The Meyrick Arms is the village pub in Goodrich, in the Wye Valley. You may know it as Ye Hostelrie. This was the Meyrick Arms: the 1851 census records it by that name. Now it's the Meyrick Arms again. Same team, same fires, same roast. The inn was remodelled in its Gothic style for Sir Samuel Meyrick, the armour collector who built Goodrich Court, and his architect Edward Blore drew the design. The pointed windows and turrets are still here. We have four rooms upstairs in the pub and a cottage that sleeps nine. The rooms are cosy rather than big, because the building is old. Coppett and Castle are newly refurbished, with new shower rooms. Wye and Huntsham have more character, low ceilings and their original shower rooms, and they're the ones that take dogs. Breakfast is included: in Godric's Café at the back of the pub Tuesday to Sunday, and a self-service light breakfast on Mondays, when the café is closed. The pub kitchen does lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday, and a Sunday roast that's worth booking. On Monday evenings the bar opens at 5pm with a pop-up food truck. Goodrich Castle is a seven-minute walk. Kerne Bridge, the canoe launch and the Wye Valley Walk are 15 minutes on foot. Muddy boots and dogs are welcome in the bar.
