"Great atmospheric Castle you can stay in. Simple yha. Nearby pub which is a simple friendly affair."
"At nearly 1,000 years old it’s amazing how much of this castle is still standing. In fact some of it is actually habitable and used by the YHA. Would have loved to have stayed here! A gem for castle lovers of all sorts, tucked away in the Forest of Dean it’s very easy to overlook but it’s well worth stopping by, not least to see Saint Briavels village and do not miss a meal at the George Inn while you are there."
"We only saw the communal areas and they were lively, the Chapel was a hidden gem and the banquet Hall had a beautiful Old fire place. Worth the walk from Tintern Abbey."
"Absolutely fantastic and very unusual location for a weekend birthday event. Very comfortable beds, good kitchen and a number of areas for dining and lounging. Showers are good and for an ancient building it's remarkably warm. Parking right outside and easy to access. Grounds are currently undergoing some renovations as a wall collapsed about a year ago but they're all over it. Recommended."
