History

The Hostelrie in Goodrich has been inviting travelers and locals through its doors since 1625 and has always maintained a reputation for quality service, excellent local food cooked fresh to order and outstanding ales and wines. Whether you live in the local community, a visitor leisurely exploring or enjoying the many outdoor pursuits available in this area of outstanding natural beauty, a business looking for a venue or need us to cater for that special occasion, then we at The Hostelrie, including the locals, will always provide a warm welcome.

The building was first recorded in 1728, named the Crown & Anchor and owned by Jonathan Crumpton, who was ordered to appear before the Justices of Westminster for “disturbing the peace.” Between 1819 and 1832 it became a Parish Workhouse but then re-opened again as the Crown & Anchor and was run by Richard Elmore.

The present exterior Goth style happened around 1845 when Sir Samuel Meyrick of Goodrich Court bought the premises for £400, renovated it to run in keeping with the ‘court’ and renamed it the Meyrick Arms. The ‘Hostelrie’ came into being in 1851. The building still has 17th century character but with 21st century facilities, such as modern en-suite, catering rooms and self-catering holiday let with colour TV and free Wi-Fi.

We provide superior and comfortable en-suite accommodation in beautiful surroundings. We also serve delicious breakfasts with homemade muesli, preserves, freshly baked bread and fresh locally produced sausages and bacon. Our aim is to make your stay with us memorable, whether you decide to come for a couple of nights or have a short break at any time of year. Easter and Whitsun special breaks away with family or friends are always popular. We have 7 comfortable double/twin rooms all with en-suite in the B&B. Special offers are available throughout the year!
