Wye Valley Hotel and Restaurant in Monmouthshire

We stopped in for a quick lunch. The lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming and the bar is well stocked with draught beer and a good range of wine. there is seating both inside and outside There is an extensive menu but we only wanted a light lunch. What we selected was fine but fairly bland - the salad only had a lightly drizzle of dressing. It was a pleasant visit and we would stop here again and try some other dishes.

Very enjoyable meal served by friendly staff. The meal was delivered quickly, and beautifully presented. My ploughman's had good quality ham and cheese & husband's fish and chips filled the plate. Sorry, we were so full we couldn't order a dessert! Very good disabled access.

Friendly and comfortable bar/restaurant. Excellent freshly made rolls for lunch, obliging and efficient service. Not usually crowded.

What absolutely made the difference here in comparison to some of the other places we visited was the welcome. We chose to spend all our evenings here as a result. Food was good, would recommend the ploughman's and the chips were home cooked and delicious.

Great place for a Sunday lunch, excellent quality food & portions, pleasant surroundings. Food came in good time, & good service.

Have eaten here a few times recently and its always been very good. Had Sunday lunch this week with family, good varied menu, roast or other things like fish and chips which a few of our party decided to have. All lovely and fresh and plenty of it, beef was beautiful. Staff very attentive and good real ale was a treat.

A traditional family pub dinner served in the restaurant. A varied menu of British food from steak to fish/chips to scampi to pies. The owners have got it right. Good value for money. Pleasant serving staff.

We had our evening meal in this hotel today. The food was amazing would definitely go there again. Well priced tasty . Excellent Thank you and your staff are a credit to you too. Very friendly and helpful

Try to visit here at least once whenever we're in the area on holiday. trickier this time as were only here Mon-Fri a/m so Thursday night was our only opportunity. They have a great team running the place that are friendly & efficient without being in your face. Good food at sensible prices. Nice homely, relaxed atmosphere. See you again next time we're staying in nearby Brockweir.

We regularly take Sunday lunch here. WE are regulars and for good reason: The freshness of the food makes it top quality. The staff are so friendly and offer superb service. A must if you like traditional Sunday lunches and they serve Wye Valley bitter which washes it all down perfectly. Thanks to Sue, Barry, Grace and the whole team. Don't change anything, the current formula works! Chris & Charlotte H. Brown

Enjoyed eating here and having a few drinks. Good menu and excellent service all round. Hotel accommodation also available

We were very satisfied with a bacon, brie & cranberry and a brie & roasted red pepper sandwich. Tasty and well presented and washed down with tea. Good Covid discipline and vey pleasant sraff.

We had 2 dinners here. They have excellent pub food and a good wine list. For dessert I had the strawberry trifle on both nights, it was delicious! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and took the covid precautions and track and trace seriously. There are plenty of outside tables for you to enjoy the sunshine, if not it is warm and cosy inside.

The Wye Valley Restaurant is nestled slightly away from the Tourist centre of Tintern, but this only adds to its appeal and it worth the short walk - it is the perfect stop for a ‘proper pub lunch’, and keeps the picturesque beauty of the surrounding area. The staff were friendly, and there was a decent selection of food, accommodating for dietary needs and it was exemplary that they offered gluten free options, such as gluten free batter for fish. There was nothing special or extraordinary on the menu, but this did not matter. The portions were very good value for money, and I basically had 2 full blocks of cheese on my ploughman’s lunch. It was delicious - nothing special, but filling. On the whole, a much less chaotic restaurant than what those closer to the abbey seemed, friendly staff and good quality pub food. It won’t blow your mind, but was great at what it does, offering good value for money.

We had a lovely stay at Wye Valley hotel, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Especially Grace who went out of her way to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Food was excellent especially breakfast, rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable and well furnished. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Wye Valley, Tintern Abbey was quite magnificent and there was plenty of beautiful walks around the hotel. Well done to the owners Barrie and Sue.

We only ate here while staying at a local B&B, and were very pleased with our choice. Meals were tasty and filling, atmosphere is wonderful, our hosts were friendly and helpful.

Just called into the Wye Valley Hotel for some food on way home from North Wales. Wow steak pie best we've eaten and my lamb Chops fabulous. You must stop and enjoy the food. Five star.

We ate here on our first night in Tintern, arriving hot and exhausted after a 7 hour drive. The staff were welcoming and the food was beautifully cooked. Some unusual and interesting items on the menu (for example I had gammon served with peach and brie) but it was delicious. Also a good selection of gin, including one from a local distiller. Well worth the visit!

I had an excellent steak and mushroom pie. The flavour was good and there was plenty of meat. My wife had a Mediterranean vegetable Wellington, which was very poor. The vegetables were mainly carrots and potatoes with some olives and a smattering of tiny pieces of possibly frozen pepper. It came with an unexciting salad and good chips. When we were asked about the meal, my wife commented on the contents of the Wellington, and the (very pleasant) waitress went to have a word with the chef, and came back to report that she would take it up with the suppliers the next day. However no adjustment was made to the bill. When we looked at the bill, my meal (delicious and full of expensive meat) was only 55p more than the potato olive and carrot puff.

We go relatively often and would recommend the traditional pub food options. Always reliable, a particular favourite is the gammon with peaches and brie.

We had a really enjoyable meal here. The lamb was particularly good and the puddings exceptional (go for the chocolate tart if you get the chance but leave plenty of room :-)). Service friendly and food came at just the right pace.

My wife and I had seen this place a few times on our trips to and from our accommodation, every time vowing to eat here. In the end, I wish we’d gone elsewhere. One thing stood out from the meal we had and that was the starters. Mine; a butterfly prawn with chilli sauce. Hers; ham hock tagine with oat biscuits. All else was lacklustre. The venison burger was nice, but the triple cooked chips tasted more like crisps. My wife’s trout contained multiple bones and was particularly tasteless. We hoped dessert would heighten the senses and our impressions. More bland from the caramel tart, left it half finished. We used the chocolate brownie more as a method of relief from the former. If anything more dissatisfying happened this would have been my first 2 star review.

Walked in for food and drink. Set up a tab, bottle of wine and vodka redbull under £20. Ordered food for outside, asked for a change on one of the meals and the request was no trouble at all. Staff friendly and charming. Another place in Tintern that accepted dogs food was delicious.Highly recommend

The menu looked perhaps a bit safe and dare I say boring. But we were tired from travelling, and hungry too. And we had a lovely meal!Staff were very obliging, with chef even adapting a dish to suit my dislikes! So I had lamb chops with a fresh mint jus, and very tasty they were too. They came with fresh vegetables, which shouldn't be hard to find at this time of year but too often is. There was a good choice of wines by the glass too.This was good, honest cooking, well executed without short cuts, and very much appreciated.

Great evening, good pub food, nice beer and great value. A little quiet but customer numbers down to the road closure which I hope doesn’t have long term effects to the pub. Friendly & helpful landlord. Lovely walk opposite through churchyard to river bank walkWell worth a stop

Met up with family for a short week stay here.

I ate in the restaurant on 3 consecutive nights. Great choice of fresh, locally sourced food; menus change daily subject to availability of ingredients. Wonderful service. I travelled alone and was made to feel extremely welcome. Thank you.

Lovely Bank Holiday lunch with friends. Warm welcome from all the staff and meals were all excellent quality and value. Most of us had rump steak which had the quality of sirloin and cooked as requested. Puddings were homemade. Just a lovely pub meal that you hope for when you book BH lunch in an unfamiliar area.

We needed a place to meet up with family from all over England and this place provided just what we had hoped for, good food, good service and the ability to be able to chat.

Fantastic lunch here. I had the ham and cheddar ploughman's lunch. Definitely worth stopping here for lunch if you are visiting the Abbey.

AS I was staying in a B&B; across the road visited this reastaurant for my evening meals. An excellent menue, excellent and very friendly proprieters & staff

We stopped at this hotel/bar/restaurant for lunch today. Not a huge menu but the food was lovely. I had the vegetarian moussaka and Mr had the traditional beef pie with chip's. The pie looked homemade and I'm told it was filled with meat and you could take the red wine in it. There is plenty of off road free parking so we left the car and walked along the Wye to Brockweir Bridge. There are a lot of places to eat in Tintern, this place is at the opposite end to the Abbey ruins.

What a lovely pub / restaurant. The actual restaurant looked a but formal so we went into the bar and ordered a lovely lunch by the roaring log fire (there are two!). Barry and Sue the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Great selection of good beers and the Gammon, pear and brie was delicious. Smashing

A clean and very well run place. We just stopped for drinks and

We were a party of four pensioners (two couples) staying at this Hotel from 29-31st October. The trip was hastily arranged so little research was done beforehand on the Hotel but it proved a winner. If you are tired of modern, impersonal hotels this is for you. The bedrooms are very pretty, have every facility and are spotlessly clean. The hosts - Sue and Barry - treat you as valued guests and will adapt to meet your needs if possible. The food was lovely but if one wanted something different from that shown on the menu, Sue will try and provide an alternative. The dining room, where we had a freshly cooked breakfast is spacious and the small lounge area attached is so cosy. We ate in the bar in the evenings - cosy with fires at both ends of the room - and the friendly ambience was great. When we go back to this area in the future we most certainly would not look at any other hotel.

I did not stay here, so I cannot comment on the rooms. I ste in the bar. The portions were generous & the prices were reasonable. My mom & I shared a burger. The beef patty was large & it came with onion rings & cole slaw. The cole slaw had a mayo dressing, so I didn't eat much of it because I don't care for mayo. It wasn't bad, that's just a personal preference. My dad had a crispy chicken dinner. The chicken was breaded & fried. He doesn't usually eat fried food, but he said it was good

Restaurant has a cosy pub feel. Food was delicious. Homemade chips were to die for! Huge home made desserts too. If I'm in the area again I'd definitely come back.

Two of us walking Offa's Dyke Path from Chepstow were pretty hungry when we arrived. We received a warm welcome, drank good Cider, pleased to find an open fire blazing and were pleased with the food.

Very nice local pub with a good feel to it. Grabbed a bite to eat and as usual we were not disappointed. Dogs are welcome which is useful as it means we don't have to leave our lab cooped up.

Honest, mostly locally sourced, pub food done very well. 3rd visit not had a bad course and excellent service

I met friends here for dinner and it was excellent. The decor is old fashioned pub style which makes it cosy and relaxing. The menu has a very varied choice. I ha the pork belly which was perfectly cooked and delicious. All my friends enjoyed their food. The service was friendly and quick. The desserts were also home made and delicious. We had a lovely evening. I would highly recommend it.

A very pleasant but short visit en route to the south of England. It is in a beautiful area and very close to Tintern Abbey, on the main road through Tintern. I stopped for a snack lunch and was welcomed in a friendly way. It is clean and comfortable. I like the sign that encourages you to talk rather than stare down at a phone screen!

The food at this restaurant is really good and not overly expensive, if you are in the area please eat here you will not regret it.

Very good beds. Terrible scrambled eggs Chef really should learn how to present this most BASIC of dishes. Noisy cockerels next door. otherwise unpretentious and realistic hostelry; notable barman. I'd stay again. Wine list boring, food avarage. Lovely spot.. Good Value.

We were on our way home from a day out. We fancied some pub food. The first few places we looked at had quiet formal menus. The wye valley hotel and restaurant offered a variety of meals.

Comimos aquí hoy y eran generalmente satisfechos con la experiencia. Entrantes y platos principales llegó bastante rápido y bastante generoso. Sin embargo, había entonces esperar mucho tiempo antes de que alguien sacó las placas o nos preguntó si queríamos postres. Pasaron diez minutos o así, luego la camarera volver a decir selección de mi esposa no estaba disponible. De terminar nuestra platos principales a conseguir mi postre era de unos 45 minutos, lo cual es inaceptable.

Simple, well cooked food with hearty "walker's" portions. The pies are home made, well filled with traditional pastry. We didn't order the ploughman's but it certainly looks a real plateful! Welcoming and dog friendly in the bar.

El restaurante pub's era muy confortable, con una decoración cálida. El servicio era bueno y la comida era abundante y delicioso y justo lo que necesitaba en el final de un largo día.

We wanted to try three restaurants in the Tintern area during our short stay at another hotel. We tried this on the first of 3 nights, and came back on the thrid night. The 8oz rump steak was cooked precisely as ordered and was beautifully presented, as well as being a plentiful and tasty meal. The roast chicked breast was a large meal, again beautifully presented and the cod and chips with salad was the best fish and chips we have had - ever! Service was prompt, friendly and, apart from a slight inaccuracy in the bill on the second visit (quickly rectified) absolutely perfect.

We eat here a lot ... as in a couple of times per month. Its our favourite restaurant in Tintern.. by far. Never had a poor meal and have probably tried everything on the menu over the years, fish, steak, chicken, lamb, ploughmans the lot. Good hearty & tasty portions well presented, good service from caring owners and staff.Excellent value for money prices and a good balance of friendly locals and tourists.

Very nice hotel with really helpful and friendly staff. Went for weekend as a group of 12 and the set-up worked really well with a cosy bar to socialise and restaurant with good food. The location was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Had dinner Saturday evening. We both had steak pie and thought it was DELICIOUS!!! 10/10. Service fine for us too. Will visit again if in area.

Great salmon and vegetable. Freshly cooked. Good service. The pub is somewhat dated and not particularly special for the area. Certainly go there again.

Stayed here with my wedding party and the place is relaxed, informal and clean. Great breakfast and comfortable rooms. Great restaurant and knowledge able bar staff. Great parking good wifi and superb location

Actually deplorable service! After a lovely main course we waited for a dessert menu.... and waited, then when we asked and finally got one (for two of us) we waited... and waited some more.... even 20 minutes more. No-one had bothered to ask us about the lovely main. The dining room wasn't busy. Certainly not what we expected and a very disappointing end to our evening.

After seeing the great reviews of this restaurant I was very looking forward to visiting with my elderly mother and uncle. We arrived at lunchtime on a Saturday, it was rather busy and we were not received by staff and didn't get a seat until another kind couple offered to move, to accommodate us. We did enjoy the meal, but felt rather neglected, hence we moved on to another restaurant for sweet and coffee.

Fantastic food and staff. Landlady was lovely and welcomed us into the bar with our three dogs where we had a wonderful meal. My husband thought the pie was best he had ever tried. Highly recommend.

Dinner with dogs... a very warm welcome, great service and delicious food... Highly recommend the steak pie and lemon meringue... but everyone was delighted so plenty of choice. Highly recommended.

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday evening. The food took a little while to come but it was obviously freshly cooked and worth the wait. I had the tastiest burger I had had for some time and my husband said it was one of the best gam, egg and chips meals he'd ever had - and he's had a few! The staff were friendly and the beer (Kingstone brewery) was good too.

En vanlig pub med fantastisk mat! Trevlig personal, hårda stolar, personlig service. Bra läge vid vägen, åt i puben⭐️⭐️

My husband found this on the internet to take me out for a a car ride and for a suprise lunch on my birthday. Such a pretty place with a nice atmosphere inside too. The food was really good and well-priced. The staff were so friendly and welcoming too and made us feel at home immediately. Across the main road there is a path which goes down to the river. It is only about 50 yards away and we went and sat on a lovely wooden seat in the sunshine after our meal. There was a path you could walk alongside the river too if you wanted to. We so enjoyed our meals that we will definately be returning. Being able to stop over for the night is a bonus if we want to stay longer.

Hungry & thirsty & as our usual watering hole was closed we popped into the Wye Valley Hotel for the first time having passed it on numerous occasions.Is what it looks, a friendly, honest comfy pub/hotel.We had a great snack & some good ale whilst sitting outside taking in the fabulous sunshine. On the main road but so what, ideal if requiring a stop over.

We stopped of here on route back to our camp site after a day seeing family. Was a last minute decision that I am so glad we made. Such a friendly and welcoming place with great service. The food was lovely and enjoyed by all which is no mean feet as we had a couple of fussy eater's and vegetarians in our group. We are planning to visit the area again and I intend to drop in again for dinner when we do. Would recommend to families and anyone with a dog.

A recent long weekend in Tintern and we were straight back to our favourite pub/restaurant The Wye Valley Hotel. We have been using this pub for some years now as we used to go self catering nearby when we had a dog. It is the most welcoming place we have ever been to, the couple who own it and their long serving staff recognise their many returnees and greet them as old friends. All the food is excellent but especially recommended is the Steak and Mushroom pie, made by the Landlady with proper pastry, and the cheese platter.

We stopped as we were a very hungry couple looking for a bite to eat over a Easter weekend break and a drive out from symonds yat proved worth while as we came across this hotel after going to the abbey what a surprise great home cooking the fish and chips and home made tartar sauce were fantastic and the local Wye vally ale spot on. Friendly bar and waiting staff was a nice touch keep up the good work and thank you for a lovely lunch.

We called here for a light lunch - not least because it was where we spent the first night of our honeymoon 32 years ago! The food was good and service pleasant. The price was acceptable.Surroundings are atmospheric.. the only possible downside was the tiny bread bun served with the excellent soup.

Loved the fish and chips and the rump steak. Tried the venison burger for first time. It was well coked but not for me.

The meal was served on time by efficient,friendly staff.Everyone had different dishes and no one was disappointed.We ate in the Restaurant which is a good size and festively dressed.A great atmosphere.

When we booked (as a party of Six) for a Saturday evening we were told we had to come early because they were busy and also short staffed. When we arrived at 6.45pm there was nobody else in the dining room until 7.30pm when another party of Four arrived. When we left the restaurant at 9.15pm there were still no more diners and the bar only had half a dozen in it so not sure if they were really as busy as they said!. Also noted most of the tables in the dining room had already been set for breakfast before we arrived! The food was about average, steaks had a seam of gristle running through them so not of the best quality although most of the party had no specific complaints. Service was good and the waitress very attentive (this is why I haven't scored lower than average). The decor is very dated and drab. All in all average and uninspiring.

We were looking for somewhere to stop for lunch and were so pleased we stopped here. We were lucky to get a table outside. The staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Our food was reasonably priced and was served quickly. Both meals were absolutely delicious, piping hot, nicely presented and genuinely homemade.

We were driving past and glimpsed at this place and it looked loverly so we turned around and went back, and we were so glad we did.The staff and owner were all really friendly, and the food was to die for, it was really presented really nicely, with very good portions, and tasted really really good.I have been to many pubs but I would say this is one of the highest standards I have seen in the food and cleanliness. My husband had the home made chips and they were loverly and dry and not at all greasy, fish was done to perfection, and I had the lasagne, and the salad was so fresh it crunched. We ended up sharing half and half on the meals.11/10 and we can't wait to go again. Really good value for money.

Very much enjoyed the meal here. They were very accommodating as my wife fancied the salmon but didn't want it in the sauce on the menu, so they just cooked it without the sauce. The veggie burger was delicious and the chips were very nicely cooked. Beer was good and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.

Absolutely nothing wrong. All boxes ticked , clean , comfortable , friendly and good location. Food in bar quite good , prices sensible and breakfast good too. Nothing wrong but it's an old place and feels tired but chef really good and absolutely nothing to complain about. Would we go again? Not sure it depends on neighbouring hostelries offers

I've eaten here on a number of occasions and I once again wasn't disappointed. We ate in the bar and brought our little pug who was made welcome. We were a party of six and when I mentioned that my father was a celiac and asked what on the menu he could eat, the landlady said chef could make him battered fish no problem, my Dad was delighted as there's not many occasions that would be an option. The food was delicious, well presented, plenty of it, well cooked and the chips were extremely crispy and moorish. My family were very impressed with my choice of eatery. I love the decor, immaculate, traditional and welcoming. Will be returning.

Called in for lunch during Bank Holiday weekend, and slightly wary as we had two little ones with us. Staff were welcoming and helpful and brought a high chair into the bar. Pleased to see local Kingstone Brewery beer on sale. However bar food was excellent at reasonable price. Very good and generous baguettes with wonderful home made chips. And the child's portion cod and chips also very good. Will certainly return when in the area.

The restaurant here is in a large room with plenty of space and the ability to be both intimate and to hold a large party. There is a good variety of food and the meal we had was well cooked and nicely presented. Special dietary needs are catered for, but we felt there was just a hint of resentment that my wife didn't like the salad served with her meal. Nothing too important, but it was a mood changer, which was a shame.All in all, a nice meal, though.

This pub was also just along the road from our holiday rental cottage. Decor is a bit 'twee' and a bit old fashioned but we ordered Sunday Lunch and that was anything but. It was a proper, good Sunday Lunch. Very generous portions, especially the meat, we had both beef and lamb. There seemed to be quite a few locals eating at the same time as us which I felt was testament to how good the food was. Would recommend for a hearty Sunday lunch at very reasonable prices.

me and my partner carole had a 2 night stay in the wye valley on the 11th and 12th of july. we had lovely stay. the room was a big surprise with loads of space with a separate lounge area and food downstairs was faultless. can't wait to go back to this lush part of the country.

We stayed just one night and were greeted with a very friendly reception, in addition this has been the only hotel where the owner insisted that our case was carried up the stairs to our room PLUS the case was taken down to our car on departure. This has never happened before.The room was clean and the bed comfortable although we were surprised by a blanket rather than a duvet.The evening meal was very good my steak cooked to perfection and the breakfast next morning was freshly cooked and very good.

My husband and I stayed in Tintern for the May bank holiday weekend. Much to our dismay we could not get booked into the Wye Valley to stay but that is to be expected as we have stayed before and it is by far one of the best places to stay in Tintern. Whilst we were staying we did have our dinners and drinks in the Wye Valley though and as always everything was fantastic. Barry and Sue, the owners, make everybody welcome, serve up delicious food and the hotel has an overall welcoming and homely atmosphere. A must visit if you are staying or passing through Tintern!

I have visited this hotel several times but never stayed the night, so I comment only on the food, drink and service.The best thing about this place is its location. It's a nice spot to sit outside in the sunshine, although other Tintern pubs have better views. The food is decent but overpriced and a bit old-fashioned. I suspect it would be popular mainly with retired people. There are a couple of decent ales on draught, but I don't detect a huge effort being made there. A few miles up the valley there are pubs serving some of the best beer and cider in Britain. I've found the service here very variable. In short, the women have been charming and friendly and courteous, but there's a man here who I've found quite rude when I've ordered at the bar. On one occasion he was literally shaking with anger because I wanted to pay with a card instead of cash. It's 2014, for goodness' sake, and this is a town without a cash machine.

Great location, but let down by the mothers day lunch. All tasted of water, gravy was much to runny, beef was half fat and had blood pouring out of it,very bland and wouldnt come here again! Defiently not going to be recommending it to any body else.

Excellent food & good variety on menu. Just a shame we can never manage more than one course as the portions are substantial. Good value, cosy bar to eat in in winter and very civilised owners. Always very relaxing.

We popped in there just to have a drink, we found there prices very reasonable so we stopped there for a few hours. The atmosphere was lovely and intimate so you could sit in a booth and have a conversation and a few drinks and then we decided to order food which was lovely with a good selection off options. They also had an extensive range of single malts.

Ate here twice last week. Food was pretty good and both the landlady and landlord were very friendly with good advice on what to do/where to go locally. I'd certainly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

We stumbled upon this gem of a pub/restaurant on our way home from a visit to wales and were very pleased we did!The menu is mouthwateringly extensive making choosing very difficult. After ordering and getting a drink from the bar we sat at a table out the front. The pub is on the main road but there is a reasonably deep frontage with flower tubs etc making a nice seated area and its quite a sun trap!The food arrived in good time and really was delicious, lovely flavour combinations in dishes that were far from normal pub fare. Although we live a long way from this pub, if we ever are in the area again we would definitely stop here again.

I rated the room by mistake we only ate here. The exterior was beautifully decorated with flower boxes and they had convenient parking despite the narrow roadway by the river. Anyway, sat in bar to eat - very cozy. Couldn't have asked for a friendlier bartender or waitstaff. We conversed a lot and got good travel tips. When we saw the very traditional Roast, Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Potato we all decided THIS was the place to finally order it. And we were not disappointed. Delicious dinner plate. Reminded me if my childhood Sunday dinners with our Brit neighbors. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with a stop here. Locals seemed to hang out there.
