Red Lion Hotel
The Red Lion Hotel is situated in the tiny hamlet of Bredwardine, which nestles on the banks of the River Wye just 12 miles from Hereford, and 8 miles from the Welsh border town of Hay-on-Wye. Situated in the peaceful heart of England, with the Malvern Hills to the east and the Black Mountains to the west this beautiful stretch of countryside remains an unspoilt rural corner retaining a great flavour of Old England.

The hotel stands on it's own grounds in the centre of the village or Bredwardine, and there is a large secluded beer garden at the rear where you can relax. All our bedrooms retain an element of the old-world charm, are individually furnished and en-suite with either a shower, bath, or both. Your comfort is our first priority, so we have provided each room with tea and coffee making facilities, colour television, hair dryer and fan.

A lovely hotel with friendly staff, great food, and a cosy atmosphere. We were staying for two nights while we fished and couldn’t have felt more welcomed by Mike and staff. The fishing was excellent with numerous chub and barbel caught, although it’s best to stay mobile and find the fish! Thanks Red Lion!
