About The Red Cow

A traditional High Street inn rather than a large hotel, The Red Cow keeps things compact with just five en-suite rooms above its bar and restaurant in the centre of Royston, Hertfordshire. That size gives it the feel of a proper local pub with rooms attached, rather than a chain stopover, and 24 hour reception means arrival isn't tied to fixed hours.

Rooms come with the practical essentials covered: en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi, drinks available in room, and accessible options for those who need them. Downstairs, the restaurant serves food with kids' meals on offer, and there's a bar and outdoor seating for anyone happy to linger over a drink. Breakfast is included as part of the stay, and pets are welcome, so it suits guests travelling with family or a dog in tow.

The High Street setting puts pubs, restaurants and local amenities within easy reach on foot, while the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside offers walking and cycling routes, fishing spots and watersports for those wanting to get outdoors. Free on-site parking is provided, which is worth noting for a town-centre property.
