About The Green Man Inn
Fownhope is a quiet Herefordshire village set among the county's cycling routes and walking paths, not far from Hereford itself, and it's here that The Green Man Inn makes its home. The inn gives guests a comfortable base for exploring the area, with free on-site parking removing one of the usual hassles of a countryside stay and Hereford Cathedral and the River Wye both within easy reach.
Rooms are en-suite and family options are available, with drinks in room and room service adding a bit of comfort after a day out. The restaurant and bar are the heart of the place, serving well-prepared meals and a notably good breakfast, while the garden and outdoor seating area make the most of the setting in warmer weather. Packed lunches can be arranged for days spent walking or fishing nearby, and the inn also serves as a wedding venue, complete with its own bridal suite.
Staff are friendly and attentive, with Amanda mentioned in particular for her welcoming manner, though service can be slow at busier times. Laundry service and luggage storage are on hand for longer stays, and with a pub, restaurants, and watersports all close by, there's plenty to fill the time beyond the inn itself.

What guests say
We stayed here for a family wedding and couldn’t recommend highly enough. The rooms were immaculate and stylish, the pretty gardens were shady on a hot day, and lunch and breakfast were delicious and very nicely presented. Amanda on Reception looked after us with great warmth and efficiency and did everything to make us feel welcome. It’s a lovely ☺️ lace.

Stopped here on our castle road trip of the UK. Its a very nice hotel with lovely rooms and a very nice beer garden that has an outside bar that I guess is used when its busy. The hotel is also in very nice location. Also we booked it very last minute so was very well priced. There is plenty of parking and has free WiFi. Staff are friendly and the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that the kitchen was closed 2 hours earlier than stated hours so we had to go elsewhere for food. At night this place/area is very dark (not even any street lights) with just a few external pub lights on and its very quiet and very peaceful. Loved it!

Professional and informative check in. Room was very clean and had all the amenities required for a pleasant stay. Restaurant staff were very tentative and the menu was very well organised. Breakfast was absolutely brilliant. When I pay for a hotel room I am paying for all of the amenities within the hotel. The one thing that makes me return to a hotel is the people. They are the difference that makes the difference. How they engage and interact is crucial for a stay. Today at breakfast I found a true gem. Funny, engaging and happy. The best morning start you could wish for. Thank you Amanda for starting my day off with a smile.

We are regular visitors to the Green Man, but usually for a drink and a meal in the beautiful setting of the Inn. This time, our son and his lovely wife had their wedding at the venue and we couldn’t have been more thrilled at the outcome and experience. Fownhope is a gorgeous location, and the facilities there in the way of car-parking, rooms and the quality of the food are all superb. The preparations in the run- up to the day were well-organised and staff could not have been more accommodating. The way that the team worked tirelessly throughout the day, to ensure we had a first class experience, was deeply impressive. The transitions between the main room as a ceremonial setting, dining facility and then a dance floor in the evening, were seamless. The bedrooms were wonderful, with so much space and attention to detail. The day was truly wonderful, in a way that many other venues would have struggled to deliver. As father of the groom, I want to offer my most sincere gratitude to the whole team in ensuring our day will remain so beautifully, forever in our memory. Lastly, the price for the day was ‘very’ reasonable. Our special day could have been no better in any way. Thank you once again to all at the Green Man.
