Staff were excellent. All staff were eager to please and were professional throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the food slightly let us down. My wife's main course kn our first evening was overly salted so she had to leave it. I tried it and also found it salty. First day breakfast was good but 2nd day breakfast was warm but not hot. Other than these minor points, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. The room was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was a real joy - proper menu with food cooked to order and polite servers - not the self service buffet we are all used to these days. The atmosphere in the lobby and lounge is warm and homely. We cannot fault the hotel and will recommend it to family and friends.

This was a wonderful stay. My husband and I are traveling on our honeymoon and they made it so special for us. From special notes and Prosecco in our room to remembering where we wanted to sit for dinner and putting us in the same spot for breakfast. Rooms are nicely updated (carpets are a bit tired) but the location, trad music, bar and restaurant are amazing. Highly recommend a stay at the Arnold's Hotel.
