Mildmay Arms

I cannot say enough good things about Mildmay Arms. The staff were very welcoming, the food was excellent, and the tutorial on the game of Skittles was awesome.

It's a lovely old pub in a beautiful village Queen Camel that is full of old world charm. Quite remote with only one shop that we could find. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us in with our bags. The parking out the front was really handy. We ate the first night and the food was amazing. It was very noisy at night with music on into the early hours but the room was clean. Breakfast was adequate. We wanted to dine in on the Sunday night but found out they'd stopped serving food at 5pm, we didn't see anything to that effect and as it's a long way from anywhere it was lucky we had some snacks with us. Altogether it was a pleasant stay.

The room was ok for the price but what really let it down was the bed. The mattress was a poor quantity and so was the cheap pillows and bed linen. The breakfast was very basic with just continental on offer.

Room was reasonably clean and the beds, while a bit on the soft side, were ok. I didn't like the green safety light over the door that stayed on all night (I like a dark room to sleep) but I understand why it is there. On a plus note there was plenty of storage - not that we really needed much for an overnight stay. Kettle was full of limescale - needed descaling! All in all everything was a bit tired looking. The bathroom could certainly have done with a freshen up - mouldy grouting in shower for example. Breakfast was very basic, advertised as continental but basically it was (limited) boxed cereals and toast. There was a fruit bowl and some flavoured yoghurts, along with a bit of salami, cheese slices and cheap croissants - non of it looked very appetizing, not was it particularly healthy or of good quality. Staff we encountered were very pleasant and polite, however we couldn't find anyone to give the key to when we left. One of the reasons we chose to stay here was because it did food in the evening - unfortunately, apparently, the chef had called in sick so this wasn't an option. They were able to suggest a nearby pub, however after a long day I wouldn't have chosen to drive out again, particularly as it then meant one of us couldn't enjoy a glass of wine as someone has to drive back.

Friendly and attentive staff

I thought, bearing the price in mind, that this was an excellent place to stay. Our room was clean and comfortable with a really nice bathroom/shower. The landlord was helpful and friendly and we have no complaints at all.

We had a lovely stay there, unfortunately due to long holiday, we can’t extend our stay for another night. Lovely dinner and brekkie. The owner gave us advised on what to do in Cornwall (our next destination).

A nice genuine local pub with accomodation - everything was fine. Staff very friendly and helpful

Friendly landlord, good food

Cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Bedding with stains, old towels with stains of bleach, electric shower extremely noisy (sounded like a plane). Breakfast was included but no one to serve. At 8am we came down to have the breakfast but the bar/lounge’s door was closed, as well as the bar’s door. Tried at 8:20am and nothing; knocked the door and no response. We had to leave the inn with no breakfast. No information whatsoever about meals timings or WiFi information. Do not recommend at all. Avoid it!
