History
Orles Barn goes back to the 14th century when it was one of a number of farm
buildings on this site. The store with bedroom above is the only surviving part
of the original structure.
Edging the front lawn is a low wall being the remains of a long building in which
wooden clogs were once made for local and passing workers.
The Lithe map of 1839 shows Orles Barn to have been part of a large but fragmented
farm estate owned by one Mary Platt.
King George IV returning to London from Ireland in 1821 was greatly annoyed by
a traffic jam in the narrow streets of Ross-on-Wye. A letter of Royal displeasure
followed prompting the local towns people to build a by-pass.
The barn was converted to provide accommodation in 1960 and further enlarged
in 1970 becoming a hotel. |

Welcome to Orles Barn’s website. We
believe this should act as a window to all aspects of what goes on here and therefore
rely on the adage, “a
picture paints a thousand words.” However as “the proof
of the pudding is in the eating”,
nothing could replace the experience of staying or dining here without stepping
inside this 17th Century barn.
