The Stapylton Arms

Arrived at the hotel to quite a welcoming person on the desk who arranged a couple of drinks and a sandwich, all good so far. However having been shown our room which was I think squirrel room I found it rather tired & very cold. I walked down to reception to enquire about the heating and was told the boost had been put on so should be ok. It wasn’t still ice cold radiator so complained again, no response. As I was sick of going up & down stairs I rang the hotel from my room and eventually was brought a plug In electric oil heater. As it turned out ours wasn’t the only room to suffer this problem at least we had a blind at the window which another couple didn’t! The food in the restaurant wasn’t much better, an overpriced prawn cocktail & scampi ( signature dish! ) which was like eating cotton wool, terrible. Not an experience I will be repeating & the so called owners never made an appearance throughout the whole stay but left it with a poor manageress who was rushed off her feet. I understand it’s recently changed hands, well not for the better

Arrived here boxing day have been before havent stayed over. Cosy bar area attentive staff. Room was awful tiny and tired, very tired. Meal in the evening was mediocre 10.50 for a diabolical prawn/ salmon cocktail. My husband ordered a sirloin steak, 36 pound !! Like a steak from weatherspoons. Do not expect what the pricetag alludes too. I have to say staff were lovely, such a shame

Quiet Saturday night away Lovely hotel in a beautiful location, amazing friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast amazing value for money

Tom & Jean We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Staplyton Arms. We used it as a base to explore the stunning local countryside and it was also conveniently based for our dinner reservation at the Black Swan Restaurant which was only a 5 minute drive away. The hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and comfortable and the lunch/breakfast was very good too. Overall I would really recommend a stay if you’re looking for a base to explore the area.

Great place to stay Lovely staff, comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Well worth staying for dinner, great menu choice. I had the cheese souffle starter borh days , delicious. Will definitely stay again if we're in the area.

A gem in the middle of nowhere! Our second visit, delighted with the room. Evening meal was fantastic and breakfast set us up for the day ahead. Look forward to finding an excuse to visit again.
