THE most amazing fries! Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Lovely lovely pub!
Very friendly staff ,great breakfast and dinner , spotless clean comfy beds , would stay there again . Thanks .
Lovely pub that serves excellent food. We had been here once before about 3 years ago and decided to go back for lunch and it did not disappoint. Also great service and very reasonably priced.
What a lovely pub! We popped in for a quick drink. Our truck wouldn’t start and we had to get recovery organised. Staff were incredibly helpful and the owner even took time to organise the traffic in the car park to enable the tow truck access. Whilst we waited, we experienced good service, great atmosphere and the friendly buzz of happy customers enjoying their evening. We will be back again!
Stayed overnight, lovely room exceptionally clean. Evening meal was beautifully presented and delicious. We hope to come back to the area for a longer stay. Thank you.
We've just returned from a 2 night stay at the Cromwell arms. We were visiting friends and it happened to be the Green Man Festival on on the Saturday and it was a lovely thing to see. We had the family room right upstairs in the eaves. We had a meal in there with our friends on the Saturday evening all went for the Ribeye steak at £23.95 we thought what a bargain well what can we say absolutely delicious so tasty we went for the port and stilton sauce and if I was forced to say anything that you would change I would say the sauce could've been thicker very runny but don't let that put you off it was delicious. We also had breakfast in the hotel and one thing we were really impressed with it was piping piping hot so much so you could see the steam coming off the breakfasts. Very friendly and accommodating staff and we would definitely stay here again love love loved it
We stopped off at the pub / restaurant on our way off there moors. We had the most amazing land chop and fish and chips dinners and would definitely recommend eating here if you are staying here or paying through.
Had the best ham egg and chips of any pub… chilled and relaxed, steeped in history - outsiders welcome

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
