Les points forts : Propreté et confort de la chambre
A real stay in the country
There's no doubt that The Boat Inn is a lovely, traditional pub in a super location, right on the banks of the Wye with good views of the river from the bedrooms above the pub. The surroundings are wooded and distinctly bosky, which is nice. There is a small village (Redbrook) with a village shop a few hundred metres away across an old railway bridge. The Boat serves excellent food, but only on certain days - Thursday to Sunday, from memory. BUT beware of the journey there, from the main roads: the roads are exceptionally narrow but well maintained. There are two ways into the actual village (Penallt). I soon learned to ignore the satnav and to follow the signs on the road nearby: that route is a bit easier. Of course, you can always park in the village car park across the bridge (Redbrook): it's only a couple of hundred metres away. The accommodation is old-fashioned, comfortable and accessible up some slightly dodgy stone steps at the side of the pub. There's a private terrace although (when we were there) somewhat overgrown - and you can't see the river from the terrace, just the hills and woods around. Still nice, though. Locals and staff are really friendly and helpful. Quiz night is Wednesday. It's a great stay.
