This is a really cosy hotel with with an atmosphere that welcomes guests as if it was a private home. Everything was very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful, even down to loaning me their sissors to wrap Christmas presents. The beds were comfortable and there was even a small flat screen tv in the room and there was always pleanty of hot water for baths or showers. A great experience and one we shall be repeating as close family live nearby.

My companion and I were at Sara's Coffee Shop this afternoon. The coffee shop is inside the Noel Arms Hotel. Their lattes (mine with a shot of vanilla and his with caramel) were beautiful, even as good as Nero's or Costa's! We shared a piece chocolate praline cake (£2.50). What can I say? Its absolutely gorgeous. For 2 large lattes and a nice chocolate cake, the bill is just over £8.00. Very good value for money!

This one is definitely worth going back. Check it out!

We found this hotel to be very pleasant with a large area on the ground floor divided into a pub with log fire, a conservatory and dining area. The rooms were traditionally decorated and very comfortable and the staff helpful and professional.

This was our second stay at Noel Arms (so obviously we like it). We stayed over New Year's with our teenage son in a family room. The room (2) was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The beds and bedding are very comfortable and warm in the winter. The spa bath is very nice. There was plenty of hot water for all three of us, even with filling the tub for a bath or using the shower. The towels are big and fluffy and there is a heated towel bar which is very nice when it's cold.

Breakfast is superb and very filling. (You can skip lunch!) There is a table laid out with fruits, freshly made yogurt, cereals, breads, meats, cheese and juice. You can additionally have a full English breakfast, salmon, etc. I had poached eggs and muffins (very good).

On New Year's Eve morning we hiked to Broadway Tower (8-10 miles roundtrip). We returned in plenty of time to rest up for the night’s festivities. We booked the New Year's Eve dinner and were so pleased that we did. It was a five course meal (very good), and included champagne and canopes before the meal. Dinner was followed by music, dancing, and champagne toasts with a friendly group of people in the pub. We had a great time and I highly recommend it!

The staff is fantastic, especially Kelly. She helped us a great deal in our planning including sending us the train schedule. (They are ALL great -just don't know all of their names). They are very professional and take care of everything in a moment's notice.
