Guest Reviews

• Jacob (8/5): -

• Llorens Tarridas (8/5): -
• Stuart (10/5): Great public house with rooms and fantastic food and service - Fantastic establishment located in a lovely village. We had a fantastic lunch as well as a great stay. The staff were really helpful and we would not hesitate to return.
• Damian (10/5): - Staff were really helpful and accommodating. Very grateful to them. Its a short walk from the castle were I was attending a wedding
• Daniel (9/5): 9/10 - 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. 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.
• Nicola (8/5): Great stay and had a good sleep, bed was very comfy. - I booked the butchers arms as it was close to clearwell castle where I was attending a wedding. On arrival i was greeted with a friendly welcome, the room was small but had everything I could needed. Beds were comfy, had the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. I would return again, and this time enjoy the food in the pub that smelt so good. Breakfast was included in the room, which was yogurt, oats, muffins and cereal bar. Would have preferred other options, maybe a cooked breakfast/ toast.
• paula (8/5): A beautiful pub which does amazing food, but we probably wouldn’t stay again - We love coming back to the pub we used to visit often when we lived near, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. We thought the breakfast was poor
• Paula (10/5): Perfect Pub & Restaurant - Kerry and Scott both Extremely friendly & helpful and made stay delightful both rooms very clean and comfortable. Nothing all exceptional and would definitely stay there again.
• Rebecca (10/5): A lovely pub/restaurant with character offering great value rooms with everything you need for an overnight stay com - What a lovely quirky place the Butchers arms is. It had a lovely country pub feel to it and the room was comfortable, clean and full of character. Staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you.
• Andy (10/5): -
• Alan (9/5): -
• Jason (7/5): Pleasant stay - Ideal for attending a wedding at the castle up the road Steps to room were steep, door headroom was low and creaky floorboards
• Oliver (8/5): Great location for attending wedding at Clearwell Castle - Great location, comfortable and clean. Good value Check-in not possible before 12 meaning we had to leave the wedding to come and check in.
• Michael (8/5): Great, convenient - Clean and accessible. The food in the pub. Tv didn’t work properly but was not really an issue.
• LCripps (10/5): - Staff were super friendly. Rooms clean and comfortable The showers were a little small. But I'm also 6'4 210.
• Ryan (8/5): - We attended a wedding at clearwell castle. .Accommodation was a short walk from the venue,. It had it's indepentant access so there was no time limit to returning. Accommodation was clean and comfortable the only flaw was the TV had no signal. Staff were welcoming friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a disappointment the option of a full English breakfast would have been appreciated.
• Avril (9/5): Great place to stay for a function at the castle. Great value for money. - 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 TV in the room has very poor reception.
• Sally (10/5): Brilliant - would love to return for another stay - We loved everything about the Butchers Arms! We stayed for two nights as we attended a wedding at Clearwell Castle - the rooms were comfortable & had everything we needed and more. Breakfast compromised of various items located in the room and the fridge - milk, yoghurt, cereal, juice …. We also had an evening meal in the pub which was superb. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the service was great. Highly recommend for a perfect weekend break The only advice is to take a mirror for getting ready / hair drying. There is is one in the bathroom
• Ngoc (9/5): hidden gem in clearwell - good, nice and clean room, good continental breakfast nothing
• Darryll (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (5/5): Passable -
• Anthony (10/5): Staff were great on arrival rooms nice great location if you have a wedding in the castle - OK More choices for breakfast
• Jean (6/5): Room basic but clean and bed comfy enough. O.K. For a couple of nights.Would stay again. - Very good continental breakfast in the room. Friendly staff. Nice bathroom (shower only no bath) 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.
• Janeo5 (9/5): Good location and friendly welcome. - 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.
• Lindsay (9/5): Superb -
• Daniel (10/5): Good value for money - 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.
• Astbury (2/5): Disappointing stay - 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
• Bridie (8/5): Very good -
• Dafydd (8/5): Lovely room and staff. - Lovely pub and restaurant attached. Easy access. Unfortunately hot water was off in the morning.
• Naomi (8/5): Very good -
• Jane (9/5): Superb - 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.
• Sarah (10/5): Great little place, very reasonable price and perfect location. - 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.
• Leigh (9/5): Cozy, comfortable stay - 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.
• Williams (8/5): Wedding stay. - location was close to Clearwell Castle where we attended a wedding. Price was very reasonable. We weren't too keen on the breakfast.
• Darren (9/5): Superb service location, food. Would definitely come again - 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.
• Liley (9/5): Excellent - 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.

• Evans (10/5): The staff were really helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable, continental breakfast was good. - 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.
• Anthony (9/5): Overall, an enjoyable stay - 1) Superb restaurant 2) Staff were very friendly 3) Bathroom facilities were good. 4) Good value for money 5) 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.

Nothing.
• Perston (8/5): Very good -
• David (8/5): Comfy stay, good pub, lovely location. - Great room and super value. Good continental breakfast and very quiet location. Good beer in the pub.
• Clootie (10/5): Short, but excellent stay - 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.

• Peter (9/5): A good stay would recommend to others - Although the breakfast was well planned I would have preferred eating not in my room. Menu for dinner was good & the steak perfect..

The location was wonderful. We ate at the restaurant and the food was really good. If the weather had been kinder we could have sat outside where they had tables and a lovely waterfall type feature. Very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. only thing I can think of was to have a hook on the back of the bathroom door. Needed somewhere to hang clothes for a shower. Nothing else I could find fault with.

Very close to the castle which is where our event was. Continental breakfast was a great light breakfast before we headed off.

There was a good variety of breakfast options (muffins, granola, yoghurt, fruit etc) and liked that fresh milk was provided for hot drinks. Bed was very comfortable.

The restaurant food was lovely and a nice continental breakfast was put in my room in the evening ready for me to eat at my convenience in the morning.
