The Cowdray Arms

Fantastic taster of the new menu, Florie & Todd looked after us with a 5* service, attentive but not over the top. Good choice of drinks and varied menu. Always a pleasure to visit such a lovely pub, amazing food and an attentive team. Thank you

5/5 Excellent Great ease of check-in. All staff were lovely kind and funny. Room was perfect with very comfy sitting chairs. Breakfadt was beautifully presented and perfectly portioned. Thanks for having us. I would most definitely recommend staying and dining here.

Called into the Cowdray Arms to waste some time before attending a wedding...what a great pub/b&b. Staff were friendly and helpful and service was excellent. Decided to have a "light bite" and found the menu was varied and well priced. Recomend a visit.

So very pleased with my room at the Cowdray, beautifully presented, clean and cosy with the most comfortable bed. Had luncheon here, a satisfying experience and was by far the highest quality, delicious meal that came with an excellent service. The owner Michelle and her husband are a credit to their Pub and Restaurant and deserve continued success. Great people and a wonderful establishment. Marina

Room was cozy, bed super comfortable. Delightful en suite. Nice touches with chilled water, cafetière with ground coffee and proper milk in the room. Slept like a log. Breakfast next morning could not be faulted. Haven’t had a fried slice in 10 years but had some here and omg, best ever had. Staff lovely. Would stay again.

We booked three nights at the end of October 2022 - but would have left earlier if there was a short notice alternative available. The room is in a separate building in the garden of the pub. The room itself has been renovated, but the building is completely damp - so all the brickwork is wet. This means it is musty and mouldy in the room. You can smell and see that. There is only one small window that cannot be opened completely. It is dark in the room, so you need light even during the day. Minor issue: The light from the fire alarm is very bright. We had dinner there the first night. The burger served was topped with lettuce leaves that anyone else would have thrown in the organic waste bin. There was no apology, and nothing was offered. Weird attitude. After the first night in the worst air imaginable, we went to breakfast. That was allright. In the evening we went out for dinner (different place) and when we came back we found that there was no housekeeping. Coffee cups dirty, no coffee powder refilled, bed not made, simply nothing. We had never experienced that before! The second night we sat down on the terrace for a while, bought a non-alcoholic beer at the bar, my husband had found German beer in a shop nearby, which he drank on the terrace. Then an employee came and grumbled at us that we can't drink beer from elsewhere here. No hello, no introduction. We explained to her that we were staying here overnight (our open room door was a whole two metres away). She didn't care, she insisted that we could only drink the beer in the room. Hospitable? Rather not. And given the mouldy and musty state of the room, probably a health risk. Moreover, the accommodation is right between two busy roads. Not to be recommended at all.
