The hotel is situated at ROsS￿n-Wye in the beautiful Wye Valley,. a wpulaTtOUri5t area, in a particul8dy pic¢uresque spot in the town overboking the horseshoe bend of the River Wye. The commanding srtuation means that even guests with limited mobility are abl8 to enjoy the lovety views of the H6r6foTdshiro countrysirJ& from the hotel sun lounge or it5 gardens.
