A great starting and finishing place for a pleasant walk but if you just want a drink or two after the walk and DON'T want a MEAL, forget about parking your car in the pub car park because you won't be allowed to!!

Rude landlord, always had a local agreement for using the facilities, always seeking permission before our ramble. We consistently attend all buying a drink and consistently a third purchasing a meal, we have done this for months. We were this time approached to be told we need to pre order or cannot use the car park. The tone and approach was rude and aggressive. Horrendous approach to service!!!

Simply the perfect Sunday. Started with a lovely walk from the pub door and back. Upon arrival they welcomed us and our whippet in and sat us down. Promptly ordered two roasts one beef and one Turkey. This was simply the best roast in the Cotswolds!!!! Have eaten at numerous pubs over the years for Sunday roast and I’m very fussy as used to a farmhouse home made roast and this was as good if not slightly better than my mothers!!! Well worth the money you pay and not overpriced generous portion. And an amazing honeycombs cheesecake to finish and you could tell it was expertly homemade, very moreish!! Just to finish the crispiest roast potatoes I’ve ever had and cheesiest cauliflower ever served in a pub!

I'd give it 3.5. The good bits - nice inside, well presented and very tasty food, serving staff were good, decent garden. Not so good - regardless of how well behaved your dog is it must be kept on a lead even in the garden which is where we sat, seems unnecessary and restrictive to well behaved dogs and none of the other pubs in the area we ate at demanded this and no mention of this policy on their website. Expensive drinks around £3 - £4 more expensive than comparable pub restaurants within a 5 or so mile radius for a beer and wine. We must have arrived before the main lunchtime rush as our starters and mains arrived too quickly. If you eat in the garden you cannot pay for the first round then leave the card behind the bar/get a tab meaning you have to go in and pay for each round of drinks but more to the point they add a 'discretional' 10% service charge on which you will need to pay in advance of eating which is too presumptuous and biased in their favour. With minor changes this experience could have been a lot better.

We are in the area for the weekend celebrating our wedding anniversary & needed somewhere for a meal that wasn’t pizza or pasta or curry, because we had eaten those the previous 2 evenings. So searched on tripadvisor & found this gem of a place. Arrived Saturday night at 7.30 ad a walk in with no booking, and had no problem getting a meal. There was quite a few people in, but there was about 3 tables going spare. Had a delicious meal & a nice drink of a different beer/cider from independent breweries. The waiting on staff were brilliant & the food was tasty with a great ambience. 😍

We visited here in 2020 just after the lockdown had lifted and were back in the area so we called in. The pub was just as we remembered, quaint and welcoming. The selection of beers on draught was great and the staff really friendly. We sat in the lovely pub garden and enjoyed the sunshine. We didn't eat at the pub but the food of those around us that did looked lovely. A really gem of a place.

Just back from our first Sunday roast at the Craven Arms and it certainly won't be our last! Our party of nine (2 kids) was catered for very well - we had a large table very much to ourselves although, today at least, the little ones were very well-behaved so we had little to worry about! Two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks were equally at home... We all agreed that it was the best pub roast any of us had enjoyed for a long time. The meat (mainly a mixture of sirloin beef and pork belly) was well-cooked and in good portions, the roast potatoes were crispy and yet soft in the middle and the veggies were all perfect, particularly the red cabbage and the cauli cheese. We all thought we were completely full but on inspection of the dessert menu most of us were able to find room for more! The sticky toffee pudding and the lemon cheesecake were both popular, but you can order a simple scoop of ice-cream if that's all you want. Good choice of beers and wines and we were happy to pay the discretionary 10% for the good service and the overall experience. Definitely a 'go to' place from now on!

Lovely food in a traditional Cotswold pub. Baguettes were very large, a little dry and, for my taste, a little bland (but I like my cheese strong). I think the added a service charge to the bill, which made it expensive. The Craven Arms is in a lovely setting, and the dining area has been improved no end since my last visit, without spoiling the characterof the place. Good service too! Our group certainly enjoyed our lunch at the pub.

My mother and I stayed at the Craven Arms for the first time and will definitely go again. Rooms were clean and very comfortable, excellent tea and coffee making facilities, comfortable bed, plenty of draw and hanging space. We ate in the restaurant on the first night intending to test out the local Indians on the second night. However, after tasting the food at the Craven Arms it was a no brainer and we booked a second meal for the following evening. Breakfast gave us plenty of choice and was most enjoyable and served with a smile. Staff were very friendly and helpful, we felt very welcomed and look forward to our next visit. Close by the Settle to Carlisle train made for a nice day out. We also visited the Courtyard Dairy and some wonderful cheeses which is only 5 mins up the road. Plenty of wonderful walks all around and Settle for a few shops, market day Tuesday.

Stopped here for lunch whilst passing through The Cotswold Hills and based my visit on current Tripadvisor reviews. It's a lovely pub with a great atmosphere and well worth the small detour off the beaten path to find. They had non local Butcombe Ale on, which was absolutely fine with me as the Haka Pale was superb. I was met by friendly people and had the Aranici starter, followed by an awesome beef and red wine pie with chips and the chocolate mouse to follow. What can I say? They have a very good chef, service was very good, but expect delays at peak times due to staff shortages. My mid-week lunch was unaffected by this. Portion size was reasonable for the price, but a little more veg and a few extra chips on my main would've helped, but I do have a hearty appetite. I could say the same with dessert, which was superb, but I could've easily eaten twice as much, it was that good. One thing to note is that a service charge is included, but my experience of their service was exemplary, so I was happy to pay. All in all, a top place to stop over, for lunch or dinner, in The Cotswolds.

We arrived as part of a groups of us, It was very cosy end warm throughout the pub as it was cold outside and warmed up very quick. Staff were friendly and smiley which made us as ease, From the drinks we had they were lovely, and the ale tasted as it should. The menu wasn’t presented to well, I felt like a I had to sieve through it, that’s where the complaining ends. The food was hot, tasty and visually looked good, I had the duck, bubble and squeak and cherry sauce, we waited about 30/35 minutes, table of 6 of us but it was very busy so we were happy. Dessert we had cheesecake which was lovely also. Definitely come back, fair value for good food and lovely atmosphere and staff .

Proper traditional pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere and plenty of seating - sofas, tables and stools - in connected rooms. A large car park out front, The Craven Arms is well signposted and is a magnet for locals and visitors alike. For those looking for a taste of real ale, ask about the ales on tap (CAMRA members get a discount). This is a great place to stop by after a walk in the surrounding Cotswolds countryside. There's also an extremely friendly pub dog, Ben, strutting about. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Cash and cards accepted. Suitable for one-to-many. B&B too.

Elegimos aquí porque se recomendó por tener buenas opciones vegetarianas / veganas. Había muy pocas opciones disponibles y lo que teníamos, el pan de setas y nueces, era encantador. Las otras opciones, aunque atractivas, parecían imo carecer de proteínas.El pan de nueces era muy sabroso, húmedo y tenía una buena profundidad de sabor. Muy bien presentado con zanahoria blanca asada y aceite de trufa y patata 'triturada'. Sorprendentemente abundante también.Los postres, pudín de caramelo pegajoso y ruibarbo crumble, también fueron muy agradables. Buenos sabores pero no demasiado dulces, como pueden ser estas cosas. Agradablemente, porciones más grandes de lo que esperaba y muy feliz allí.En general, tuvimos una experiencia y una comida encantadoras. No es la comida más barata, pero la calidad era muy buena. El personal era muy atento, aunque parecía un poco desorganizado; llegaba uno y luego el otro preguntando lo mismo y no recibíamos el café que habíamos pedido.Mi única queja es el 12. 5% de cargo por servicio agregado automáticamente a la factura. Casi siempre dejo una propina, pero esto me desconcertó un poco.Muy bien gestionado con respecto a las restricciones y procedimientos de Covid.Un buen lugar para darse un capricho, pero para nosotros, no es una elección habitual.

Este pub se encuentra en un callejón sin salida, por lo que no es un lugar donde pasaría en sus viajes por los Cotswolds. Lo encontramos buscando lugares para comer en Trip Advisor cerca de donde nos estábamos quedando.No defraudó. En primer lugar, debido a Covid, las mesas se han espaciado muy bien y hay gel de manos en todas las mesas, así como cuando entras. Me sentí muy seguro.Había una buena elección en el menú. 3 de las 4 cenas fueron deliciosas. Desafortunadamente, la cuarta cena (Fish & Chips) tuvo que ser devuelta ya que el pescado no estaba lo suficientemente cocido. El restaurante se ocupó de esto de manera profesional, sin objeciones.Puedo recomendar su tarta de queso!El personal fue muy amable.

Took our vegan friends to the Craven Arms as they have a menu which gives plenty of choice for them as well as us. One of our friends is also gluten free and he didn't have any problems finding something really tasty - chose the nut roast which looked gorgeous. They were really impressed with the choice, and the fact that the menu catered for everyone, not just a 'token' veggie meal. My husband and I had the fish and chips - always a winner there. We sat outside in their lovely garden - plenty of space and table service. The staff were friendly as ever and we had a lovely time enjoying the sun. We'll be back soon!

We visited this pub for dinner in July 2020. At the time, the pub was only open Thursday-Sunday. We had a delicious meal in the pub garden. The food was really tasty. The staff were attentive but kept a good distance (as you would hope with social distancing still in place). There is a great selection of gins that we could choose from. The only downside was the limited IPA choice but on the whole, a great evening. We would definitely visit again.

Be hard to know how the Craven could get any better... since its makeover, the decor is stylish and comfortable. The food is consistently excellent, and interesting, and it comes out of the kitchen promptly. The waiting staff are lovely people, friendly and efficient, and the whole thing runs like clockwork (not easy on a Sunday lunchtime, when you have three large parties in) Also the first pub to offer gluten-free Yorkshires!

This was a really wonderful experience. We do not go out for family sunday lunch but whilst visiting children and grand-children this weekend we took advice and booked into this lovely place. The pub is tucked away in a very quiet Cotswold vilage but everything about it has a great appeal. We were all given a great welcome and it was immediately clear that young children are regular expected and encouraged. Toys are provided in a separate loung area to keep them occupied whilst lunch was prepared. The menu has plenty of variety and enough choice for most mixed age-group parties. It is well prepared and presented and served by very friendly young staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we all left feeling as though we had experienced something very special. We will definitely try to get back on subsequent visits (perhaps without the grand-children!!)

Today we visited the Craven Arms for Sunday lunch,we had heard good things about it & we were not disappointed.The setting is beautiful - even on a gloomy winters day - the food was amazing & the staff are too! especially the lovely manager (sorry,didn't get her name) Sometimes these country pubs can be a bit clique,not this one,everyone was welcomed equally. Only a ten minute or so drive from Cheltenham, we will be back!! Fabulous!

We were two families joining up to meet and lunch at The Craven Arms today. First of all the staff is incredibly service minded, friendly and helpful. And next let's talk about the roast itself.....absolutely out of this world amazing!!!! Good portion size, excellent quality products used and the roast potatoes were simply stunning (need the recipe)! Kids enjoyed their meals to and also took advantage of the little games corner. Relaxed and lovely atmosphere and could not fault the food in any way. Will definetely come back again very soon. Thank you so much! A proper cozy and warm welcoming pub.

The staff was were so friendly, even the bar maid let me try out some ales before I made a purchase which was a nice touch. Food was great, and even tho there was about 9 of us the food came out together and was still at a good temperature. Would definitely recommend this pub for food. Plus I love the touch of a dog roaming the pub. Add to a real relaxed, family feel.

I came here for lunch with friends last Sunday and we were all very impressed. The pub is beautiful inside and out, with a tastefully decorated restaurant, open fires, friendly staff and the cutest pub dog in the world! The food was tasty and plentiful with HUGE Yorkshire puddings served with all the roasts (not just with the beef as with some restaurants). The veg was perfectly cooked and tasted very fresh, with crispy roast potatoes and piping hot gravy. There were fantastic vegetarian and vegan options available too, as well as gluten and dairy-free options, so everyone at our table was catered for and nobody felt left out. I had the best bloody mary I've had in ages and the desserts were TO DIE FOR and very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly, funny, but non-intrusive, which was perfect for us. Thanks to the whole team at The Craven Arms, and well done. We'll be back!

Beautiful & cozy coffee shop embracing all the Cotswolds cozy lifestyle. It was very welcoming & felt like a place where time itself slows down. Delicious oat milk latte & scones! Very laid back & wonderful vibes.

We spent a fab 24 hours at Dormy House. It's difficult to overstate just what a class act this whole place is from top to bottom. Meticulously stylish interiors, impeccably polite and endlessly helpful service from everyone you meet. A luxurious spa where you leave all your worries at the door and relax. The rooms are comfortable and the whole vibe is unstuffy but attentive. We've stayed a few times and will hopefully do so again soon. If you want a relaxed, pampered break from the world outside, I can't recommend Dormy House highly enough.

This used to be a really cosy cafe where you’d get decent quality coffee, cakes and toasties etc. visited today for the first time since before Covid and I’m guessing it must have changed hands. Espresso was undrinkable ( more like filter coffee) and we only ate one mouthful of the cheese ham toastie - anaemic, plastic ham and cheese. Dont like leaving negative reviews but this is more like a transport caf now which is such a shame. Won’t be back.
