We enjoyed staying at the Brocket Arms for weekend. The room was clean and comfortable and equipped with what we needed (kettle, water, wardrobe and desk/dressing table as well as TV and en suite shower room). The room was modern but retained its 16th century character with exposed beams in the bedroom. We especially enjoyed the food which was high quality, well cooked 'pub fayre' (steak, sausage and mash, fish and chips and a good selection of 'proper' puddings) and breakfast was excellent too. There are opportunities for some lovely walks both in the immediate vicinity and beyond and the B&B is convenient for wider travel in the area while being situated in a charming village.

Brocket Arms

The Brocket Arms overnight stay was really good. The staff and locals were nice & chatty whilst sitting next to a large natural fire place eating lovely food and taking a well earned drink. Would of preferred a full breakfast instead of a continental one but all told, I found it a lovely and relaxing stay.

Dreadfull, dont go!

We were awoken around 6.15 with an almighty clattering noise. Apparently they were restocking the cellar, metal barrels going down a ramp into the cellar, directly below our room! Im honestly lost for words, what kind of hotel does that. Speaking with the people doing it didnt get them to stop and when i went looking for staff they were conspicuous by their absence.

Extremely Old Character Pub full of Olde world atmosphere delightful.Very friendly Locals Cottage style bedroom ,but very Old fashioned Shower , ,basin & a Old Fashioned Toilet with a chipped toilet seat such a shame as we do like Modern showers etc these days , but appreciate it’s expensive to refurbish them. Dinner was good no fast food served there , but only a small continental breakfast on offer .in the morning. Great location wry quite lovely Village with Bernard Shaws house to visit , providing you ore book.

The accommodation is typical of an old pub but the bed was comfortable and the shower was fine. Staff were very helpful and we enjoyed the continental breakfast and good evening meals. Parking is very limited, especially when the pub is open and although you can park on the road outside this gets very full too. The area is picturesque and you can do some nice walks. The roads around are winding single track lanes with passing places. Local taxis are available but are expensive.
