Upstairs are eight comfortable en-suite rooms (including a family suite) while downstairs you’ll find a cosy public bar with open fires and a large dining room. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and ample parking outside. Children, walkers, cyclists and dogs are all welcome, but dogs are restricted to the public bar and one designated bedroom. As well as a fine range of beers, wines and spirits, we offer meals that are freshly prepared and full of flavour, often featuring local produce and ingredients. We are CAMRA accredited and proud to have received consecutive TripAdvisor Awards for Excellence, as well as 5 star hygiene ratings.

On your arrival you are likely to be met by either the owners Barry and Sue, or our manager Grace. We have all lived and worked in Tintern for over 20 years and enjoy welcoming new people and introducing them to the area and all it has to offer. Barry especially likes to guide you towards gorgeous walks (then later on) his selection of gins and whiskies (including some boutique local brands), whereas Sue is often thinking (and cooking!) up new menus featuring local and seasonal produce.

Step outside the hotel and you soon find yourself in spectacular countryside. The Wye is just 50 yards from our front door, where otters, herons, seals and kingfishers are to be spotted. Cross the bridge to the English side of this tidal river and you can soon join the famous Offa’s Dyke Trail – all the way to Prestatyn (we are part of a hotel scheme that will forward luggage for walkers). There is also plenty to explore in the village. Twelfth century Tintern Abbey is the most famous local landmark – a Gothic ruin that still exudes a wonderful air of spirituality and tranquillity. Other attractions within walking distance include a medieval slipway, a working vineyard, the Kingstone micro-brewery, the Old Railway Station, the ruined church of St Mary’s, tunnels, caves, sculpture trails and Roman ironworks as well as other pubs and cafes. Sporting fans may want to visit nearby Chepstow Racecourse (home of the Welsh Grand National), Cardiff for rugby or Celtic Manor (Ryder Cup) for golf. The more active can go riding, kayaking, cycling, diving at nearby centres - we can advise further.
