One of the best pubs with a view in the UK. Lovely Al Fresco Lunch today, in the mild winter sun. Glad the portion sizes have

Stayed for 3 nights in the lovely two bedroom flat above the pub. A very picturesque location, with direct access to some great walks.The pub is quite small but very welcoming, with good food and beer.I highly recommend the Boat Inn as a place to stay for exploring this part of the Wye Valley.

Good lunch stop during Wye Valley walk. Beef stew and crusty bread from specials board excellent. Butty Bach went down well sat in front of the log fire.

The service was friendly and the food reasonably priced but it was a dirty place. It obviously had not been cleaned for a long time. The windows were especially filthy. On the wall, a food hygiene rating of 3 (out of 5) was displayed. I’d say that was generous. My food had a hair in it so they didn’t charge for that meal. Came away feeling slightly sick. The location is nice, especially for walks along the river and through the woods.

Great pub with a warm welcome. Lovely pub food and a great atmosphere. Better to park in Redbrook pay and display and cross the victorian bridge as very little parking on the Penallt sideThank you

Great pub , visited many times over the years. Lovely selection of beers and cider, and a nice menu. I had the fish goujons sandwich which was very tasty. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pub has lovely views over the river Wye . Car park situated across the river a pleasant 3 min walk away.

Lovely little pub with a great beer garden overlooking the scenic river. We had two lunch wraps which were nice but my only complaint would be they had way too much hummus in them. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again if in the area!

Great location for a lunch break on our journey to South Wales. Great food & service?. Get there early, though, on a Sunday as it gets very busy with walkers.

Love this little inn, been coming here for years and it always feels like you're stepping back in time into what a traditional pub should be like. Cozy and friendly on the inside, and with spectacular views from the outside. Simple but delicious food - I had the platter (a kind of Ploughman's Lunch), the other half had a delicious steak baguette and little one had the kid's fish fingers. Everything freshly prepared. Sitting on a bench in the garden, overlooking the old railway bridge and the tranquil waters of the Wye, on an unseasonably sunny Sunday lunchtime - it's about as good as it gets. The beer is always fantastic, too.

True,genuine hospitality. It’s cosy and friendly with good beer and the occasional quiz for entertainment.And curry night! Here in September it’s all quieter and probably very different to the summer but a must do for a really characterful pub.You’ll end up chatting all night!

Very friendly folks. I stopped here on my Wye Valley walk after a few hours walking. They have some nice local ales. Lovely stop right on the river.Food & drinks: Nice set of local ales.
