The Rose & Crown
Monmouth Road, Tintern NP16 6SE
Pleasant roadside pub dating from 1835 which is regarded as Tintern's only truly traditional pub. There is a separate room accommodating a pool table. Diners generally eat in the spacious main room that bears the trappings of a traditional public bar with upholstered bench seating, stone flagged floor and rugby union memorabilia dotted around the walls. One small area in front of a fireplace has a high back settle beside it. Across the road is riverside seating giving splendid views along the River Wye. Live music on Friday evenings. B&B accommodation. Bus stop nearby.
The Royal George
Main Road, Tintern NP16 6SF
Built in 1598 as an iron worker's cottage, the hotel has a plushly furnished lounge where a real fire welcomes in winter. The extensive gardens are understandably popular in fine weather. Two of the resident ales come from the local Kingstone brewery and one of the Wye Valley ales is a 'house' ale. The pub side of the business is known as the Wild Hare (breakfast served 7.30-10 am) while the restaurant is called the Port Pantry. The coffee house operates from 9am-5pm.
Wye Valley Hotel
Trelleck Road, Tintern NP16 6SQ
Almost a timewarp, a traditional unspoiled country hotel dating from the 1920s. Travellers mingle happily with locals here at the northern end of the village. Outside, the Wye Valley scenery is majestic and competes with the internal view of special and commemorative bottled ales on shelves around the bar. This distinctive multi-angled pub and hotel cannot be missed. Wye Valley beer is always here together with a local Kingstone ale while a broad range of food is available in the main bar and adjoining restaurant. Note the owners take a winter break during the first 2-3 weeks of January.
