What guests think

Across reviews, The Carpenters Arms stands out for friendly staff, comfortable spacious rooms, and a scenic countryside setting, with many guests noting clean accommodation, quiet stays, and a relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere that suits short breaks and longer visits.

Dining is widely complimented, though a few report slow breakfast or dinner service during busy periods. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with pleasant views, but some lack air conditioning and a handful in the main building experienced noise or minor maintenance issues. The rural location is peaceful and attractive, best suited to guests exploring the area by car. Expect a comfortable country stay with welcoming service and peaceful surroundings.

This is a lovely place Behind the pub, there is a courtyard surrounded on two sides by purpose built tasteful living accommodation and on the third side the pub, and the final side by a very pleasant view of open countryside. In the centre is a lovely designed garden with some tables to enjoy a evening drink The food was very good and the service excellent Parking plentiful The pub is in a very small village, with a pleasant old church worth visiting, but there is little else for a visitor to do on foot. The idea therefore for us was to use it as a base to explore the area by car and have a good rest with some good food Would definitely like to return again to this very special place

Friendly staff, beautiful location with amazing view, very quiet in the rooms. Plenty of off-road parking. Rooms were large and had high ceilings as did the bathroom which was odd. We had a disabled bathroom which we didn't need. On Saturday night the dining room was full and the noise level made it hard to talk to the person across the table and the service was slow as it was at breakfast. The food was very good when it came.

Fabulous room, only slightly let down by empty picture hooks and non working lights. Bed is 2 singles pushed together which made it difficult to cuddle up, but otherwise very comfortable night.

Although we only had a short stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The room was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant was delightful and the food was excellent. The staff were all helpful, friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble, making our stay extremely pleasurable. We would definitely go back, perhaps for a little longer next time.

A nice looking place with gorgeous grounds. I had a room in the main building which was OK but you can hear the TV in the room next door. The window wouldn’t close (thankfully it wasn’t cold), the bathroom door didn’t close properly and the bathroom sink tap is just odd. It looks the part but could do with some effort on the details as it isn’t exactly cheap. Not a bad stay at all but not sure I would rush back.

A real mixed review because we were misled by the room description which clearly stated air conditioning was in the room. When we arrived it was clear it wasn’t and we brought this to the attention of the manager who apologised and said she would contact her manager and get back to us. We contacted Expedia to ask them why their description was misleading and explained we wouldn’t have booked the property if we had known. The problem we had was that there was no availability at this late stage to move to. The garden facing rooms do have air con but the in house rooms definitely don’t. To make matters worse the noise that you get as you are just above the entrance and exit area is less than ideal. On a positive note the food that we had was good but the room issues spoilt our stay.

This is a lovely country hotel, i stayed last weeknin a garden room. This week I chose a room in the Hotel itself which was great unfortunately the staff went home and left music playing in the Restaurant down below and this kept me awake ! The Management compensated me in the morning for the inconvenience which was good of them. The food was excellent and the ambience was great so I will definitely stay again .
