The Butchers Arms Freehouse

Awful one night stay in a pod strewn with cigarette ends in a plant pot outside the door, a shower that didn't work, door that didn't open, bathroom door that didn't open without a struggle and barely edible breakfast that hadn't been anywhere near a chef.

Lovely friendly, family run pub. Stayed a couple of nights, the room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Food was really good, and the breakfast was amazing! Would definitely stay again, and recommend to anyone wanting a short break.

We booked a room here as we were visiting the area and friends. The room we booked was comfortable and clean with good facilities. Tea and coffee making and a tv. Bed linen very soft and excellent quality. Breakfast was a full English and delicious. This has recently been taken over and we will definitely be recommending to our family and friends!

My wife and I went to The Butchers Arms for a meal one evening around a week ago. We did wonder if it was actually open as it was so overgrown and unkempt outside, but decided looks could be deceiving! My wife had a burger and I had chicken, the chicken was overcooked and dry, my wife had a burger and the bun had obviously been microwaved as it was chewy! Would have mentioned it to the woman serving had she seemed in the least bit interested (blond with glasses) we stayed for a couple of drinks as we were meeting up with friends. Around 8.30 a chap, we assumed to be the chef, came out and stood at the bar and proceeded to down several pints, chatting to anyone that would listen getting notably louder with each drink, moaning about work. We decided at this point to leave as it was getting very uncomfortable. Very disappointed as we don't come to visit very often, had eaten here a few years ago and a very nice meal.
