Decent hotel / restaurant Monmouth area?

[gareth h]

Any advice, it’s my wife’s big birthday coming up and we’d like to meet the kids halfway between us in Pembrokeshire, and them in London, so Monmouth area fits the bill, ideally a restaurant within walking distance of a decent hotel.
Any recommendations?
TIA

I just spent Easter at the Royal George in Tintern. Nice place, very helpful staff, comfortable rooms. Pub food at front, restaurant at the back, pizza oven in the garden. Also a cafe/coffee shop on site.

Pub food was good with large portions. 2-3 cask ales. The restaurant is not fine dining, but good quality, well cooked, and reasonably priced for these days. Pizza was not as good as I'd hoped it would be for a wood-fired outdoor oven, but it was the first weekend they'd opened it for the season so maybe they'll get the hang of it.

Nice area, good walking and plenty to do.

Another vote for the royal George In tintern, great Sunday roast ( ate there for Easter) loads to do in tintern walk wise, rooms look good, it s really been taken upmarket

The whitebrook near by is excellent if you want taster menu Michelin stuff and they have rooms

Stone rock lodge in Chepstow if you want cheap and cheerful and one
Of the best pizzas around

There s always the Celtic manor if you want some
Chintz, spa, bars, golf etc or the newbridge on usk for refined pub rooms, or they also have the ty Newport and coldra court hotels near by

The priory in caerleon is excellent, rooms, Spanish inspired food with a meat age thing, fish, bodega, in the Roman town so a good couple of things to see,there s also a excellent sushi place in Carleon


Monmouth itself is mostly b&bs but don t miss a flat white in Coffilab or a pastry from Alex gooch


Wouldn’t rule out Cardiff either, st David’s in the bay or the Parkgate by the millennium stadium, pictons in the bay for food or pasture in the city centre for excellent steak and Sunday roast

We weren't especially impressed with the food (dinner) and some friends who ate there at about the same time said similar. The rooms are expensive, small and very basic. The claimed to have run out of the wine I ordered and offered an alternative which turned out to be around twice the price of the one chosen without revealing the price at the time. They also add a fairly chunky service charge onto your bill, which they did remove when I asked.

Neither of us would go again. Contrast this with other one Michelin star restaurants where we've been planning our return visit before we'd got half way through the meal.
