Wye Valley Country Hotel

A welcoming hotel in the heart of Tintern

The Wye Valley Hotel is a charming, historic place to stay in the village of Tintern, set in the beautiful wooded valley of the River Wye on the border of Wales and England. It has welcomed guests for generations, and with comfortable en-suite rooms, a well-regarded restaurant and a traditional bar with open fires, it makes a perfect base for exploring one of Britain’s loveliest river valleys — with the famous ruins of Tintern Abbey just along the road.

Comfortable rooms

The hotel offers eight en-suite rooms, including a family suite, blending the character of an old valley inn with the comfort of modern facilities. It is an easy-going, friendly sort of place — well suited to walkers, couples and families alike. Free WiFi is available throughout and is rated highly by guests, and there is free private on-site parking with full-day security, so you can leave the car and explore the valley on foot.

Restaurant and bar

Dining is a real strength here. The restaurant serves a wide choice of dishes — from British classics and steaks to international options — with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices available, and meals served from breakfast through to dinner. The traditional public bar, with its open fires, is a welcoming spot for a drink after a day’s walking. Dogs are welcome in the public bar and in one designated bedroom, so it is worth mentioning your dog when you book if you are bringing one along.

Tintern and the Wye Valley

Tintern is one of the most beautiful villages in the Wye Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty famous above all for the romantic ruins of Tintern Abbey, which sit beside the river just a couple of minutes away. The Offa’s Dyke Path and the wooded walks of the valley are right on the doorstep, including the climb to the Devil’s Pulpit with its celebrated view over the abbey. The historic town of Chepstow, with its great riverside castle, and the market town of Monmouth are both within easy reach.

A walker’s and explorer’s base

The Wye Valley is wonderful walking country, and the hotel’s position in the heart of Tintern makes it an ideal launch-pad. You can stroll to the abbey, follow riverside and woodland trails, or head out to Chepstow, Monmouth and the wider valley by car. With good food, a cosy bar and secure parking to come back to, it is the kind of place that turns a walking weekend into a proper treat — and its consistently high guest scores reflect just that.
