OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Green Dragon Hotel takes pride of place in Broad Street in the centre of Hereford, close to the famous Cathedral and its ancient Mappa Mundi, a short walk from the Old Market shopping centre and other shops, bars and restaurants, and a 15-minute walk from the train station. The Chase Distillery offers a very enjoyable tour and tastings of the brand's assorted gins and vodkas.
By car: around 1 hour 20 minutes from Birmingham, 1 hour 30 minutes from Cardiff and 3 hours 30 minutes from London. There is public parking nearby at £10 per day.
By train: direct trains run to Hereford Station from Birmingham New Street (1 hours 25 minutes) and Manchester Picadilly (2 hours 20 minutes). The hotel is a 10-minute taxi ride or 15-minute walk from the station. Book trains to Hereford.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
This busy, buzzy hotel has undergone a splendid transformation, installing bags of personality in the form of opulent jewel colours, distinctive stripes and strong patterns, warm wood and sparkling glass, brass lights, lamps and artefacts which give it a pleasant, slightly Art Deco, retro feel - we loved it.
THE FACILITIES
The hotel has lively, attentive staff who are keen to please, particularly in reception, which is manned 24 hours a day. There's plenty of room for weddings, celebrations and other private functions.
