The Inn

The Rhydspence Inn has been welcoming guests for over 600 years. The inn you see now was built in the 1580s, with a new wing added about 50 years ago.

​

The Inn is situated in Herefordshire – but the stream running along the edge of the garden marks the border with Wales. The famous book town of Hay-on-Wye is just 4 miles away and we enjoy magnificent views. There are a number of great walks from the pub and there is a canoe centre close by.

 

We will offer you a warm welcome and provide a friendly environment in which you can relax and explore.

​

The Rhydspence Inn has 7 guest rooms, each with its own style – from a four-poster bed in the original 16th century hall, a stone-walled suite to our largest room with panoramic views on three sides, overlooking the Wye Valley.

​

There is ample parking.
