The Downe Arms

Loved the Indian restaurant within the pub, food was so flavourful best curry I’ve tasted, the rooms are in a separate building just off the back, so don’t worry about your room being tainted by curry odours. Pub does food as well which looked good, would definitely recommend

Stayed in this hotel a few times…,as always lovely staff so helpful…,great location…

Check in was up until 10pm I tried calling prior to this as we was looking at getting there just before 10 and as we arrived at 9:50 there was no staff in sight no one was answering the phones to help us with checking in

It was a lovely stay nice hotel lovely city will be back soon.

Really friendly staff, who were only too willing to go that or do extra to make our stop soooo good. Excellent food and drink on site, cannot say how pleasantly surprised and impressed we both were.

Rooms in annexe adjacent to pub which was good with adequate parking and lots of lical eaters and pubs around. Garge across road was handy also. Rooms are basic but very comfortable all you need. Did not eat at pub so cannot comment on food but .did have drink there. Brewers up road aldo serve food. Nice sray.

The communal area was very dirty and the room was not much better either. It smelt very musty as did the bedding and towels. Although the building looks to have been built in the last 20 years, there is very little sound deadening and you can hear literally everything in the adjoining rooms (not great if you get a snorer as a neighbour!) The only positives I could find was the Indian restaurant above the pub which was amazing, and the village itself seemed nice!

This is a lovely place and the staff are wonderful. Room was great, and I would have given an extra star however; the bathroom shower was awful. The grime and build up of mould and dirt was caked on the shower head and all around the seals. A spatula would have removed significant amounts of dirt cake. This should not have been allowed to build up, which would have taken months of neglect. I don't wish to offend, but this was a big problem which made me not want to shower, so I had a squaddie wash instead, at 5 in the morning before work, this is not great.

As expected, comfortable, did the job as a stopover on a long journey. Staff welcoming.

Accommodation was okay bed was clean but the bathroom was extremely dirty bleach works wonders but not in this case very disappointing didnt dare shower on 2nd day went home for a clean one. Staff and food in the pub was great but will not stay over ever again. I would post the photos of the disgusting bathroom but not able to.

Friendly and helpful staff, assistant manager very helpful, quickly sorted out a minor problem in the bathroom for us. Bed was a bit lumpy but we did sleep well. The meals in the dining area are excellent, great choice, great quality and generous portions! Good parking facilities and easy to book in.

Pleasant, efficient staff 👍 good 🍺 and food 👍

Good alrpund staff roos food

Convenient for a stay to break a long journey. Good evening meal. Friendly staff.

Good price and easy to access. However, the window wouldn't open (a plug in fan would suffice), the taps wouldn't turn off (new washers?), the beds were soft and squeeky (need replacing) and the plastic soap dispenser was so old it fell off the wall to reveal mould underneath. That said, we had fabulous pizza at the nearby Plough Inn!

Lovely room with everything you need. Kettle iron hairdryer fridge. Clean and comfortable. Great pub and Indian restaurant above. Easy walk to other pubs. Would definitely stay again

Dated room, poorly maintained. Cramped. Toilet seat broken. Bathroom badly painted and repairs were poorly completed. Tiny mirror, scaled taps. Noise from upstairs. Really warm all night (it had been 24°C during the day). Little ventilation - sash window wouldn't stay open.

It was very relaxing and convenient for attractions close by. Rooms are very clean and tidy as you would expect. Convenient parking on site. All in all a great place to stay.

Good location. Walkable to local shops and restaurants

Rooms are neat and tidy. Small mini fridge for yse uf you need it. Tea/ coffee making facility.
