Location & Description
With its elegant shuttered Georgian façade, Castle Lodge Hotel lies just one mile west of the noted riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye with its superb connections to the nation's motorway networks. Ross is one of five principal market towns in the beautifully unspoilt county of Herefordshire, and indeed the town is noted as being the birthplace of English tourism, the Rector Dr John Egerton in the late 1700s beginning to encourage his well-heeled friends to take a trip down the River Wye on the ‘Wye Tour'.
The current owners have successfully operated the hotel since 2009, all the while slowly upgrading and improving the accommodation, which now comprises superb ground floor reception areas, together with ten ensuite bedrooms on the two floors above. There is an excellent commercial catering kitchen and generous tarmacadam car parking directly in front of the hotel, which in so many establishments is a problem. Here the parking provision is outstanding.
Lying to the southeast of the grounds is an attractive lawned garden and paved seating area and one is just a short walk away from the glorious River Wye.
Whilst an intending purchaser may well decide to continue operating the hotel in a conventional fashion, we are of the opinion that the nature and location of this beautiful building also lends itself to a wide range of potential future uses, subject of course to any relevant consents being required. Many similar properties are utilised as venues for large family/special occasion gatherings, and with its superb accessibility in a truly beautiful part of England, we feel the property has immense potential in that area. Additionally, there are many other future possible business uses eg. Solicitors, Accountants, Dental or Medical practice etc. To those potentially interested, we strongly recommend a thorough internal inspection.

The Town of Ross-on-Wye
The picturesque town of Ross-on-Wye stands high up on a sandstone promontory overlooking the famous horseshoe bend of the River Wye. With its central stone built Market House the town has for centuries been a crossing point of both east and west, and north and south routes, and the town still has a high number of independent traders with all of the friendliness and familiarity that that involves. Many travel to the area for canoeing, fishing or mountain biking, and wider Herefordshire, with its productive agricultural bounty offers many beautiful walks and a wide range of sports and pastimes. Many are surprised to learn that the total population of Herefordshire is less than 200,000. A beautiful county with wonderful wide open spaces and unspoilt beauty.
