We ordered the fish and chips. It was served with a small side of both salad and a large helping of peas and a large helping of tartare sauce. It was nice with a crisp batter and white fish not the grey pulp reconstituted fish that some pubs chips serve. Reputed to be the oldest pub in Wales and I can well believe it. As soon as you enter treading over cobblestone you are faced with a door carbon dated door of about 500 years. It was frequented by Judge Jeffries known as the hanging judge and indeed there is a rope running from the upper to the lower floor ending with a noose and the atmosphere was appropriate to the age of the pub my medium colleagues and I sensed a couple of spots of activities but I wish we had more time to investigate properly.

Stayed here recently, and it was great to visit the place and finally see it for ourselves. Landladies and staff were pleasant, welcoming, and really accommodating. They ensured that we had everything we needed. We stayed in room 2, the room is huge! You really get the sense of just how old the building is, so pleased we came. We had a pleasant evening meal, drinks, and a cooked breakfast the following morning - prices all very reasonable. Will definitely look forward to returning :)

My husband and I visited for a meal whilst on holiday. As we had our dog with us we ate in the back room. The good points first. Well, think there's only one really and that was the price. Two meals and two drinks (one glass of wine and a soft drink) came to £28.50. Not bad but glad we hadn't paid any more. On to the not so good points. Considering it's the oldest pub in Wales, it did not have a particularly good atmosphere. Old beams and deep windowsills maybe, but it felt more like an ordinary old fashioned back street pub. Gaudy patterned carpet, sticky wooden tables, bottle of Sarson's. Small plastic laminated menu on which none of the dishes sounded particularly appealing. My husband went for the chicken, ham and leek pie with chips and I ordered a vegetable taglne with rice. Unfortunately I was informed a few minutes later that they didn't have any tagine so I chose the chicken in a pepper and whiskey sauce with new potatoes. When the food arrived it didn't look very appetising. My husband's pie was ok but the chips could have been hotter and there were only about a teaspoonful of peas. My chicken was a bit dry although the sauce was ok but the new potatoes were only just cooked and pretty tasteless. Presentation left a lot to be desired. The guy who served us didn't smile once or engage in pleasantries. All a bit disappointing. Needless to say we won't be making a return visit.

Whilst staying away with friends for the weekend we wandered into this pub for a few drinks, only to find we were obviously not welcome. Most of the tables were reserved for people eating which was fine as we squeezed onto two small tables but the service and attitude of the staff behind the bar was awful and far from what good service should be. We sat in the wrong place and needed to move around and then one of our party who was holding but not using her vape was spoken to in a very stern tone that you could not vape in the pub. As intelligent adults we knew this, the looks and tone meant that some of our party left without even finishing their drink. If you want a welcome please do not enter this establishment.

We decided to venture out and follow our new book "100 pub walks" and chose to hike up mount skirrid which had a pit stop at skirrid inn. We weren't prepaird of how steep and muddy we were going to be, so wasn't sure whether we would be let in the pub, especially with two dogs. Ange made us feel so welcome we cannot praise her enough. She took us in and made it cosy and even said we probably shouldn't be waking back where we parked the car originally, as the road would be dangerous to walk and if we decided to go back up the mountain it would get dark and it's very far. She helped us find a taxi and even offered to drive us back to the car if we were still there when she finished work. We were overwhelmed with her kindness. As we waiting for our taxi we got to know some of the locals who were also so welcoming. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cosy pub to chat and meet friendly locals!❤️

Atmospheric, unpretentious how I have missed Inns such as this. Totally unique. We were meet with such a warm welcome, the food arrived swiftly and was plentiful and delicious. I would suggest that you reserve a table because even on a inclement January lunch time it was busy.

We stopped at this beautiful inn late afternoon after a lovely return walk to Gwyrne Fawr reservoir. The inn was quiet when we arrived, but we noticed that all of the tables were reserved for that evening. We had a coke, 2 x pints of Stowford Berries and just two portions of chips which came to £18.50, which we thought was quite expensive. There were leaflets at the bar outlining the amazing historical importance of the inn, which was fascinating reading, and it was easy to imagine this inn as the hub of activity at the base of the Skittid mountain in days gone past. details were taken for track and trace, and tables were spaced appropriately outside where we sat. Staff were pleasant and helpful. a lovely stop after a long and muddy walk in our damp Welsh weather.

We stayed at the Skirrid Mountain Inn Friday 29/04/2022 and I cannot speak highly enough about this place. Ever since I saw this Inn on a paranormal programme I have wanted to spend a night here, so when I contacted the Inn and was told they were fully booked my heart sunk, but the staff went out of their way to fit us in on Friday. We had dinner in front of the old fireplace which was amazing. I ordered the beef curry and my partner had the steak & ale pie and we were impressed with both meals. If you want to go just for a meal I would suggest booking a table as this Inn gets very busy. As for having a paranormal experience, I was let down but that is what I get for sleeping with earplugs in my partner heard a baby crying outside our room's door but there was no one there, when we arrived we checked the room and the cupboard doors were closed, but when we got back from dinner the doors had been pushed in (strange as we never touched the cupboard). We woke up to a fabulous full english breakfast. All in all, I think this place is fantastic, the building is steeped in history and the area is picturesque. The staff are amazing and the food is great

I telephoned Ang at the Skirrid as we wanted to stay occupying all three rooms with our daughter who has a medical assistance dog. Ang was amazing, very helpful and cheerful. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome, the restaurant food is very good, the ales are also very good and I was truly surprised at how comfortable the rooms are. We had a fantastic time and would recommend staying overnight if you have the opportunity. The breakfast is possibly the largest breakfast I have ever seen! Well done to the team at the Skirrid and thank you from all of us.

Sorry, but I only had lunch, but I do know a few friends who have booked all three rooms. Just give the Skirrid a call - they are exceptionally helpful.

Hi,
I would assume accommodation is based on two factors :-
Budget & Accomodation access at 04:00am
Top end of budget........ you could try The Angel located in the center of nearby Abergavenny as I would assume they have a 24hr reception etc.
Or
The recently build Premier Inn situated off The Heads of The Valleys road on the outskirts of Abergavenny.
I would suggest that both hotels are an approximate 15 min drive from the Skirrid Inn.
Hope these suggestions help?
