Having been so let down by the drovers arms on Monday, we decided to book a table at this wonderful pub in a little village not to far from us (not as close as the drovers!!!) Friendly staff show you to your table, quickly offer you the menu with the specials board. No having to get up and look at... More

My wife and I stayed over for one night after attending a company dinner in the restaurant, the pub/hotel seems to be efficiently run by a competent couple. The rooms and public areas are spotless and after pointing out that our room was cold and the radiators needed bleeding, the owner obliged very quickly by resolving the problem. Good car... More

Stumbled upon this Pub/Hotel on a trip to the west country. Nice clean and tidy pub with a good atmosphere and great selection of lunch-time food at a very reasonable price. My wife and I stopped off here on a Thursday and it seemed busy and popular. Service and food was good, the lunchtime special board was especially good value... More

Have had some glorious meals in the past however the last two times we have visited they have been very poor! Steak over cooked, spinach gritty, deep fried Brie still frozen, old yellow watercress and roast lamb murdered under grill ! Think the owners should have more control over the chefs standards!! People won't complain they just won't return. Shame... More

We stumbled across the Grove Arms while touring the area and so glad we did. The establishment is first class, professionally operated by Ben and Anne and delight to stay with. The Accom was terrific, meals fantastic and service went that little bit extra. Highly recommended.

Reading the reviews and picking up on comments from locals, this pub has clearly had a chequered history. However, the current landlord and landlady have got everything absolutely right. We first called into the Grove Arms one Saturday, whilst driving home from Salisbury after a shopping trip. It was after 2.00pm and although the pub was quite quiet, they were... More

This hotel / pub was clean enough but that's about all it had going for it. I was here on a business trip and needed to have breakfast before 7.30am on a Saturday - this was refused despite paying £70 for a single room. Considering the high price the small supply of tea and coffee in the room was of... More

We stumbled upon this place after our original booking turned out to be awful! The staff and new owners are all absolutely lovely and we had hesitation on saying yes to staying after having a glimpse at the room. The whole place has been re-done recently and it has been done very well. The rooms are all new, light and... More
