What's nearby

  • This giant 13th-century sandstone abbey stands along the picturesque River Wye. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 the lead roof was sold off and the Abbey lay neglected for 200 years. The Abbey was "rediscovered" in the 18th century and became a haven for artists and poets. Tip: Visit on a weekday in the spring and you may the place all to yourself!

I like staying at the Speech House and this wasn't my first visit. Staff are always friendly and efficient. On this occasion my room had a bit too much of an aroma of wet dog. It was not what I've been used to here. I know it's a dog friendly hotel but this time it felt like the dog was still there with me.

Lots of parking. Breakfast was very good ( I did ask for soya milk but they only had oat milk) other wise lots of choice. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was suitable for a one night stopover, bed very comfortable. We were out in the rooms outside not in the main part. This is an old quaint countryside hotel this is what we wanted and liked. We didn't have an evening meal so can not comment on it. Other wise all in all would recommend.
