Luxury in Leintwardine
The only room left was a small double but it was perfectly adequate for 2 people for one night. The room is tastefully decorated with a large bathroom with a shower over the bath. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The evening meal was excellent which we took out on the terrace overlooking the river and meadows. The breakfast was very good too although the smoked haddock was not available. Overall, a wonderful place to stay with good food and great service in an idyllic part of the world. This wasn't my first time staying here and hopefully it won't be the last.

Really enjoyed our stay and were able to sit outside in the sunshine by the river with a pre-dinner drink. The food was excellent well above usual pub grub. Will definitely stay again.
