Much photographed black and white building. The interior unfortunately does not do justice to the exterioir

The bar is now back in the body of the hotel, the former bar to the right is now a coffee shop.

Service has resumed at the back bar but contactless payments only.

Historic Interest

Built in 1619 by an ambitious attorney called Rees Jones, who moved to Ludlow to pursue his career at the ‘Council of the Marches’, the building was converted into a hotel by his grandson 50 years later and has been welcoming guests since 1670.

Grade I hotel with a world famous 17th century three storey half-timbered frontage. Beyond the original front studded door are a pair of inner doors with excellent stained and leaded panels. The ground floor room to right of entrance has panelling, mantelpiece and wall paintings. Front left room has more panelling. Two rooms on the first floor have panelling, plaster ceiling and over mantel, with rustic bare Elizabethan timber-framing and ceiling beams in several of the rooms. The dark oak panelling reaches the ceiling of the dining room. The mantle pieces in all four rooms are richly carved. A Baronial style function room with a minstrels gallery appears to be a later addition (c.1960 or earlier) with a bar added later. The main bar is a modern addition in an adjoining property.
