The Howard Arms was fantastic! The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. We were worried because our room was right over the beer garden, but everything was closed and quiet by 10 pm. The tavern decor is really nice and we had a very good quality dinner and breakfast there. It’s in a quaint small village and we took some lovely walks directly from the Inn. I highly recommend for a weekend or romantic getaway destination!
Amazing stay at The Howard Arms. Lovely big room , very comfy bed and pillows. The food was excellent . We had dinner a couple of nights and breakfast every day . The staff are so helpful and really friendly , nothing was too much trouble . Will definitely stay there again
The Howard Arms is a real gem. Would highly recommend for a peaceful and relaxing getaway in an idyllic and beautiful location. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and luxurious. The dining room and bar were 5 stars!! The entire staff goes above and beyond. 🌟
A delightful two-night break in this beautiful cosy inn. We stayed in The Old Beams room, which is lovely. Breakfast was delicious and served in the beautiful dining room. The bar area is so atmospheric with the flagstone floor, beams, amazing fire and candlelight. The food was also fab, staff were very friendly. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for a winter break.
The Howard was a superb find for us. We had a wonderful room and loved sitting by the fireplace in the pub. Breakfast and dinner were great. Everyone should stay here!
We both really enjoyed our selfs, the hotel was excellent and the staff couldn’t be more helpful, we had a lovely meal Friday night the food was excellent,
If you’re looking for an authentic Cotswold experience, this is your place!
It’s set in the beautiful countryside, away from the crowded villages. The Inn is adorable, and tastefully furnished in period design. The dining room serves delicious, English dishes, and there’s a cozy pub, along with a back garden area for relaxation! The only negative was no air conditioning, but we had a floor fan that kept us comfortable.
Room, surroundings and staff all first rate.
Menu and variety could use some tweaking. For those, like us, staying for more than a few days the same 5 or 6 items leave little choice especially when some items are not cared for. Overall a great stay.
We liked the personal service and the facilities and comfort in the bedroom.
One slight criticism is that the meals were too big for us which meant food was wasted or that we over ate!
We suggested that the hotel ask whether customers would like a small or larger portion. We accept it is difficult to judge.
