    Pros +

    • Great location/distance of the bar to the room. The room had a fridge which is always useful. The staff were very polite and accommodating. The rooms were clean. A very nice historical building.
    • Nice comfortable room with good facilities including a mini fridge. Very close to the castle if you’re attending a function there. Friendly staff and great pub with good food
    • Very good continental breakfast in the room. Friendly staff. Nice bathroom (shower only no bath)

    Cons -

    • No mirror in the room area to get ready in. Only continental breakfast available. Which was a muffin, cereal bar, granola and yogurt. A bit basic but I guess it's better than nothing.
    • TV in the room has very poor reception.
    • Water pressure in shower not good. No hairdryer in the room & full length mirror in the room would be useful. Pub don't do sandwiches and only snack available early evening was a bowl of chips.

    Friendly welcome, comfortable room with well stocked fridge for breakfast. I liked having breakfast in the privacy of my room and good to have a full size mug of tea. We were going to a wedding at the castle and it was very handy for that, a short walk up the road.

    My friends were in the next room (there are just two rooms together) and I could hear them chatting and moving around and the extractor fan. Not a problem for us, we are friends, but something to know if you are a very light sleeper.

    Ideal for what you need. Comfortable beds, lovely traditional pub and good service. We stayed for a wedding at Clearwell Castle and the location was perfect.

    2AstburyPosted on: 3-2-2025

    The location to the wedding venue was the only benefit

    The beds were really uncomfortable with the quilt being tiny so every time you turned over to try and get more comfortable, a blast of cold air would hit you. No WIFI password was given nor was there any info in the room. The carpet hadn't been hoovered. The "continental" breakfast was minimal, more of a light breakfast. Shower pressure was terrible. I have emailed the establishment on 29th January but am still waiting to hear back

    Lovely pub and restaurant attached. Easy access.

    Unfortunately hot water was off in the morning.

    Very friendly staff . Excellent location. We had a continental breakfast in our room , that was fresh and meant we could eat breakfast at a time that suited us . We had an evening meal in the pub , this was delicious.

    The guys at the Butcher Arms we're great! They very friendly and super helpful when I had some questions/requests before arrival. Location is perfect for Clearwell Castle events!

    Small amount of noise outside in evening, but can't be helped and finished before bedtime.

    Really friendly staff, the continental breakfast and drinks provided were yummy and nice to eat at our leisure and the meal we had at the pub was DELICIOUS!!

    The only issue we had was the lack of full length mirror, our stay was due to a wedding at the castle and we would’ve liked a full length mirror when getting ready.

    8WilliamsPosted on: 10-14-2024

    location was close to Clearwell Castle where we attended a wedding. Price was very reasonable.

    We weren't too keen on the breakfast.

    9DarrenPosted on: 9-30-2024

    Location was unbeatable, room was adequate, bed was creaky, with bedding and little on the tight side. Breakfast was just right. Pub and it's food could not be faulted at all, perfect.

    Bedding could be bigger, plus a little less creaky.

    9LileyPosted on: 9-25-2024

    Excellent location. Close to Clearwell Castle for wedding celebration. Breakfast provided in the room continental style.Fridge and coffee making facilities also in the room.

    9GranvillePosted on: 9-17-2024

    Charming old property, basic but clean & had most things needed for a short stay. Friendly staff.

    10EvansPosted on: 8-7-2024

    The room was good. It was a perfect location for the wedding being held at Clearwell Castle.

    Would have been great if there was a mirror (preferably full length) in the bedroom so I could see to dry my hair. I asked for an extension lead, which they provided. When in the shower I found the door was hard to push open.

    1) Superb restaurant2) Staff were very friendly3) Bathroom facilities were good.4) Good value for money5) A lovely atmosphere in the bar.

    1)The room only had single beds of which were not very comfortable.2) Continental breakfast could have been a little more generous.3) The size and channel options on the TV we’re limited.

    8DavidPosted on: 6-19-2024

    Great room and super value. Good continental breakfast and very quiet location. Good beer in the pub.

    10ClootiePosted on: 6-16-2024

    A brief, but very nice stay. A warm welcome received at the bar and check in was swift. Both available rooms have outside access up a stone staircase, so one can come and go with ease. Our room was very comfortable. I loved the breakfast bar & high stools. The included Breakfast is continental style and left in the room for guests to enjoy at their leisure. Tasty fresh muffins, breakfast bars, fruit, yogurt and granola. Milk & orange juice can be found in the fridge to accompany the hospitality tray of tea & coffee etc. We left early the following morning so instructions were to leave our key in the key box. So all very efficient.

    I could hear other guests voices when they returned late evening to room 1, but thankfully not for long.
