18th century inn, a former cider house and mill, named after the trows (undecked sloops) that once plied their trade on the rivers Wye and Severn until the 19th century. The lounge diner at the rear has a nautical theme and gives splendid views of the Wye Valley as well as access to a large beer garden. Note the three sturdy beams, possibly made from ships masts, supporting the ceiling of the main bar that has a big fireplace and a pool table.On the main road (A466) close to the bus stop, it offers an excellent base from which to explore the locality, the Wye Valley designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Live entertainment once in a while in the lighter months, but more often in the winter which may include clairvoyant evenings. Note only bar meals available Monday evening while the restaurant is open all day during Summer months.
