Temple - Herefordshire, County of

We had a fantastic stay here. The room was great, just what we needed for our one night stop over for my partners birthday. The bar and restaurant were also lovely, we didn’t try the food as we had dinner booked else where but did had a few drinks at the bar before and after and had a great time with the locals who we’re all super friendly and welcoming. The stand out for us was the staff and service we received though, Gino in particular was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Decent fry up for breakfast in the morning too! Can’t fault this place at all 10/10 from us.

Besides limited parking, lovely spot, nice staff and good beer selection.

.A very comfortable B&B in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. An excellent pie and beer for dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

We booked to go here as part of an activity weekend away for a stag party. We preordered an evening meal. The food was prepared and served in really good time and was ok for pub food. More care could have been taken with some of the food (chips a bit undercooked and steak a bit overcooked etc), but it was perfectly fine after a busy day of activities. Whilst I appreciate we were a ‘stag party’ of 15 can set people eyes rolling and perhaps make people a bit apprehensive as a group we were well behaved and sober. This biggest and probably only indicator that we were a stag group was the stag was carrying his inflatable future wife dressed as a pink power ranger. The pub is lovely, the people less so. On arrival it was like the scene from American Werewolf when they walk into the locals only boozer. A drunk older man at the bar stood there glaring us up and down, a group of three very young looking males next to him began to talk about about us and behave in a weird passive aggressive manner. Sadly after a couple of decades as a police officer I developed the knack of spotting trouble makers and these ‘boys’ appeared upset that we were on their turf. The bar staff and possibly the landlady weren’t much better. When asked if we wanted to order drinks before we went through to the dining area I replied ‘can we take a seat first’ mainly because I wanted to see what drinks were on offer. I received no response and they just asked another one of our group the same question. When seated opposite a possible family they started staring and talking about us. It was really strange. They were saying things like ‘oh look there’s 15 of them’, ‘look at him’. On returning to the bar I was served by who I think may be the landlady. At the end of the transaction I said thank you very much only to get a blank stare and she turned and walked away. A couple of our group went outside to vape and came quickly back stating we shouldn’t talk to the locals. Afterwards I was told that the group of three at the bar had become a larger group and were acting in the same way again. We ate and left. Whilst this may all seem quite trivial and the establishment may come back with ‘a reason’ or ‘version of events’ I wanted to let future travellers and the owners know and reflect on this. Myself and many of the group are well travelled and rarely experience a reception like this. We were made by locals and staff to feel unwelcome and as if we had no right being there. Please take this on board and learn.
