish. The walk in shower was equipped with two showers no less, and there were two hand basins too. We were given detailed recommendations about local places where we could dine, the best of which, Loughpool Kitchen served very good food. Our breakfast was served in an atmospheric music room and was everything we could wish for. We will certainly book to stay again.

We have recently returned from spending 12 nights at the Bridstow guest house. We had a wonderful time staying at the guest house and were treated more like friends than paying guests. We stayed in the English room which has lovely views over the surrounding countryside and Ross on Wye. The house is located in a quiet location and only a short 5 minute car journey into Ross. The breakfasts were excellent with a good choice and I particularly liked the pancakes with yogurt, fruit and maple syrup. The garden view from the breakfast room was a delight. We loved their friendly little dog. Our room was well equipped and spacious. It was a luxury to bathe in the slipper bath after long days of walking. The shower was fantastic. Our only small criticism was that we had assumed there would be a wardrobe in the room, given the room size, and that we were booked for 12 nights. Perhaps this should have been pointed out on booking? (There are several clothes hooks on the wall available for people staying a few nights which would be adequate). Jon and Celia were very helpful in suggesting particular places to visit and walks to undertake. They also suggested restaurants. We particularly liked the Loughpool and No 3 in Ross on Wye. Suggest you book at least a week before you want to go as both are extremely popular and get booked up quickly. It will be worth it as other restaurants in Ross and surrounding area don’t come close - the experience of the ones we visited, anyway. Thank you Jon and Celia you made us feel very welcome and it was very much appreciated.

Celia and Jon were excellent hosts; they made us feel more like friends than paying guest, Jon even offered to take us to the restaurant, which we had booked in Ross-on-Wye, because of the parking there, and said he would have picked us up after our meal as well, how nice is that. The breakfasts were excellent, with plenty of choice; they really set you up for the day. It was a beautiful room, with a large bed, and a very large bathroom. You couldn’t beat the view from the room, we were in the English room looking out across the countryside, we could have just sat there watching the wildlife, and the farmer getting the fields ready, it was so quiet and relaxing. There is good parking, and oh yes, did we mention the breakfasts? There is a lot to do in the area, and places to visit, more than we had time for in our limited stay of four days. We left feeling rested, and sad to leave a lovely house and a lovely couple (and their friendly dog). Recommended? you bet, will we be back? you bet (if Jon and Celia would have us that is 😄)

We stayed at this lovely B&B for three nights and from the moment we arrived were made to feel so welcome by John and Celia. Our room and en-suite bathroom were extremely clean and comfortable with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. Celia’s breakfasts were delicious, varied and of high quality. Thank you both for your hospitality. We would not hesitate to recommend this gorgeous accommodation.

Celia and John made us feel very welcome. Beautiful room, huge bathroom, good views, easy parking. Excellent breakfasts with plenty of choice. Lots to do in area. We left feeling rested. Recommended

We stayed for a week and appreciated everything. The location was ideal for our holiday, rural and peaceful, with easy access by car to nearby Ross-on-Wye and for visits to places of interest in the area. Celia and Jon are superb hosts and made us most welcome. Our room, the English Room, provided everything one could possibly want; spotlessly clean, a most comfortable bed, well appointed en-suite, a fridge stocked each day with water and fresh milk and a sitting area with views across fields. Breakfast choices, which we selected and sent by text each evening, were great. We thoroughly enjoyed carefully prepared fruit salads and a variety of cooked dishes whilst relaxing in the dining room overlooking the garden. In the evenings we ate at several nearby places recommended by Celia and Jon and particularly liked the Loughpool restaurant, a couple of miles away in the countryside, (we went there twice) and also the Kings Head in Ross-on-Wye.

Nothing too much trouble for our hosts, absolutely no complaints! Rooms well proportioned, bathroom spacious and shower/bath amazing. Breakfast had so much choice and was perfectly presented . Would definitely return if in this area

We knew that the reviews were great but this is the best place that we have ever stayed.
