Glewstone Court Country House

We stayed here on a Secret Escapes break in December. The hotel was lovely, very warm and friendly. The staff were extremely helpful, our room was comfortable and the food in the restaurant was fabulous. This must be one of the best hotels that we have stayed in! More...

I just want to say a HUGE thank You for making our Wedding Day! I could not recommend Glewstone Court enough! Myself and Claire had our wedding reception here and I couldn’t possibly say enough to compliment their service! From the pre wedding prep and consultations with Amy to the treatment we received on the day with Sam and the rest of the staff everything was perfect. No request is too much to ask and everything runs so smoothly. The staff will make you feel like you are the only bride and groom they have ever had. We couldn't have asked for any more and the day was faultless, everything was how I imagined it and more and I couldn't get over how beautiful every room was. We have had so many people praise the food and all the staff too. Nothing was too much trouble. I could not give enough compliments. If you are considering getting married in Herefordshire you won’t regret booking Glewstone Court, it really was the best day of our lives. More...

An amazing hotel which combined with the staff created a perfect weekend. I had chosen to stay at Glewstone Court Hotel to propose to my now fiancee and from the moment I contacted the hotel they could not have done more to make the whole weekend run seamlessly. ||||The room that we stayed in was beautiful (Gainsborough Suite), and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying in the Hotel. The restaurant and food were exceptional and was complemented by the luxurious dining area. The wine pairings with dinner were spot on, and I would recommend it for anyone trying the taster menu.||||The service I experienced from booking the hotel to leaving on the Sunday was fantastic. Gary and his team always went that one step further to make our stay better, and there is nothing more they could have done to improve the stay. They were terrific from start to finish. ||||Overall this was a truly fantastic hotel and I cannot wait to return again. More...

Myself and wife stayed for one night, a birthday treat, in the Gainsborough Suite with the six course tasting menu included. ||||The food and service was of the highest standard, all the staff we encountered were happy and smiling and super friendly.||We opted out of the six course accompanying wine option and made our choices from the small but perfectly adequate main wine list. Prices were reasonable and quality of the glasses we chose were excellent. My first try at Romanian wine, really enjoyed it !||Bar prices were also reasonable, pint of San Miguel was less than a pound dearer than my golf club. ||||The suite was extremely large and well appointed, clean, and had the comfiest biggest bed we have ever slept in anywhere on our travels.||The breakfast the following morning was cooked to order and very, very good !!||||It was a long drive for a one night stay but well worth it, it was a lovely experience. Next time we visit will be for two or more nights.|||||| More...

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely (all too brief stay) at Glewstone Court. We were there as it was close to Oldfield Forge, where we had a 'Forge experience afternoon'. Our room (Gainsborough Suite) was huge and very comfortable, with nice touches such as a Nespresso machine, homemade biscuits etc. In the evening, we enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu with paired wines - Sam the hotel manager was really friendly, and extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines he was serving. Food was great, fine dining without the pretentiousness of a Michelin starred establishment. All in all, a lovely stay in a lovely hotel - would highly recommend! More...

An absolute gem, hidden in the countryside near Ross on Wye. You have to go there & experience the way all hotels should be run. You will be treated as a customer, not just a commodity as this is a family business with great staff who give you personal attention. Special thanks to Sam & his team, on our way home we both agreed.....you have spoilt us for most other places !|A warm welcome on arrival, a lovely room ( Byron), warm with a very comfy bed. Great views out over the surrounding country. All the meals were beautifully prepared & presented. Large lounge with a log fire for cold autumn days. Best of all we felt we had arrived at somewhere to relax after a horrible journey in the rain & heavy traffic from South Wales.| More...

We have dined at Glewstone many times over the last 8 years as it is 1 mile from my In-laws. So over 2 owners and numerous chefs. ||Last night was our first visit with the new chef team. It was excellent. We had the 4 course taster menu. The standout dishes were the scallops on a mini risotto and the strawberry souffle but these were pipped by the squid ink macaroon with salmon mouse filling canapé - so tasty and delightfully chewy as any macaroon must be. ||Sam leads a very good front of house team to ensure a great experience.

Staying nearby for a short break we were keen to celebrate a birthday and liked the look of the reviews for Glewstone Court. Having two young dogs with us, we asked Glewstone if could accommodate them which wasn't a problem, only we would be seated in the living room and not the dining room, which was completely understandable. In the end we didn't need to take the dogs into the hotel (they were clapped out!) but all the same, we sat at the table which had been made up for us in the bay window of the living room with a roaring fire crackling away in the grate. And what an evening! We were three adults dining on the tasting menu with wine paring. From our first champagne cocktails (with canapes, the squid ink macaroons are to die for) to the petit fours we could't fault the food, prepared with imagination and style and matched with superb (and generous) glasses of wine. Glewstone has the most charming host, Sam, who could not having been more welcoming and knowledgable about the wines we tasted that evening. Thank you for making our evening so memorable....we'll be back! More...

I took my wife here for our anniversary en route to Pembrokeshire for a walking holiday. What a wonderful treat it was at Glewstone Court. We instantly felt welcome with the greeting extended to us on arrival by Sam the hotel manager. He wished us a happy anniversary as did every other member of the team that we encountered. We were equally delighted when we sat down for dinner and found a card for us. Everything was very special and clearly all of the staff are trained in service, our stay couldn't have been better. The food was absolutely delicious, I had, to start, a scallop served on a white wine risotto with sea herbs and my wife cheese souffle. The rest of the meal was equally delicious but we were especially pleased as my wife's halibut that should have been served with a bisque that she cannot eat arrived instead with a white wine sauce. Wonderful attention to detail throughout and we cannot praise the staff highly enough. The hotel is beautiful and our room was charming and comfortable. Will certainly return and recommend for others. More...

We fancied a couple of nights away and following some research found Glewstone Court. The Hotel is just off the A40 between Monmouth and Ross on Wye situated in a small Hamlet.

Lovely old house in beautiful setting. You need SatNav to find it but that guarantees peace and tranquility. Sam's welcome is warm and friendly, as are all the staff which makes for a lovely atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble. The public areas are comfortable and there is a secluded terrace for drinks as well as the bar.||Rooms are adequate but in need of a lick of paint, etc. Beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet so a good night's sleep is guaranteed. There is a fridge on the landing with small bottles of fresh milk for teas/coffees in your room.||Food is all locally sourced with home-made breads, preserves, yogurt, etc. Breakfast is all fresh cooked to order so no leathery bacon or hard, rubbery eggs to contend with. The cooking is excellent. However, breakfast choice is limited with no continental-style deli meats or cheeses and no pieces of fruit, although there is always a fresh fruit salad.||Dinner was cooked to perfection - we had halibut which can easily be dry and chewy but was succulent and juicy. Every element of dinner was perfectly cooked but, for us, lacked a little on flavour and was rather bland tasting. A little more seasoning would have helped. We waited 30mins for our dessert order which was too long. ||These are small quibbles but overall Sam and his team do a great job and Glewstone is a great place to spend a few days. More...
