Wonderful stay and big bed

We had a wonderful stay in the little village. We really enjoyed the room, the friendly staff and the beautiful surroundings. The bed in our room was truly king size - and I must say it’s the best bed I have slept in on any trip I have been on. The breakfast was generous and delicious, and the staff always eager to help out.

Set in a beautiful unspoilt village. Room very comfortable and well furnished. Food excellent
Dawn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ilmington is a charming village and it is still unspoilt by tourism and traffic. It is so bucolic as the sheep graze on the hills surrounding the village and the quiet of the night is worth the price of admission. We loved the Howard Arms. The Village room was spacious and had loads of history and beautiful features. Breakfasts were plentiful with good options. We will definitely stay here again if we return to this part of the Cotswolds.
