The Methuen Arms Reviews

I was very disappointed at this hotel. Being a gold VIP ******* member, I was expecting a better service from the woman in reception. She did not explain or said anything regarding the perks and the free breakfast that came with our stay. The room almost smell like an old man has been staying there for weeks. The toilet bowl had SKID MARKS in them!! You'd think they would have cleaned this. My pregnant wife did not enjoy the experience. This is by far the worst VIP ******* hotel we've stayed at. One thing that we really liked was the food in the restaurant and the breakfast. Hence, the 2 stars.

We had a lovely Christmas stay at the Methuen Arms. For the first time, the whole family, immediate & extended, were able to be together for a hassle free Christmas lunch because the ‘Met’ took over. 😁 The staff were wonderful. We all loved it, so a big THANK YOU is called for. 👏

Every possible amenity was in my room, every detail was there. Excellent room, new bathroom and staff was suoer.

The hotel operates as a bar, restaurant and hotel. Thats great for most custoners as it means one single place for eveything. Unfortunately if you are traveling for business and need to get some decent sleep i would recommend you stay clear. They have a lovely outdoor beer garden which means very loud noise which progressively gets lounder until 11.30pm. If like me you stay in room 19 or 20 you will absloutly hear eveything. The hotel is clearly aware of this issue as they provide earplugs... they dont help. First review of a hotel ever; this year i have stayed in 45 different hotels across uk and this is by far the worst. The room was lovely and cosy and beyond exemplary just, the noise really did let this place down.

We pulled into the hotel after a long flight with a rental car not working properly. Rose was at the reception reception desk and was very busy with guests. She is so good at her job, getting guests through properly and quickly. She went out of her way to assist us and make sure we had a nice ending to a stressful day. It was much appreciated. Thanks Rose!

Lovely adorable British countryside hotel. Great food and friendly staff.

The property is on a main street so the rooms facing the Main Street could be noisy at times. We picked a premium room. The room we were in was clean but there was an old leak in the ceiling that was not repaired. The wall paper was discolored and peeled off the wall where the leak was. The bathroom was clean and large in the room we stayed. The gardens and the outdoor space were very nice and the staff were friendly. There was only one set of towels in the room and it took a couple of tries to get a second set. I forgot my phone charger adapter and the person at the desk lent me his. The bar area was clean and nice but basic. The breakfast was fine. It is close to the main area of the town.

Lovely comfortable room with some great features to make the stay memorable (free drinks in the fridge, homemade cookies, good coffee)

Beautiful old building, very friendly staff and excellent food.

Methuen Arms lovely place to stay. Staff was very friendly and accomadating. Breakfast was great made to order a great variety includ ing vegan

Lovely hotel with a great restaurant for an evening meal, breakfast was great in the morning. Car park on-site but no electric car charging points.

Staff friendly and helpful on reception and in dining room. Close to amenities in town. Cost of food high. Good outdoor space for relaxation. Room safes didn't work although they were present. Hotel of this rating should provide secure storage in room. Servicing of rooms good except cafetière was not clean on arrival. Car park surface leads to dusty environment. Lack of choice of breads at breakfast. Only Sour Dough available should have white and brown especially for toast. No fresh fruit or cereal available at Breakfast. Breakfast order (porridge) incorrectly prepared in kitchen 3 of the 4 mornings. Waitress dealt with this very well. Full English sausage dry - hash browns good. We live on a busy road but other people would find Room 2 noisy especially with the window open. Maybe triple glaze windows.

the kitchen ventilation was located right outside/below the room. Quite the noise and course of the day/night the temprature was increased and light smell of food came into the room. impossible to sleep if you are light on noise, heat and smell! We asked for another room, however, the hotel was fully booked and not possible to change rooms. The manager deducted 100 pound plus a bottle of prosecco without us asking for it. but we still feel that upon ordering you should get a choice of room, or be well informed about the downside of this particular room! and the rate of the room should have been much much less than charged! the manager promised to shut down the ventiation early as possible and turn it on as late as possible... but the last night the ventilation was on the hole night... and the service at breakfast was not the best! besides this the hotel was a nice place to be...

This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel and we love it. The food it amazing and the rooms are so beautiful and cosy. We bring our dog with us as well as there is a lovely dog walk just next to the hotel. 5* from us
