Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had heard good things about the Rhydspence since the new owners took over so we thought we’d go there for dinner. We were very impressed: the Inn is as lovely as ever and we had a warm welcome from the staff and owners. The food itself was excellent, not a big menu but very appealing, with good sized portions and very tasty. It’s certainly a big step-up from standard pub grub. The whole experience was very enjoyable and we will definitely be returning.

Staying at The Rhydspence Inn was a truly magical experience. Built into the heart of Whitney-on-Wye, the new ownership have made a tremendous effort with turning this Inn into a new, exciting venture for it's local community. The two new Owners, Freddy and Craig, along with a crack staff have whipped this place into fantastic shape in the last 2 months and with a sumptuous, ever-changing menu, we hope that they have a fantastic Christmas and an amazing New Year! We will absolutely be coming back, hoping to see this place within all it's glory in the Spring and Summer.

The Rhydspence will always hold a special place in our hearts, it is one of the reasons we moved to the area 6.5yrs ago! First visit since the new owners took over and we are so impressed. Lovely welcome, new Czech lager Pardál on draught (and only 3.8%), fab Sunday roasts all round (beef especially was cooked beautifully, probably the best I've ever tasted as part of a roast dinner). A special mention also for the chutney that came with the cheese board - so delicious. They were also very accommodating of our dog, she's a rescue and can be a little jumpy around other dogs. We will definitely be back soon.

I can highly recommend the Rhydspence Inn. The new owners are very welcoming and it is a lovely place for food or just for drinks. My Guinea fowl roast was one of the best roast dinners I’ve ever eaten. Horace the resident poodle is an absolute star too. We will definitely be going back!

Very happy to welcome new owners to a local institution. Friendly and efficient service. Delicious starters (perfect range and great accompanying breads). If they carry on as they are, serving reasonably priced, well cooked and local favourites, the future looks bright.

Lovely place. Recommend it. Ancient and attractive. Good beer, cost atmosphere, friendly hosts. Close to Hay on Wye. I would love to learn about the history of the place and visit it again. Set in its own grounds.

Sunday dinner was delicious. Great portions and home cooked, added bonus was the leak and cheese side. Would suggest adding extras for a cost; i.e. Yorkshire pudding, more roasties for example. Another way to make more money and allow guests to indulge. Beautiful setting inside and out.

When booking a table I asked for the area next to the bar. This is the nicest section which they confirmed would be fine. Upon arrival that table had been given to another party. The food was average but we all agreed that the chips were just bad. Very oily, not crispy. Rhyd Spence : never again

Called to book half a dozen times - with no answer. We were passing so decided to pop in - the place is beautiful, imposing and well kept with a lovely car park, great view and gorgeous beer garden. But it was closed - no opening times - no contact numbers or information. The tables were out, the umbrellas were up and there was a sign asking you to place your order at the bar - so there was life there somewhere. We continued on our journey - and on the off chance a day or 2 later (on the return trip) - we called in again. Alas, still closed, still no information.
