The Queen's Arms

I had the pleasure of staying at The Queen’s recently on a business trip. I stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and attentive. My room was really comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely return.

Great food, friendly staff including Carly, Amie and olly, food was out quick. However water in the bathroom took its time to warm up. Nice quiet room with a nice ambient temperature. Clean bedding and a nice sized shower. Staff were lovely and accommodating.

Stayed in the Wishing Well. Lovely room, quite dark and not so sure about the dark chintzy wallpaper but certainly different! Fabulous large Jacuzzi bath with some nice complimentary essential oils. Lovely comfy bed, although duvet was a bit on the heavy side. The best possible view ever - horses :) Very nice breakfast, staff friendly, attentive and professional. Meal in the restaurant in the evening was average (mine was very good (fish) and my husband's was not so great (pie). Cleanliness was poor in the room. Thick low level dust everywhere and I accidentally spilt some water on the bathroom floor, when I mopped it up with a bit of tissue I was horrified to see how dirty the floor was! Expected better than this for a luxury room with a high price tag.

My wife and I enjoyed a cracking weekend at the QA end of January - we took our dogs too, and even they were given a warm welcome. The atmosphere in the pub was lively and relaxed: we chatted away with staff and locals like old mates - a really cosy vibe in fact, and the food was def a proper notch or two above 'pub grub' - we even cancelled plans to visit mates for dinner on the Sat and got them to join us at the pub instead. The room was a bit too hot on arrival, but we just opened a window adjusted the temp when we went for dinner and that sorted it by the time we went to bed. Also nice and clean and comfy. Great room. Great pub.

I loved the quiet upstairs room. No noise from the car park or pub that I could hear. Beautiful view of horses and a tranquil village. The lighting was probably the best ever. Switches at door and bed. Plenty of light for reading. The bathroom light has a blue glow for about 5 minutes, I suppose so you can find your way to bed. Passage lights are off normally but respond to movement well. Bed is comfortable and kettle and coffee supplies left nothing to be desired.

The owner of this pub absolutely ruined my wedding day. We had a small wedding at the registry office with a meal after at the queens arms. We originally planned to stay in the garden room all night but my sister had surprised us with hiring a hall. My sister is not from the area so when she had an idea of doing something special she rang the pub to see what they could do. The staff at the pub said to speak to the owner who could give her the details of a hall nearby. My sister spoke to the pub several times about the day and what she had planned. My best friend even went in that morning and spoke to the staff so they would have all been aware of the plans. My husband paid for the room fee for all day even though we only had our meal there. When my friend went back later that evening to collect some platters she was belittled and humiliated when the owner started shouting at her telling her that they had lost money because they were had left. My friend then had a panic attack in her car after as she was all by herself. When my husband raised this issue via email it was all blamed on my sister saying that she should've made the pub aware of our plans. They clearly did know because they gave her the recommendation for the hall. I will absolutely NOT EVER return and this is one of the memories from my wedding day. I urge people not to go here unless they want abuse shouted at them by the owner. All the bar staff and he's and Tanya who both myself and my sister arranged the day with were absolutely brilliant and it's such a shame it was ruined by A vile human being that happened to be the owner.

The owner of this pub Freddie thought it was acceptable while drunk to shout and intimidate a young female in the bar area of the full pub while she was alone. Both the barman and the head chef (Damien and Dave) apologised on his behalf accepting that his behaviour was outrageous and that he had in fact been out shooting and drinking all day. I will ensure to tell everyone we know in the village and surrounding areas about our encounter with Freddie and the pub, as will all 30 guests we had dining in pub. We will also encourage everyone NOT to visit The Queens Arms for any large functions as this is how the owner has decided to treat paying guests ON THEIR WEDDING DAY. Damien and Dave, if you see this- thank you for all your help along with the other bar staff / waitresses for everything you did on the night and for looking after us all so well. It’s such a shame that Freddie acted the way he did as we was all extremely happy with the service we received prior to this incident taking place.

Have had many good meals at rhe Queens but last Sunday very poor. Lukewarm soup served in a cold dish. Was a tasteless gloop rather than a soup. Roast beef excellent but served on a heap of possibly kale. One piece of Parsnip and Carrot,two poorly roasted Potatoes. Egg nog Creme Brulee! Was taken off bill with soup. Polite and helpful young staff but there seemed to be no management .

We enquired about holding a private event, the staff were so helpful. The bedrooms look amazing and great private rooms to hold events. Great selection of drinks and the location is beautiful, didn’t try the food as they had stopped serving but hope to go back very soon.
