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.

lovely rooms in dog friendly in with excellent food. Two of us and small dog stayed in one of the delightful gardens rooms, which are well appointed with a roll top bath and great shower, fresh linen and good quality tea and coffee in the room. The Inn is right on the river with delightful views.

Beautiful and spacious rooms Stayed in one of the garden rooms in February 2019. What a beautiful spacious room! It has exquisite décor and is spotlessly clean with an incredibly comfortable bed. Delicious food and helpful and friendly staff. Thank you so much – I can’t wait to come back!

5 Stars. We absolutely love eating here. The food and drink are always of the same very high standard, well served with professional but friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble. We will go again and again and sometimes take visiting friends who are always really impressed.

Well worth a visit Generously sized room with sofa, very comfortable bed, excellent shower, oozing character and well located for exploring the local area for a night or two.
Ann, AU - Booking.com (October 2018)

Lovely inn, we had a great and welcoming stay. Staff were really friendly. I had a big dog with me, she was made very welcome, and a water bowl left for her at our dinner and breakfast tables. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The flapjacks in the room were a nice touch. We loved our stay.
Ventzi (GB) – Booking.com - (March 2019)

A Real Treat. Spotlessly clean room with real milk for tea and coffee and lovely homemade flapjacks. Lovely spot by the river and we had a wonderful meal in the restaurant downstairs.

Lovely homey welcoming pub with great food and spacious comfortable rooms.
Diner, OpenTable – (October 2018)

Excellent food and a great venue. The staff couldn't of been anymore helpful and added to a great birthday for my wife. Sitting down by the river was truly magical and being surprised with an impromptu birthday dessert topped of a wonderful experience.
Diner, OpenTable – (March 2019)

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.
OpenTable Diner (September 2018)

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)

Really super place to stay in area with loads to see and do.
Frances, (GB) – Booking.com (February 2019)

LOVED EVERYTHING! Bedrooms decor was lovely, towels big and fluffy, extra touches of bathrobes and stocked fridge excellent. Cleanliness excellent! Breakfast, dinner, exceptional! Good stock of wines and spirits. Nothing was too much trouble! The staff were very respectful.
Jones N, - Booking.com - (January 2019)

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)

Lovely meal for 4. Beautiful restaurant by the river, staff are lovely, and food was cooked to perfection. Will recommend to family and friends for the future. Thankyou.
E Lewis (GB) TripAdvisor (March 2019)

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.

An excellent experience - The lodges were lovely and comfortable. Very different as didn’t expect them to be wooden rooms but lovely. Lots of towels and an excellent shower.
Gary , (JE) – Booking.com - (December 2018)

Idyllic - Put simply this is an amazing country pub and restaurant, exactly what people imagine when they talk about such a thing. It is historic and yet warm and comfortable even on a cold December day.
Steve W, TripAdvisor - (January 2019)

Wonderful! An incredibly cosy B&B, with clear attention to detail, high quality fixtures and fittings, and a superb breakfast. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. I would definitely return here without hesitation!
