After 2 previous attempts to dine here we finally made it. The place is lovely in a great setting.A beautiful evening with even some late sunshine. A really friendly barman got us drinks and we went through to dine. There was a fabulous smell of log fires throughout the building and in fact our steaks were cooked on one. However,there... More

Loved the whole experience but ....over priced for what we had. London prices but " sharing veal " far too fatty. Carve it yourself...fine but carving through fat!!!serving staff friendly and classy. Would go back because loved the concept......different rooms to enjoy drinks etc, but overpriced for surroundings etc. E.g. £12 starters ( queen scallops) -delicious but .... £45 for... More

On our recent visit to Gunton Arms (lunchtime Thursday 26th April`12) we were very disappointed. The service was not acceptable, (very poor) no sugar received with the coffees, the four of us asked for a round of sandwiches. When the food arrived, we received baguettes. For what is being charged, the presentation was dreadful, very slapdash indeed, even to putting... More

Just back from a really wonderful two night stay. We only wish it was a bit nearer to us in the Cotswolds but a return trip is already being considered for the Summer. Great cooking and menus by Stuart Tattersall and the Robert Kime interiors are perfect. There's the addition of some interesting contemporary artwork downstairs which sets it apart... More

Home last night from a lovely 3 night stay here with our little dog. Staff lovely - couldn't be more helpful. Rooms homely and comfortable for a B & B/pub with good bedding, bathrooms, towels, sheets, etc (important). Robert Kime is one of my favourite interior designers (my trade too) so I am biased (he also did Clarence House for... More

We used to go there when it was the Elderton Lodge, and had my 60th birthday and our ruby wedding there. We looked in to see what it was like after the change, and didn't like it at all - bare floors, no carpets, nearly all the comfortable armchairs gone - too 'pubby'. We won't be going again. To the...

I have eaten in the Gunton Arms many times, and have also occasionally had snacks at the bar. It is an excellent place, full of character and serves excellent seasonal food. However, the running of the restaurant is proving to be a disaster. There is no one to seat guests on arrival, organise the service, ensure that the diners have... More
