Had Sunday lunch here for my daughter's birthday. The food and service were both excellent. The waiting staff were amongst the best I have every experienced. Young staff, who were professional, attentive without being intrusive. Our waiter, Will, went above and beyond to make the occasion so lovely. Thank you, Will. Highly recommend Castle House.

What a nice hotel. We got a room in a different building with a patio. Breakfast: You choose breakfast from a list and they bring it over. View from the breakfast room was amazing. The breakfast was delicious! Comfy bed Service: was good, however we were directed to a bus and bus stop but once there we realized the bus only goes on Sundays so that meant alot of stress for us trying to find other means to get there.

Really recommend this hotel. Lovely reception area / restaurant, lovely staff, I booked the single room and was so pleasantly surprised! Really great room with large bathroom. Little hamper which is complimentary, Sherry, cold water, restaurant recommendations - just all the attention to detail really makes the difference. Immaculate hotel and in a really lovely part of town. Thank you!

I spent two nights at Castle House in Hereford and had a genuinely lovely stay. My room was beautiful, comfortable, and full of character — a place where you immediately feel at ease. What really stood out was the service: exceptionally friendly, warm, and attentive throughout. Every interaction felt personal and sincere, creating a welcoming atmosphere that carries through the whole house. Breakfast was a real highlight. Everything was delicious, but the avocado bread with perfectly poached eggs and the waffles were especially memorable — easily something to look forward to in the morning. I’m very much looking forward to returning and would like to congratulate the entire team on an extraordinary job, truly well done

My wife and I met friends for lunch on their recommendation and we weren’t disappointed. The location was very pleasant and the food was delicious. As was the bottle of Champagne!! The staff were very friendly and polite and we would definitely like to go back. Can thoroughly recommend!

You're a Condé Nast hotel for a reason...right! We stayed up in the Townhouse a separate building 50 metres away from the main hotel but nonetheless very good. Our room was cosy (which we knew when we booked). If I'm being picky I consider a double bed (we had a small double) could fit in the modest sized space but it was very comfortable all the same. Breakfast in the main building was fabulous. With a view of the castle moat and contemporary garden everything tastes better don't you think! Service was attentive, friendly and faultless. My eggs royale the best I've ever had (and I have the dish regularly). All in all a wonderful stay.

We stayed for one night at Castle House Hotel Hereford for a weekend. The price was very reasonable and they had a small carpark less than a 2 minutes walk from the hotel. It was a narrow and tight entrance, but it was helpful if you wanted to go shopping/site seeing in the town centre. The walk to the main shopping centre is about 15 minutes, there quaint shops to browse whist you walk. The centre has a variety of places to eat, I would recommend booking for some these places especially if it's at the weekend. The staff are very nice and helpful, the room was a nice and spacious it accommodated two people. It was a little cold in the room the radiators were situated in the main sitting area and nine in the bedroom. We had a window view if the front street. There was a choice of breakfast, I had a waffle with yogurt and a caramelised banana with rooibos tea. My husband had two eggs on toast with coffee. Breakfast was nice and the restaurant wasn't busy for breakfast until 9am. We would definitely stay there again.
