AboutNestled on the banks of the meandering River Wye in Herefordshire, The Red Lion Hotel is located in the picturesque country village of Bredwardine.
Ideally situated for exploring the wondrous Wye Valley, we’re just 12 miles from the historic Cathedral city of Hereford and 8 miles from Hay-on-Wye, the town of books and host of the annual Hay Festival.

Food & drink
The bar stocks a selection of locally brewed real ales and cider. During the Summer months patrons can enjoy our secluded beer garden, and blazing log fires through the Winter months.
Every effort has been made to combine a warm, congenial atmosphere with all the comforts and facilities of a modem day hotel, and you will find that the bar and restaurant at The Red Lion Hotel retain much of the old world charm including oak beams, traditional sash windows, oak paneling, and beautiful antiques.
The reputation of our dining-room relies on well prepared home-cooked food, using as much fresh produce as possible and cooked to order by our highly regarded chef. You can choose from a varied range of meals off our menu and specials board.

Activities
Situated in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas in the country there are a whole host of things to do and enjoy.
These include the historic Hereford Cathedral and the famous Mappa Mundi exhibition, to the local Small Breeds & Owl Centre at Kington.
Of course a visit to Herefordshire would not be complete without a trip to the Museum of Cider, and for the more active among us canoeing down the magnificent River Wye from Hay-on-Wye (the famous town of books and the Hay Festival).
