The Temple Bar Inn

The Temple Bar Inn – Winner of the AA's Friendliest B&B Award of the Year 2018-2019.

The Temple Bar Inn is nestled in the heart of the Herefordshire Village of Ewyas Harold, a stone’s throw from the Welsh Border and the Black Mountains, and on the ramblers Herefordshire Trail. It is ideally situated for walkers, cyclists, and visitors wishing to explore Hereford, Hay on Wye, Abergavenny, and the River Monnow.

First licensed in the 1850s, and now sympathetically and extensively refurbished by the Jinman family owners, it is managed as a free house with bar, games room, restaurant, function room, outside seating area, and three ensuite B&B rooms. It was Highly Commended in the Best Guest Accommodation category in Visit Herefordshire's Awards for Excellence in 2017 and given an AA Breakfast Award in 2018, to go with its 4 silver AA star rating.

The B&B rooms are situated on the first floor above the bar, and offer a comfortable welcome to guests who wish to stay overnight or for a few days. The rooms are all doubles, one of which has space for an extra single bed if required. Each room has a colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Room prices include full English breakfast. The Inn has its own car park.

Coffee, tea and cakes are available in the bar, as well as local and national beverages, including real ales from the Wye Valley Brewery. The Chef sources fresh food supplies for the bar and restaurant menus locally, and the menu changes weekly. Whilst not always essential, booking a meal in the restaurant is recommended to avoid disappointment. The Temple Bar Inn serves food every day, but not on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday evenings.

“This Herefordshire B&B and country pub is unfussily comfortable and good value for money”. Tony Naylor, The Guardian, February 2014
