Just spent two nights at the Tempest arms. Was really looking forward to spending time there based on all the positive reviews we had read on trip adviser. In the main we were not disappointed and found the rooms, location and food to be a very good standard. The room was spacious and provided a real home from home comfort... more

We have just returned from a night stay at this hotel. We stayed on room 13 which is one of the two rooms with hot tubs. The room was excellent the staff brilliant and the food was terrific. I have already recommended this hotel to all my friends and would drive the hour and half just to eat there again. more

This place never disappoints. All the staff have excellent people skills and make you feel that you really matter to them. The ambience is warm and welcoming, the colour schemes and furnishings convey quality which is tasteful and doesn't scream at you, the food is superb and reliably so, and the L'Occitane toiletries are lovely. Molly the dear old dog... more

We got married here and could not find fault with anything. The hotel is beautiful, well laid out with an informal feel, even the cheapest rooms are comfortable and of a high standard. The hotel staff handled the wedding with professional ease and were discreetly on hand at all times. The honeymoon suite is furnished to a high standard with... more

It' is worth appreciating that this is basically a busy country pub which serves good food, and not a country hotel. Some of the bedrooms might be quite plush, but we had a ground floor 'club' room with a view of the side passage and the bins. The electric heating was efficient and easy to regulate, and the beds were... more

When you arrive at the tempest arms , the car park is always busy. you always... more

On our first visit we stayed in Room 13 (with hot tub) which has the largest bed we have ever slept in.On our recent visit we stayed in Room 11 which has... more

Stayed 1 night on business, but was pleasantly surprised with the Tempest. Booking and email confirmation all very good, Check-in quick and easy. Room I had was an executive single, but was really a very large double. Room very spacious, clean and well equipped. One point to note, a lot of rooms are in a newer separate building. Didn't bother... more
