The Carpenters Arms

We were in area and chose this hotel as simile price to a premier inn but looked like it had some charm and food was reviewing well. Turns out great choice, room was clean and had everything you needed. It did look like it could do with some maintenance as sink tap very wobbly and sink had hairline crack but both worked. And the us didn’t detract from experience. Food in restaurant was excellent and staff were all really friendly. If ever in area again will definitely return as nothing to complain about at all.

Booked this hotel to visit friends who live locally. Upon arrival it wasn't clear where you checked in but we waited at the bar and booked in there. All Covid-19 instructions were given and we went to our room. The room was amazing. The decor looked fresh and bright as if it hadn't long been redone. The room was spacious and had a roll top bath under the window. The bathroom was clean and also had a shower available and miniature toiletries. The bed was large and comfortable. We had drinks in the garden by ordering from the pub app (Covid-19 regulations). We made our way into the retaurant for our booking time and were seated promptly. The food was delicious and the service was great. The staff were very attentive. I would definitely come back here to stay and even for the food. A lovely establishment all round

Popped in yesterday for lunch. Food was pretty good. However the experience was let down by disinterested staff. Everyone just seemed miserable. Stood at the entrance for a good ten mins and not one of the staff acknowledged us. 5 different members of staff and not one even looked up to great us. Shame.

There was a pipe leaking in the bathroom and the floor was wet and had been wet for years as the tiles were stained. The room was not cleaned properly. There was dust on the side cabinets. Black around the shower. The room it self was number 5 and was above the kitchen. so it was extremely hot, had to sleep with the windows open even in the storm. That meant that you could her the kitchen staff swearing outside. Would not stay again.

We stayed here on Christmas Day night as it is just a short walk from our family. Lovely room, complete with a bath in the bedroom. Very friendly team, great breakfast and the pub and restaurant are clearly very popular. Would recommend the accomodation, breakfast and restaurant.
