Tucked away in the idyllic hamlet of Carey in Herefordshire, the Cottage of Content invites guests to unwind in its cosy bar, where local ciders, real ales, Herefordshire gins and good wines are always on tap. The relaxed, child-friendly atmosphere extends to the restaurant, where diners can savour dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar if kept on a lead, making the pub a welcoming base for walkers and countryside explorers.

Five inviting guest rooms cater to weekend escapes and longer rural breaks. The Wye is a spacious double with an en-suite bathroom and sweeping views across the front of the inn, while Poachers offers a warm, intimate feel, a garden-facing outlook and an en-suite with a bath. Salmon looks over the hills behind the Cottage and pairs its double bed with an en-suite shower room. Guests needing twin accommodation can opt for Anglers, which overlooks neighbouring fields and provides twin beds, a hand basin and shared bathroom access, dressing gowns are supplied for comfort. Weir is ideal for families, combining twin beds and bunk beds to sleep up to four, again with a shared bathroom and dressing gowns provided.

Every room includes a complimentary breakfast, TV, hair dryer and a hospitality tray stocked with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits.

After a day exploring the Wye Valley, guests can return to the bar to warm themselves beside the roaring fire in the cooler months, chatting over a pint of local ale or a crisp cider. Head chef and owner Richard Moore oversees the kitchen, showcasing the best of Herefordshire’s seasonal produce in every dish served at this welcoming country retreat.
