Poor
Cons:

Poor facilities, room was really dirty and no staff on site to speak with. Carpet and rug covered in mud, stains and bits of dirt. Toilet dirty, window frames in black mould. Facilities bare minimum and no restaurant left on site to compensate for lack of amenities in rooms. As it was our wedding weekend we ended up having to book a different hotel and wasted the money here. Tried to go through customer services following the stay but was ignored by Booking.com. Wouldn't recommend staying here to anyone.

Pros:

Location good and ease of self check in for late arrival was great

Cons:

Room was a little dusty and very old, also bathroom shower not great. The room was freezing cold despite heating being on. Likely the fact it’s a barn and poorly insulated.

No facilities on site
Pros:

Daily housekeeping was nice.

Cons:

Noises from the room upstairs, even hearing them go to the toilet. Booked it with no cancellation, which was fine as we knew we were going. No mention at time of booking that the pub/restaurant would be closed. Only got the email after I had booked telling me this, so had to resort to sandwich and pot noodles. Not happy

Noisy guests can be heard in other rooms.
Pros:

The hotel was in nice village

Cons:

The hotel, bar and restaurant are closed. The rooms are outside, but you can hear everything the people to the sides and above you are doing. This lead to us being very tired due to the ongoing noise throughout the night.

The rooms are tired, the sofa bed broken and terribly uncomfortable.. and the shower a dribble. Not great value for money.

Nowhere near as good as we had expected!
Pros:

The location of the Royal Arms was perfect for our wedding party. We booked one room ourselves and our guest booked two others, one of these rooms was up to standard. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good.

Cons:

Wifi was impossible to access in any of the rooms, the showers had a poor flow and the standard of housekeeping was not up to standard. The facilities looked extremely dated in two of the three rooms and there was quite a lot of dust around. One member of our wedding party said that they would rate their room as 1 out of 5.
