  • Family- and dog-friendly pub site a mile from Leominster on the A44
  • A 20-minute drive from Ludlow; 25 minutes from Hereford
  • Home-cooked meals, play area and 24-hour access to facilities
If you’re the type who loves the outdoors but is also rather fond of finishing a day out with a good feed and a proper pint, then it’s likely you’ll do rather well indeed at Barons Cross Inn. This welcoming pub site is in a highly handy Herefordshire location, a mile outside of Leominster on the A44 and sitting in a sweet spot in the middle of a triangle that has the Malvern Hills, the Shropshire Hills and the Brecon Beacons at its points. All of that means heaps of walks to be had in the vicinity, along with pretty villages to potter around (some of the best are linked on the nearby Black & White Trail driving route). Whatever you choose to do by day, you’ll surely be keen to get back to the pub, where the chef preps meals made with locally sourced ingredients (but kept at pub prices) and there’s a tempting collection of beers, ciders and wines. There's often something going on, such as quiz nights or live music, and everyone is made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. Restless kids and dogs can be entertained at the play area and the neighbouring field respectively. Guests have 24-hour access to a shower room and washing-up facilities. Breakfasts are available every day, and you’re welcome to light up a barbecue if you fancy doing your own cooking (there’s a supermarket five minutes’ walk away and a bus stop just outside the pub for easy access to shops).

Davina B.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Received a warm welcome on arrival, facilities all explained. Access to pub toilets, there is a free shower and alsan point. A convenient place to camp when visiting family in Leominster. Near to town there is also a Morrison's supermarket on the door step.
We didn't eat in pub on this occasion, there was a karaoke night on Friday eve, very entertaining . Would definitely stay again when visiting Leominster.

Disliked The only negative is behind the pub is a bit unkempt, it would benefit from a clear up It does let the area down a little bit. The shower works well though would benefit from a slip mat on tiled floor as it's very slippy when wet . It wouldn't stop us from visiting again though as the people who run pub were very friendly .

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Excellent customer service by the owner who has been there a year and is trying hard to better the campsite all the time.

The food in the pub was excellent, plentiful and a good choice on offer.

Easy walk to supermarket close by or a twenty minute walk into town!

We will definitely recommend to friends and will be back hopefully to see bands that they are hopefully going to be doing in the grounds of the campsite.

Good play area for children as well .

Local attractions

Start with a little stroll around Leominster, a mile away – it’s a handsome market town with a grand priory and streets lined with independent shops to poke around in. For more active times, it’s also got a swimming pool and a golf course (about 10 minutes’ drive from the pub). If you’d like to take your urban wanders a little further, check out the foodies’ fave Ludlow (20 minutes’ drive) or head into Hereford (25 minutes) to see the cathedral, the Mappa Mundi exhibition and the Hereford Cider Museum. Keeping it all a little more country, venture to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (20 minutes) to get up close to the animals, wander through Westonbury Mill Water Gardens (15 minutes) or learn a little bit about cheesemaking at Monkland Cheese Dairy (five minutes). If you’re heading out for a hike, the Shropshire Hills, Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons are all within 40 minutes’ drive.
