A HEREFORDSHIRE pub and hotel is celebrating after receiving a prestigious international accolade.

The Temple Bar Inn, in Ewyas Harold, has won a 2024 Booking.com traveller review award after being rated 9.5 out of 10 by guests.

Independently owned and first licensed in the 1850s, the pub sports four ensuite rooms and is already popular on booking.com after only a year of being listed on the site, with no reviewers rating it less than an eight out of 10.

Now in its 12th year, the awards recognise the most highly rated accommodations listed on the website. The ratings are based on the average of all the verified guest reviews that a property receives on both the website and app over a three-year period.

A spokesperson for the Temple bar said: “Our first year with Booking.com and we’re over the moon to have such a good rating.

“Well done team Temple.”

One Booking.com reviewer said: “I rarely give top marks but Gino and his staff at the Temple Bar Inn warrant it.

“The rooms are not just clean but well appointed, good toiletries, excellent shower and a comfortable and quiet bed.

“Food good, hospitality and friendliness up there with the best.”
