We stayed in a room in the annexe to the main pub building, I guess it might be a former stable block? Everything has been refurbished to a very high standard and the room was perfect. We travelled with a dog and staff were incredibly welcoming and there was a dog friendly area in the bar where we could eat breakfast.

My partner and I and my elderly parents had a last minute stay at the Guinness Arms as we were attending a family party nearby. We could not fault the rooms, service and breakfast the following day. It was very clean and inviting and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return in the near future. Thank you!

Lovely change, will comw back. 1 change only
Beautiful setting, usually stay in other hotels in the area but will definitely add this to my hotel rotation I had to leave for work at 6am and as the pub was all closed and no key drop box it was difficult to find a place to hide the room key before i left. I think the only thing id change is being mindful about people staying there for business

Lovely comfortable room and unique in appearance. We found the room to be very quiet at night time during our weekend stay. The food in the restaurant was very good and seemed popular with the locals as well. Make sure you book a table for dinner if you are staying. Great staff, great service!

We had a very comfortable stay here, my only gripe is the addition of 10% to my bills for "service". That is what you expect to be covered by the quoted price.
