We stayed for two nights . The location, and the outside dining area is absolutely stunning. The pub itself is quirky and charming - as you'd expect from a property of that age. Our meal on the second night - local crab linguini - was delicious. Breakfasts were very good too. An idyllic, and truly tranquil spot. All in all, highly recommended.

I had arranged for a room directly overlooking the river and had received confirmation by email some weeks ahead. When we arrived we had been unceremoniously 'bumped' to a room overlooking the fire escape with a distant view of the river. The reason given was that someone else had booked for a week, and our booking had 'been moved'. The member of staff we dealt with wasn't very helpful or friendly. A pity because the stay was otherwise lovely.

Very kind friendly staff in a very busy place by the river. Shown to my beautiful room and explained everything I needed - plenty of teas coffee milk etc and biscuits. Bed was so comfortable and furnished beautifully. Lovely ensuite with bath robes too. Thank you I will visit again when I have more time to enjoy the breakfast and the area.

It wasn't that I didn't like but - there was a notice on the wall by the bedroom door to say breakfast time from 8.30 and if required an earlier breakfast please tell reception, which I did as wanted to go early and although they were kind they said it wasn't possible as staff would need to be in earlier. Which I understand but don't have that written if its not possible.

Beautiful location on the river. The pub was charming and the rooms were lovely. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. We had dinner on the river and the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and the service was great - we couldn't ask for better. The breakfast was just as delicious with a choice of cooked breakfast, cereals, toast etc.

Our only issue was the noise of a generator when we had our bedroom window open. It was too warm to sleep with the window shut, and unfortunately, the kitchen was below our window, so the generator made a loud buzzing sound. Maybe a fan in the bedroom could resolve the issue?

Location is beautifully peaceful and the added river setting is really lovely. The evening meal was piping hot and tasty.

Compared with the evening meal, the breakfast was served on a cold plate, which meant that it wasn't as hot as it could have been and also a little rushed. You didn't really get time to have cereal or fruit etc before the cooked breakfast was brought to table. Also a bit disappointed that although described as a garden view, our room looked out onto a flat roof and car park and was located up a very steep staircase, This was not great for my wife who has leg issues.

This was an unexpectedly solo trip for me (a friend couldn't make it), and I decided to go on anyway. I am so glad I did. It has been an amazing experience. The venue and it's setting in its location at Bow Bridge are stunning, and you really don't want anything else for the whole time you're there. I will visit again, it was beautiful there, staff were lovely and room really nicely appointed.

The only thing I can say I disliked was the 'triple cooked chips' on the menu, and that's just a matter of preference. Which shows how amazing it all was if that's my only thumbs down! 😁👍

The staff were exceptionnally helpful and polite. We ate breakfast every day and dinner on 3 evenings and the food was fresh, well prepared and very tasty. The location was the final bonus: secluded and next to a running stream. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Watermans Arms. Thankyou to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.👍👍

There was nothing to dislike that spoiled our visit. Some of the outside areas need a little tidying up but they still contributed to our pleasure.

The hosts and the team are fabulous. Warm, welcoming and friendly, the service is second to none. The Watermans is a fabulous country pub in a lovely riverside settting. The food was beautifully cooked and presented and a big step above ' pub grub'.

We had a fabulous room, with an amazingly comfortable bed. Everything was extremely clean with great quality bed linen, towels and toileteries in the spacious bathroom. The only downside for us was that previous occupants had obviously had a dog with them and there was a slight doggy odour. It was noticeable for us as we dont have a dog but is something that could easily addressed.

This was probably our 4th or 5th stay at Waterman's Arm, which is very picturesquely situated on a small stream. The rooms are good, as is the bathroom. A freshen-up would certainly not be excessive. For me, the outdoor beer garden is the best place. It's perfect for enjoying a beer in peace and unwinding. The restaurant has a good menu, and we enjoyed the food, too.

Driving through the single lanes can be a bit stressful - especially because you drive on the opposite side to your usual side ;-)

Lovely old characterful pub with a great atmosphere in a beautiful location overlooking Bow Creek. Wonderful hospitality from hosts Sarah and Leah, who work tirelessly to provide a great experience for guests. We were made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. Spotlessly clean rooms, with really comfortable beds. Fantastic breakfast. Great selection of real ales. We went as a group of 6 and we all said we would have no hesitation in returning.

This was my third time staying at this very special country pub. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. My room was spacious, clean, warm and comfortable, which was ideal for me as I was on a writing retreat. A great breakfast is included and other meals were tasty. The location is wonderfully peaceful, with the lovely River Harbourne and Bow Bridge just outside the main entrance to the pub. I would highly recommend the Waterman's Arms if you like a rural setting and enjoy friendly service and comfort.

Nothing.
