The Yew Tree at Longhope

Really great find. All of the staff (from the bar staff to waiters/ waitresses and owners) were absolutely lovely - very friendly, polite and attentive. We stayed in a family room (room 8) which was good - really comfy beds and great to have actual beds for the kids, rather than the usual sofa/ pull out beds. Food was homemade and really delicious with fantastic portion sizes. They also had my favourite on tap (Korev). Where other hotels and restaurants are cutting corners to save money, the Yew Tree add the finishing touches and hire lovely staff which made our visit memorable. Thank you - we will hopefully be back and have time to sample the Sunday roast next time :)

We had high expectations. My husband had researched for some time (as he does) and asked locals on Facebook groups for the best place for a Sunday roast dinner whilst we were on holiday in the Forest Of Dean. The Yew Tree was the pub chosen. We drove 30 minutes from our holiday cottage. On arrival the juke box had heavy metal music on with heavy base... not the best ambiance for a country pub roast dinner. I did ask abd they changed it. Staff weren't the most welcoming. They were busy though. Drinks wise, I asked for coke. The response was is Pepsi OK? I said yes but witnessed my drink being poured out of a 2L plastic bottle. Disappointing. They'd run out of ice. My drink was room temp and not that fizzy. Food wise there wasn't a starter option. We ordered roast dinners, i had one meat (Pork) and the hubby had two meats (pork & chicken). There wasn't any mash potato which is what I love most on my roast. Delicious roast potatoes, which we'd ordered extra of. Mixed medly of veg. Tasty gravy albeit a tad watery for our liking. Plenty of meat. The pigs in blankets were served in a dish, half sausages & bacon with maple syrup. Delicious. The desserts looked divine but we were too full.

What a fantastic place to visit. Hardworking happy staff, making your stay memorable. Food is outstanding quality, well presented and expertly cooked. We stayed in a courtyard room, very clean, tidy and comfortable. Breakfast is perfect for getting ready for the day. The motto of this place is 'arrive as guests, leave as family'. Definitely will visit again.

Most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had in a b&b with broken noisy springs No WiFi details in room and no contact number for assistance or info book Dark unlit courtyard and unclear entrance from car park , not ideal if unsteady on feet Bedding and bathroom both clean but lots of surface dust . Definitely won’t return
