The Riverside at Aymestrey - winner of Visit England 'Best Tourism Pub 2018' - is situated deep in the heart of Herefordshire countryside just on the southern edge of the Mortimer Forest, yet still close to Ludlow and Hereford.

Authentic and atmospheric, the 16th century black and white building is surrounded by the natural beauty of the River Lugg valley and is run by Andy Link.

The food was exquisite; as a food writer in company with a chef, we were potentially a tricky audience but the food, service and attention to detail was outstanding and, Id say, worth of a Michelin *. Id return at the drop of a hat. This place is really special.

I'm so glad we took the time to go to the Riverside Inn. Perfectly cooked, unfussy food but with some interesting takes on regular dishes. Excellently priced too!
Diner – OpenTable (September 2018)

A delicious meal ! The meal and service were excellent. I started with a Goat's Cheese Mousse and followed with A Duo of Pork, my companion selected from their Vegetarian Menu - all the dishes were exceptional. We will certainly be returning.

A lovely place to stay, full of character and with amazing food and it was the little touches that really made the difference, homemade flapjack in the room and fresh milk for tea and coffee. Definitely go again!
Janet, GB – booking.com (September 2018)

The perfectly picturesque hideaway. We could not have stayed in a more beautiful place. The staff are wonderful and so helpful. We stayed in the hayloft and it's a stunning room. I cannot recommend this inn highly enough
Charlotte – Booking.com

A great Sunday lunch. We booked for Sunday lunch for four and we, and our two dogs, were made very welcome. The food was excellent and the staff were knowledgeable about the ingredients in the menu as well as the drinks on offer. They were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be going back.

Wonderful birthday lunch Had lunch today to celebrate a special birthday. Food was excellent as was the service. Would return again. Guinea fowl worth a mention. Starters superb. We sat outside after lunch by the river such a peaceful spot. Keep up the good work.

What a Great Place to stay We were so lucky to find this place. We stayed in the Hayloft which was overlooking the river and the old bridge. Very peaceful and quiet watching out for the kingfisher. We both enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good food good service and nice location

Just perfect! The room was delightful and the bed was extremely comfortable. Our evening meal was excellent.

Exceeded any expectations. The hotel is charming, with a terrace next to the river. The staff welcoming and forthcoming, the room was practical and comfortable. Restaurant food was really excellent, all home made, inventive, good combinations.
Helen – Booking.com (May 2018)

Excellent! I don’t usually write reviews but felt it necessary following our recent stay. I would thoroughly recommend the Riverside. I would struggle to find a fault with it. Staff couldn’t do enough, they never stopped and worked very hard. Our room was lovely with all the little extras make it very special. Beautiful location nessled in the valley by the river. We shall be back!

Just lovely all-round we returned for an overnight stay - & pleased to say that things were better than ever! Rooms are very spacious & comfortable, with everything you need, & staff were friendly & helpful throughout our stay. Best of all was the excellent dinner - really well prepared & presented & very tasty - probably the best meal I've had for some time!!

Remains a favorite haunt. Having previously visited for special occasions went there with friends for lunch. As usual everything was top notch from food to service to ambience. Cannot wait to return…..
