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

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.

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.

The breakfast was sufficient as a continental . Liked the way it was presented . 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Although the breakfast was well planned I would have preferred eating not in my room. Menu for dinner was good & the steak perfect.. Our room was comfortable & clean well designed. Staff friendly & helpful we would visit again

Breakfast in our room, although adequate was unexpected

Really convenient location as I was a guest at a wedding at the nearby Clearwell Castle. 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. Property were really accommodating to early check in request and there’s plenty of parking space.

Would have liked a full length mirror in the room as was getting ready for a wedding
