The Potters Arms

I gather it's recently changed owners and the reviews definitely do not reflect how it is/looks now,from the outside it seems like a typical picturesque english village pub/guest house,the beer garden is really lovely. However,when you step inside,the interior is drab and dated whilst the rooms are possibly worse,very tired with dirty looking carpets. There were a lot of flies congregating on the window in our en suite which immediately put me off. On the plus side,our beds were comfy and the breakfast was tasty,but the service was really poor. On checking in we were advised not to go for breakfast too early so we opted for 0900,when we went downstairs there weren't any staff present although I could hear coooking in the kitchen. After perhaps 20 mins our order for coffee was taken,which arrived another 10 mins later. I had to ask for breakfast and the total time for that to arrive was around 1hr 10 mins. I also asked if we could have orange juice and was given one glass a few minutes later,not great considering there were two of us dining. I suspect that there simply isn't enough staff on duty and possibly those that are there don't have much/any service experience. It really looks like it's being run on a shoestring and is suffering because of this,judging by the previous glowing reviews,I suspect within a few months this will be a place you'll want to avoid at all costs.

Loads of potential People were really welcoming! The pub is lovely and they offer lovely food which is delicious. The room was quirky and had loads of potential but the bathroom was really dirty. Toilet bowl had stains from person using it. The shower seal was brown and the shower head was covered in limescale. Also the kettle top had marks on it and in closer inspection inside it had old water inside and also covered in limescale.

We were due to arrive outside the normal check in times, so we spoke to Richard who arranged a key pick up point and gave clear concise instructions. Nothing was too much. Thank you all for a great stay, we would definitely come again.

A very friendly and comfortable pub inn.

Lovely friendly locals’ pub. Staff welcoming and food amazing. Both the stay and food were great value. I shall visit again.

A lovely find. We arrived late but the super friendly staff rustled up two delicious pizzas (well worth a try😀) Breakfast was lovely and makes you think we missed out on the main menu by being late. Our room was clean but a tad tired. That said it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. A nice quiet location. Give it a go, you won’t regret it!
