The Farmers Boy Inn Guest House - A 17th-century country inn with award-winning dining and modern annex accommodations

The Farmers Boy Inn Guest House offers an award-winning 17th-century country inn experience with an oak-beamed restaurant and bar featuring log fires. Bedrooms are located in a modern annex, each equipped with an en-suite shower room, free WiFi, and flat-screen TVs with Freeview. The restaurant, led by Head Chef Richard Bodger-winner of over 40 National British Pie Awards-serves locally sourced dishes, including signature pies and a selection of cask ales and local ciders. Nearby attractions include Puzzlewood, a 6 hectare ancient woodland featured in films like 'Harry Potter,' and Symonds Yat Rock, known for its scenic river views. The International Centre for Birds of Prey, the oldest dedicated birds of prey center in the world, is a 4 km drive away. Guests can arrange activities such as clay pigeon shooting at Chessgrove Shoot or explore the Forest of Dean's Sculpture Trail at Beechenhurst, a 20-minute drive via the A40.

Pros

The restaurant has won over 40 National British Pie Awards, showcasing locally sourced ingredients.

Rooms feature modern amenities, including free WiFi and flat-screen TVs with Freeview.

The inn is pet-friendly, welcoming dogs and children.

Two 120kW rapid EV charging points are available onsite for electric vehicle drivers.

Cons

The modern annex rooms lack historic charm compared to the main 17th-century building.

Some nearby attractions require a short drive, as public transport options are limited.

“This inn strikes me as a genuine find, perfectly suited for short escapes into peaceful settings. The excellent food, friendly staff, and dog-friendly atmosphere create a welcoming environment, while the comfortable accommodations ensure a restful stay; it's a place I'd recommend for those seeking a blend of relaxation and quality dining.”
