We have used the White Lion several times during our yearly canoe/camping trips and have been very impressed. The pub is situated in an ideal position on the river bank if you are doing one of the longer canoe trips or if your just looking for somewhere in Ross-on-Wye to camp overnight. The camping area is a small size but... More

We took all the rooms to stay in Ross for our sons wedding nearby. Fantastic stay from Friday to the Monday. Dave and Jaqui couldn't have been more helpful. Great hosts. The whole wedding party met up there for the Sunday after the wedding. The pub and staff went out of their way to keep over a hundred Scousers and... More

We stayed in the wonderful company of Dave and Jacqui for two days. They made our stay very pleasurable and we would liked to have stayed longer. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dave being a keen fisherman was full of useful advice which helped us make up our mind to come back again in the fishing season. Food... More

My beer could not be faulted and... More

The food was excellent with a good choice of dishes, such as Kangaroo and Zebra! And Ian's homemade Lamb Pie??? We had the option of eating out at... More

I canoed there with a group of 20 friends over the summer. We had prebooked the camping and had a meal and breakfast in the pub. Yet despite this valuable income, the Landlord and Landlady were really rude and unfriendly. Instead of a friendly welcome we just got a moaning landlord who criticised everything we did whilst we were doing... More

We note from this review that is a copy of the review posted in July which i did reply to. As i replied before this was your third group visit to The White Lion - the facilities are the same as they have always been and as in previous years we have never allowed anyone to walk into the pub... More

They were rude and unhelpful from the outset... My advice: Camp in the field on the other side of the river and eat and drink in town. Beware.

The problem arose as once again tents were placed in an unappropriate place even though you were shown where to put them. We do have an agreement with the Parish Council that the tents will be tight up against the wall and not overlapping the public right of way. It was not me that dealt with you as i was... More

A rude attitude to canoeing groups seems to be the problem. The pub is shooting itself in the foot, as all the people who camped (10 or so tents' worth) the evening we were there went to eat dinner elsewhere as they received such an unfriendly welcome. Why does the landlady have such a chip on her shoulder about those... More
