This is a fantastic local pub with great food. It keeps improving year on year. Very welcoming to locals and visitors. The staff are spot on and very doggy friendly. The team have made a huge effort to make this country pub something special. Great grounds and a doggy paddock for the summer and a winter ski lodge with Oktoberfest running from October well until the new year. Well worth a visit or 2 or 3.

After eating here for a recent family Birthday, had been looking forward to Easter Lunch. When shown to our table we were quite concerned that for a party of five the table was a small round bar table that felt very cramped. After asking to move we were told we could indeed have another table but had a 1.5 hour time limit, this would have been fine had it not taken half hour after arrival to take our order. The whole experience was very rushed, when trying to explain staff appeared rude and extremely defensive advising others had not complained and as it was Easter tables were limited, again fine but we had booked over a month ago. We were eventually moved outside to have desert due to another party arriving for our table, 3 tables later and a most uncomfortable dinning experience we will not be returning. Staff could do with some additional training on how to handle customer feedback. Starters and puddings were average but the Sunday lunch was good, however the dinning experience was sadly poor.

We have just returned from a stay at the Grey Hound Inn. I would highly recommend a stay and meal here. The pub and gardens are exquisite, the sun terraces are beautiful, one south facing and one slightly out of direct sunlight, so alfresco dining to suit everyone. The pub was extremely clean and well presented full of rustic charm. You can see the owners and staff work hard keeping the pub and hotel looking and running so well. The pub has dog friendly sections and a secure dog paddock. The food was beautiful we sampled the tapas and sangria yesterday and the sunday roast today, the cauliflowercheese is a must. The food was of a very high quality looked and tasted amazing and despite being very busy, there were no delays on food being served and tables being cleared. Our room was spotless with a stunning view, the power shower was very refreshing in this heat, the beds are very comfortable. We loved the little touches too, beautiful welsh cakes waiting for you at check in and lically produced mugs for your morning cuppa were lovely. You must visit the cwtch too, theit lovely gift shop with lically sourced gifts, i had a beautiful tapas board. Lastly the staff, what a team so efficient and hard working and extremely friendly, we were very impressed at how well organised the service was and how well they worked as team. We've already booked our next stay. You will not be disappointed if you stay or dine here. My photos probably dont do it the justice it deserves.

On a lovely sunny day decided to go to the Greyhound for llunch. With lockdowns we had not been to the Greyhound for a couple of years. The patio is really well done and blends well with the pub. We were shown to a table and ordered drinks which were delivered quickly. We were given the menus by a lovely waitress, Carys ?, who was very efficient. The meals arrived after an acceptable time, The cod was in a lovely crispy batter and not overcooked. The gammon was really good and tasty and a very generous portion. The food hot and tasty and really good pub food. The toilet facilities were good. We will not leave it as long to visit again as the Greyhound is a perfect setting for a great pub lunch. Despite being very busy the service was eccellent

We stayed at the Inn for two nights and enjoyed exemplary hospitality, attentive polite staff with great quality food, beer and cider. The menu provides a good choice of locally sourced fare which is well prepared and served with a smile as always. I highly recommend this establishment for its quality of food and friendly staff.

Had a lovely welcoming reception from staff. Sat in the beautiful garden for afternoon drinks. Great atmosphere. Seats well spaced out and we had table service. We have been in isolation for months so we're a bit nervous but Freja, our waitress could not have been more friendly and quickly put us at ease. She wore a protective face shield and was happy to do so. We didn't even have to go in to make the contactless payment.We have stayed with friends at the Greyhound on a few occassions and had a wonderful time. Rooms were good and the food excellent. Definitely a place not to be missed.

My partner and I recently had lunch with my sister and brother in law at the Greyhound Inn. The Greyhound consistently provides great food at reasonable prices. It is full of charm and character set in the Monmouthshire countryside with good service and a range of beers. I would recommend the liver and bacon with onions or the chicken curry you won’t be disappointed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this inn to family and friends.

We had a lovely two night stay here and were made to feel most welcome along with our dog. The hotel is genuinely dog friendly with bowls, towels and a breakfast sausage supplied. The room itself was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked as were our evening meals, there is plenty of choice on the restaurant menu and very reasonably priced. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The bar has an excellent selection of drinks including a very local real ale. We will definitely be staying here again.

After a very enjoyable few hours at Tredegar House we drove to this wonderful pub and restaurant. Good choice of real ales, locally brewed. Menu was varied with some unusual Specials. We had Liver and onions, Steak and Kidney pie, Lasagne and the Prawn Salad. We were all very happy with our choices and impressed by the quality. Normally we would have a dessert but unfortunately we were too full. Excellent service and delightful venue. We will return and most definitely recommend.

We loved arriving after a long drive at this lovely place. Staying with two children (11 and 13 years), we got an ensuite-room and it was lovely made with two separate beds for the children and 'very british' and comfortable decoration. We fell in love immediately and slept very good, no disturbances to hear from the nearby street. After a shower with a little tricky water supply, we prefered a simple, not cooked breakfast in the morning. A very lovely spot for stay.

Our first visit since The Greyhound changed hands. Still a cosy country pub with a great atmosphere and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Extensive menu selection for both food and wine and reasonably priced. The lamb shanks were possibly the best we have had in a restaurant with wholesome flavoured gravy. We endorse the earlier review that a better vegetable selection would be good but the peas and mash were great anyway. All in all we had a very enjoyable evening celebrating a family birthday..

Lunch time visit, liver and bacon plus chicken chasseur ordered, both with chips. Chips over cooked and tasteless, liver and bacon nicely cooked, chicken was an over cooked supreme (breast), the chasseur sauce had no depth or particular flavour, reminded me of a packet or tinned sauce that had been tarted up by adding mushroom and jarred baby onions. Dessert, Apple and gooseberry crumble with custard and hazelnut meringue with raspberries and ice cream, both desserts had been bought in, the crumble was so hot it should have come with a health warning, the mix in the crumble had no particular taste, the meringue was Ok, the best bits were the raspberries and ice cream. The meal wasn't awful, it wasn't mind blowing, it was meh!

Pensamos que este pub es fácil de encontrar ya que está tan cerca de la A449 pero no hay girando directo de este camino, así que me tomó un tiempo razonable para llegar allí. Nos pareció el más encantador pub con mucho carácter y bastante peculiar. No creo que me quiere alojarse allí como el A449 concurrida es muy cerca.

Como era invierno, teníamos las ventanas cerradas pero tengo que destacar que estábamos a sólo unos metros de una animada de dos vías que el ruido puede ser un problema en los meses más cálidos.

Great place to visit in the summer for evening meal. Food is always pretty good, breakfast is really excellent, nice atmosphere, very welcoming, but let down by poor accommodation, very old fashioned by todays standards, poorly furnished, old wobbly uncomfortable beds. The accommodation block needs a thorough modernisation - hot water for showers is temperamental, wi fi hardly ever works in room, but this is compensated for by the atmosphere of the pub and the meals.

Nice hotel with parking in a nice area. A bit of the beaten track but good for biking and cycling or an evening run. Food is superb so eat in. Rooms are quite good for the price but there is some road noise from the A449 that runs behind. On balance worth the effort and good value

We have been visiting this pub/restaurant for the past 20 years plus, most weeks sometimes twice, and have never had a bad meal. Everything is cooked on site (no boil in the bag) and it is always very busy. The staff, some with in excess of 20 years service, are always very friendly and will find a table, although you may have to enjoy a drink at the bar for a short while.Highly recommended and always good food and value for money.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday after my brother recommended it to us. The pub is really lovely inside (and out) with a very authentic and cosy feel to it. There are quite a lot of original features inside which is a really nice touch. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, and the menu was very appetising! We are not vegetarians but often like to eat the veggie meals and we both felt the veggie offering was a bit more interesting than your average pub. We both had a starter and a main and were both really happy with the quality of the food - I desperately wanted to have dessert but unfortunately was just too full. I think next time we go (and there will definitely be a next time) we might just have mains so we can save room for pudding! Definitely somewhere I will take family and friends and recommend to people.

My wife and I cwent to the Greyhound for tea on a Friday night and ordered the Cod. I can honestly say the only place I have had a meal of equal quality was in Newlyn Cornwall.The Cod was so fresh the fillet was pure white and the flavour was absolutely wonderful.Would recommend this dish. Other dinners were so impressed with the looks that they also ordered the same.

We have been to this pub many times but on the last two occasions we have been disappointed by the wait for our food order to arrive. The table next to us had three sets of different couples order and eat their food before ours arrived. Two of us ordered lambs liver, which arrived with burnt onions, not caramelised, burnt onions and over cooked liver, not worth the wait. Two of us had the Pork Roberta, the Dianne style sauce was superb, well balanced and flavoursome, the meat had no flavour if its own. The waiter thought it was funny that we had to wait over an hour for our main course whilst the regular customers had far better service. I was asked a few times if I enjoyed it I said it was alright, I did not express my disappointment as when I commented on the wait for food I got a gob full from the waiter.

We visit the Greyhound as often as we can which is never often enough. I wish I could pick it up and move it nearer to home. It is the perfect place for a meal or a drink. The food and service never fail to impress and, by having daily specials, there is always something different on the menu. Keep up the good work!

Whenever we have visitors from outside the area, this is the first place on the list. The whole setting is stunning and the drive to the Greyhound is part of the experience. The inside is like a classic old country pub with a good mix of friendly locals and people from further afield. The food is almost like going to your grans house, big portions, local produce and very hearty. Having visited here over 10 times we have never been disappointed!

We set out early as the pub can get busy on a weekend. The pub at this time was not busy.We enjoyed a good meal and were chatting and enjoying a drink and the general ambience. By this time the pub had become quite busy. We were approached by the "female" who appeared to be in charge who wanted us to move to the bar area so that she could reuse our table for other guests.(I point out here that there was no available area within the bar for my party to sit.) In making her (I shall call it a request) she was rude, arrogant and overbearing. If there is no available seating, why continue to take food orders. In the difficult times we are having, I would have thought that establishments like this would be trying to retain existing good customers, not alienate them. There are many alternative places in the area to experience and I will do. Finally I do feel sorry for the chef proprietor who has worked very hard over a number of years to establish his business. Forward thinking is required to prevent such episodes or at least have them dealt with by an individual with a degree of tact.

Spring is here apparently so a meal in a lovely country pub should be just the ticket. Normally the Greyhound have wonderful hanging baskets but probably due to the cold weather they weren't out, hopefully they will be out soon from previous experience they are stunning. Friendly and efficient bar staff and an excellent choice of properly cooked pub food. I had the whitebait followed by liver and bacon which was excellent, my partner had the duck wraps and local sausages and chips all sounds rather boring but not at all, very traditional and really tasty. There were many other more exotic choices but due to the cool weather we were in a more comfort food mood.Lots of good beers available, shame I was doing the driving could have stayed and gone through most of them, Ah! On leaving my partner was fascinated when walking through the gardens by the huge fountain and pond, it was her first visit and she was most impressed. Can't wait for the warmer weather.
