Beautifully decorated, spacious, individually designed rooms. Cosy with excellent facilities. Easy check-in. Attractive, welcoming restaurant serving exceptional food. Bar area could have been warmer, very cold in fact! However, would highly recommend from an accommodation and food perspective

Great first stay at the Joiners Arms. We took our dog and they had a bed, ball, bowls and treats in our room. Sunday lunch was amazing as ever, service prompt, extra gravy not a problem. Couldn't fault breakfast, really impressive and the check-in/check-out was easy. Would highly recommend.
