A riverside pub in Herefordshire has been named one of the best in the UK.

The Riverside Inn in Ross-on-Wye was featured in The Times' list of the 25 best pubs with rooms, praised for its "tempting menu" and "characterful rooms."

The pub, restaurant and hotel is situated on the banks of the River Wye and combines rustic charm with a relaxed continental style.

Guests can enjoy seasonal menus using locally sourced ingredients and dine on a terrace overlooking the river.

The Times said: "Transformed from near dereliction in 2025 with rooms added this August, this Wye Valley pub has a tempting menu with the likes of crispy ham hock with black garlic, and sea bream with Romesco sauce.

"Brass beds and antiques from local dealers grace the five characterful rooms.

"Bathrooms are inviting: the Mole has a Japanese copper bath for a wallow, as well as a walk-in shower.

"In the valley, explore Goodrich Castle and walk up to Symonds Yat Rock for spectacular autumnal views."

The Riverside Inn is also dog-friendly and has become a popular spot for both visitors and locals.
