We were staying at a B&B in the area and this restaurant was recommended to us. We are so glad we chose Orles Barn and our experience there was 5* from start to finish, including the friendly waiter hanging up our coats. The food was superb and beautifully presented. We followed the waiter's recommendation of the homemade Toblerone cheesecake for dessert. I can usually take or leave Toblerone and cheesecake, but this was heavenly! It was a wonderful meal and experience.

Beautiful building that I have wanted to visit for many years and was fortunate to visit with my husband and son, due to our usual restaurant being unavailable. How lucky were we (sorry usual place, but you will not be dumped) ? What stunning food in a relaxed well run restaurant, the steak was so tender and tasty, from starters through to main meal, mega crispy side order of chips and excellent dessert, and delicious merlot, the service was beyond 5 star and we wish we lived closer to return on a regular basis but we will return. Thank you everyone from the valleys ?

Had another great meal here. We've been back 3x now and never disappointed. The staff are very polite, friendly and provide great service. Well worth a visit if you get the chance.

We booked a table for 12 for Sunday lunch yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious - quite outstanding - and the service was excellent - also great value!!! Highly

Another visit to this super restaurant, this time a large group of us were invited by friends for a birthday celebration. Excellent quality food, beautifully presented and first class service. Highly recommended.

This place is exceptional. We are both vegetarian and used to not being the focus of a restaurant’s cuisine. This food was amazing, my partner who has been a vegetarian for 34 year’s says this is the best food she has had at a restaurant. I gather from the reviews that the rest of the chaos r is to the same standard. They keep their menu simple which I was fond reassuring and obviously everything is freshly prepared.

Outstanding service, warm and friendly interaction with guests, nothing seems too much trouble.An open fire greeted me in a cosy dining area by the bar, and the food blew me away.I had a sea bass fillet, which was cooked perfectly, moist flaky fish with a crispy salty skin = simply delicious.Once my food had settled a little, I also shovelled down tasty fresh fruit salad, all the fruit perfectly ripe and tons of it.Highly recommend the restaurant.Though stuffed, I'm already looking forward to breakfast.I was visiting locally on business so cannot fairly rate the location as I chose this hotel for its proximity to where I was working.

A real lucky find for us as we travelled through the area. We stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast. Is a family run operation which feels homely and welcoming from an accommodation perspective. What really sets it apart is the dining . High quality ingredients and cooking skill plus outstanding service.

We had such a lovely stay at orles barn recently. We stayed in the Annie Elizabeth room which has a luxurious deep bathtub and a large comfy bed- perfect for a relaxing break. The TV is even on a bracket so you can watch from the bath if you want! The Barn location is perfect for dewsel court or exploring the wye valley. One warning- not much is open for dinner on a Sunday but there’s lots of lovely pubs that do a great Sunday roast so fill up on a late lunch but make sure you leave room for the absolutely delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning.Roxy is also an absolute gem of a human- I was completely gutted when I realised I’d left behind some sentimental family earrings but she found them and sent them straight back to me in London. I cannot thank you enough!!
Excellent service, well presented good food and wine, delicious, six of us had dinner and couldn’t find fault with anything.

Lovely ambience from the moment you walk into the residence and then the lovely characterful restaurant which is understated but relaxing in nature. Wonderful high quality cuisine and accompanying wine choices make for a sumptuous evening as you explore a culinary delight. I had the duck starter and my beau the lovely leek and potato soup with added haddock pieces both were very tasty. For main I had the Welsh lamb and also the beef for my lovely lady the lamb with accompanying pea shouts wonderfully tasty jus and a side of seasonal vedge made for perfect mains. A lovely bottle of Barolo helped wash down the three courses which culminated with the simply delicious Toblerone cheese cake with fresh black cherries and Chantily cream. You need to visit this superb restaurant to appreciate the wonderful locally sourced produce and go away feeling replete and also pampered by the host Roxy and her wonderful chef husband Matt. Thank you both for a wonderful culinary adventure we aim to return in the Spring/Summer to appreciate some further super Ross on Wye hospitality.

Blown away by how good my stay was. I loved it. Ate in the restaurant, Roxy lit the open fire in the cosy bar area which instantly gave a warm atmosphere to match her hospitality. The food is outstanding. I plan to make a special trip to visit again.

Amazing B&B. The owner was very pleasant and attentive nothing was too much trouble for her and she made our stay very enjoyable. In the morning we had a fabulous breakfast with runny poached eggs and fried bread. I would have no trouble recommending this B&B to anyone.Noteworthy details: There is a small bar at Orles barn and also a restaurant for residents.

My husband and I recently spent the weekend at Orles Barn, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! On arrival we were met by Roxy, a very friendly and helpful host. Our room was perfect, including everything needed for a stay... kettle, teas/coffees, robes, ironing board, hairdryer etc. The food was wonderfully presented and absolutely delicious. We could not fault our weekend away at Orles Barn. We would definitely return and recommend.
