The hotel must have been some sort of large coaching house in the past. It is now a large busy pub with rooms to rent above. The room was perfectly fine and the service for reception was good. Service at breakfast was fine as was the breakfast. I stayed for £50 - fantastic value for money. More

We wanted to go for a work lunch as one of our colleagues is getting married soon. As we are limited by time (and had an extremely bad experience with our Christmas Lunch at Longs) we were concerned that anywhere could actually ensure we had our meals on time. We wanted somewhere with a good range of dishes (we are... More

Stayed on a Saturday night. It's above a really busy pub - the bouncers wouldn't let me in through the main door during the evening - said I had to queue up to get in even when I explained that I was staying in the hotel! There's a night entrance though which you can get through. The room was small... More

Rightly, go warned of a 20 min wait. No problem. 50 mins later, our 18month was getting... More

My fiancée and I had a rare night off from a 10yr old and were looking for somewhere close by and reasonable and found The Goddard Arms on the Late Rooms website. Even though our stay was on a busy Friday night for the pub downstairs, once you were upstairs you couldn't hear any noise at all, even with the... More

We did not stay here and have just had a family meal at the Goddard which was fairly enjoyable; I asked for tartare sauce to go with my fish cakes and was told that tartare sauce would be an extra cost!! However, tomato sauce was free!! I do not understand how a standard accompaniment to fish i.e. tartare sauce would... More

Don't know what we were expecting but for the price we certainly weren't expecting much. What a pleasant surprise. Arrived at lunch time and the place is obviously known for it's food as it was quite busy. For those with young children there didn't seem a problem with high chairs. Although it was well before checking in time the room... More
