We stayed in The Kenelm Room which was absolutely outstanding. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The ceiling had a skylight where you could look up to see the stars and watch planes from the local RAF base fly over. There was a good selection of complimentary drinks incl fresh coffee, bottled water and fresh milk alongside nice biscuits and a selection of teas. The water from the shower had excellent pressure and there were a lovely selection of toiletries available if you needed them as well as shaving equipment and dentistry sets. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were perfect to ensure that a good nights sleep was had by all. We enjoyed an exquisitely cooked evening meal with a fabulous array of wines and an excellent selection of spirits also on offer. Breakfast was equally as good and everything was hot and well presented. Lucy the manager was warm and accommodating as was Amy and not forgetting Josh (waiter) who was exceptionally polite and courteous. The Guinness Arms went far beyond my expectations and I was more than impressed. Well done all of you 😀

Great stay the staff are brilliant
What a great stay! Rooms are well appointed, love the decor. Plenty of in room refreshments to choose from. Good internet, iron etc. Great nights sleep, lovely and quiet. Parking is easy, the bar area is cosy and chilled. Restaurant has good food, evening meal fantastic, lunch (a Guinness burger) was probably the best ive had. The staff really make this place shine, very attentive and helpful. Ill definitely stay again, although this was for business in the area, the stay was actually a treat.

Lovely property--beautiful, traditional, clean throughout. Our room (Daphne) was perfect for our twelve-day stay. While we didn't take every meal there, we had many dinners and breakfasts and each was wonderful. Fresh, locally sourced (their own estate), and deliciously prepared. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Eclectic but stylish lodgings.
Amazing individual courtyard style rooms close to the pub/restaurant. Shower was broken which was dull but all other aspects made this worth a visit.
