Lovely, peaceful countryside stay.
Pros:

The Royal Arms is set in a beautiful location with views across the countryside, it is a peaceful and charming place to stay. Some may say it is outdated but we felt that the older decor added to its character. The shower was hot and we had plenty of space for the family. We would stay again if passing.

It is also in close proximity to the Battle of Bosworth Heritage Site and museum which is definitely worth a visit, there is a lovely cafe/restaurant there.

Cons:

The cleaning could have been to a higher standard, an extra bit of dusting/cobweb removal wouldn't hurt. More bottled water in the room for 5 would be great.

Good location for what we wanted to do.
Pros:

Location was close to an event we were attending for a couple of days. There was also plenty to do in the area and Sutton Cheney was well off the main roads which was nice.

Cons:

Our room could have done with a bit of TLC, handle missing off toilet (just a big bolt sticking out), shower tricky to get up to temperature. Room was nothing like the advert, don't expect a four-poster or tester bed, just a double cottage bedroom.

Great property, beautiful location.
Pros:

Self check in, the property was clean and the bed was particularly comfortable.

Cons:

Unfortunately not something we normally have to worry about but given the weather it would have been nice to have a fan in the room, also being able to use the dressing table as a dressing table rather than have the TV on there.

Very disappointed.
Pros:

The location and the courtyard set up.

Cons:

Cobwebs, so little tea and coffee bits, radiators not in during night and the portable heater was faulty and dangerous stated for 1 minute and turned off. Inside the heater sparking and dangerous. Water in morning was tepid. No members of staff onsite the whole time there. So couldn’t speak to anyone about issues. Sent messages to place to find out how to book in and still haven’t received reply. The whole play needs updating. Furniture from Mid century.
