What a wedding! Couldn’t fault our experience - with our hosts bringing so much to the party. From dust until dawn this was a great experience!

I don’t know what was wrong with the barman but he was rude and reluctant to serve us. Kept calling me bruv then kicked us out with drinks half drunk at about 9. Asked for a refund, he said no we could take them with us! He spoke on the phone to a taxi company right next to us and started swearing at them when they said the price. Not impressed.

A lovely traditional pub with a nice log burner. All staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I’ve eaten a few burgers in my time and this wagyu beef burger was the best of them! I’d definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful evening at this adorable pub. It has the feel of a local bar where everyone knows each other but they are also very welcoming to new visitors. They have an extensive beer and wine selection. And the food was out of this world. The pizza is among the best pizza we have ever had. We also had Chinese pulled pork pancakes and a great chocolate dessert.

Filthy campsite , filthy tent , don’t waste your money book a cleaner place else you will regret it unless you take your own cleaning products and want to do some house keeping and take your own toilet roll and torch because no toilet roll and no lights to see

Stayed in tent , the carpet was filthy, also lack of facilities near by, and I could not see to get to the bathroom it was a bit of a walk and had to rely on my torch on my phone because there was no lights at all , when I managed to get to the bathroom it was filthy , the shower was dirty and toilet and the sink area, also there was no hand towels or toilet roll. Ruined my weekend and I’d never stay again , cost £97 which I might as well thrown down the drain and used my own tent or used the money for a nice hotel.

This was a last minute booking Lets start with good points. Cosy pub very old inside. Good cider, and breakfast was great. Full english and nice coffee. Cereals fresh orange juice. Staff friendly and the toilets was clean . Not good... Needed the toilet after walking to our Bell Tent . The toilet facilities was disgusting. Wooden building built on decking which was slippy. Four toilets all not very clean. All of them leaking. Two showers in the same room of the toilets. The tiles was coming of the ceiling and the wood was rotting. Mould and dirty in showers. Good, hot water. Bad , the sinks were not clean plus the walls too. Floor dirty and slippy. Disgusting!!! Bad, no lights to walk around . Walk ways needed strimming over grown uneven rock paths. I got stung with nettles just walking to the toilet block. Old green house tunnels full of weeds did not look good. You could not park next to your tent.Bad points with Bell tent, no steps to get up to the tent Tent was on raised decking which was very slippy. Over grown grass and hedge around it. Inside the tent was nit much better. Good points the bedding was clean and towels. Bad the bed had no head board and on the floor was a rough woven rug which apart from not being hooverd well was stained. Good Two chairs that was pull out single beds. Bad, no bedside tables and the only light was at the end off the bed ,so you had to get up to turn it off . One cup for making a hot drink. Good, kettle and coffee and tea, milk sugar. Hot water bottle. Bad, the cover was dirty so could not use it. Also out neighbouring tent. At about 12 pm started to argue. Swearing and cursing each other. This went on for about 1 hour. Then started again about 6 am. Ok i know thats out of the owners hands. Will never go again

I attended a family wedding, and chose glamping for three adults and a two year old. I have to say the staff were absolutely fabulous, and a credit to the owners. A very special shout out to Beautiful Bailey, who went above and beyond to provide blankets for us from her HOME, as there were none available and the temperature dropped early eve. She gets employee of the year for sure! An observation would be to sort the ground in places where there’s high traffic, as very muddy in places. But overall a wonderful experience, Thankyou:)

Service nearly one hour late from booking time. Roast beef a selection of gristle and sinews. Staff informed and shown the rubbish presented as “roast beef “ but just simpered “oh we’ll let someone know “. Full price charged for this very substandard meal. Such a shame as we have eaten well here on previous occasions but will not be returning and will let others know that standards have slipped so far.

We had a fantastic meal before staying the night at the campsite. The friendliest, most willing staff we’ve come across in a long time. They were smiley and helpful and the food was delicious! We stayed at the campsite which had excellent facilities- the pub offers a shuttle service to local events if needed which was a HUGE selling point and something we’re incredibly grateful for as it meant we could enjoy our day without the worry of booking a taxi. Thank you you much for a wonderful stay.

Brilliant lunch! Stopped here for a lunch after reading mixed reviews. I am very fussy so find it hard to stop without planning. Polite warm welcome and beyond the pub is a huge beautiful garden setting that is just perfect for a garden lunch. Sourdough fish finger sandwich and White bread fish finger sandwich with the fish perfectly cooked in a light batter with really well cooked chips. 10/10 definitely recommend we went here before visiting Westonbirt Arboretum where we walked and took in beautiful views also recomend if you enjoy the outdoors!

We stayed at the Holford Arms during Badminton HorseTrials in May. The room we were given was small but pleasantly furnished with a nice bathroom. Unfortunately the room was on the side of the pub with the main road beside it and as the bathroom heater was on full blast all night, we had to open the window. The room was too noisy to sleep at all for about five am, and the dial for turning down the heat in the bathroom had been removed. When I politely mentioned this to the person in the bar the following morning, she said the manager would call me that day. Three days passed with no call back. The second person I spoke to also expressed their regret and said that “room 4 is always noisy, next time we will give you a room at the side” She also said the manager would call, which he still has not. What a pity that the manager of the Holford Arms does not care for his customers, and lets his staff down.

We were staying here for a few days, and decided to try the grub. We were absolutely not disappointed. We arrived on a wet autumnal Sunday, sat by the fire and had a roast dinner each. I had the pork, and was really glad to see it came with a Yorkshire pudding (places that only do them with beef - take note!). Lots of gravy, well cooked veg, and a portion of very boring green beans for the little one was spot on. The following evening we ate from the main menu and again, really very good hot fresh food. Highly recommend coming here to eat if you get the chance!

¡El entorno y el paisaje son increíbles! Desafortunadamente, nos decepcionaron algunas cosas, la principal fue la falta de limpieza: nuestros amigos se estaban quedando en "The Shack" y de inmediato fue evidente que el piso y las cortinas no se habían limpiado en lo que parecían años. Nos estábamos quedando en Bell Tents, que también carecía de limpieza, las 2 sillas blancas tenían cubiertas, que claramente no se habían lavado. . . siempre.Los inodoros y las duchas no se mantuvieron limpios y también se deben a una actualización desesperada. Hay enchufes eléctricos junto al fregadero. . . es eso legal? No había papel higiénico en varias ocasiones, y aunque nos pidieron que desinfectamos las manos al entrar, no había desinfectante en el dispensador. El campamento tenía un contenedor de basura de tamaño estándar y estuvo lleno todo el tiempo, lo que provocó que se dejaran basura al lado, lo cual es desagradable a la vista.Llegamos a las 4 pm, que era la hora de registro, y tuvimos que esperar media hora para que nuestras carpas estuvieran listas, solo para descubrir que no estaban limpias.El gerente también fue bastante desagradable. Independientemente de lo anterior, ¡podría ser increíble! !

We visited The Holford Arms for a quiet break away together on the first weekend lockdown was eased. The staff at the pub and camping had done a stellar job preparing the place for a new socially distant way of working and we had a great stay. The chalet was better than we had expected from the photos with more space and facilities. There is a great outdoor area with a bar and pizza oven and plenty of seating with a friendly atmosphere. The roast was exceptional and not one to miss on a Sunday. We had a bit of tricky situation where we lost the keys for our car and Will came to our rescue and all staff were lovely throughout.

We booked two rooms via booking.com as we were going to a wedding reception nearby. Cost was almost £230 for the two rooms including breakfast and whilst it was a reasonable stay, this did see quite a lot. We received a friendly welcome to this small, local type pub and the rooms were clean and comfortable it nothing special. Breakfast was limited with a few cereals on a shared table and an offer of a full English but no options. The cooked breakfast was OK but included bacon but a low quality vegetarian sausage with no explanation or choice. Just seemed a bit off. Overall served a purpose but we are unlikely to return.

They have an extensive menu (Value for money) and also have their own Pizza oven which throws out amazing pizzas when its lit up. The landlord and landlady couldn't be more helpful and accommodating - dogs and children welcome - nothing is ever a problem.

I ordered some peppercorn sauce at a small cost of £1.50.My wife had the lamb shank, this was sublime, I tried a piece and it fell off the bone.For dessert we had chocolate brownies which were excellent and with 3 large glasses of wine and 2 pints of lager, this totalled a very respectable £75.My steak was as good as I have ever eaten I must add.The general atmosphere of the pub is what made our evening with friendly helpful staff and other customers who joked and laughed with everyone.A highly recommended homely dog friendly pub which cooks brilliant food.Visited 18th January 2020.

After a long cold but enjoyable walk around Westonbirt Arboretum, my boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere close by to warm up and get some food! Then we stumbled across this gem! It was a five minute drive from the arboretum, we parked up (the car park is on the small side but you wouldn’t have to wait long for someone to depart). The tables were packed, but we were delighted when the very friendly and attentive staff said we could eat at the bar. So we made ourselves comfortable and enjoyed one of the BEST Sunday dinners I’ve had in a long long time. We both had pork and it was succulent with a beautiful crisp crackling on top. I really couldn’t fault this place at all. You can book tables from what I over heard and I would definitely like to come back.

El pub en sí es un encantador pub campestre (con el fuego rugiente necesario), personal amable y buena selección de bebidas. Definitivamente visitaré de nuevo!

Fuimos en familia el domingo por primera vez y quedamos realmente impresionados. Es un pub apropiado donde los lugareños beben, los perros deambulan; además de servir comida realmente deliciosa. Nos quedamos realmente impresionados con el rosbif y el cerdo, así como los calamares que tuvimos. El servicio fue amable, eficiente y paciente con los niños. Ojalá hubiéramos llegado antes y pudiéramos leer los periódicos junto a la estufa de leña.

I booked lunch for Saturday afternoon for a family reunion on the basis of online reviews and a quick look at the menu. I had a call from the pub the day before warning that a pre-booked party of 40 were being brought inside as the weather was turning, and that service on the day may be delayed. I really appreciated the heads-up from staff, and as it turns out the delays weren't anything to worry about and the staff were all incredibly attentive given the packed pub. We had delicious meals (everyone had three courses!), and didn't feel rushed at all to end our afternoon. My family and I really had a fabulous afternoon at the Holford Arms for a very reasonable price. Thanks to all.

Fortunately we booked lunch; pub was heaving. Table released in 3 minutes and lunch ordered within 5 minutes. We all ordered the same meal which arrived with a VERY meagre helping of veg. After a complaint was raised the delightful and helpful waitress resolved the problem immediately(with profuse aoplogies). Now the meal was excellent! 4 satisfied customers. Not only that but our bill was reduced 10% without request. SERVICE!!

Stayed here for a 2 night break with my husband, as it was an ideal location for visiting Westonbirt Arbetorum. The room was cold as the heating was on a timer so when we went to breakfast the first morning, I asked if the heating could be adjusted to come on earlier in the morning - it wasn't done. We wanted to eat our evening meal in the pub but there was a limited menu made worse by 2 things having run out. However, all the staff were friendly & polite.

Stayed here for my partners birthday on the Saturday night. Didn’t do much research so booked on booking.com. But later found out would have been 5% cheaper booking with the hotel. The property is pretty remote and we were looking to go into Tetbury for dinner that evening but found out very hard to get a taxi. We decided to stay here for dinner which was a wise choice.

The negative reviews on this site seem to focus around the campsite. We went here for a Sunday lunch with children and grandparents. The dog was made to feel welcome. The pub was super cosy with a lovely log fire. The pub from the outside doesn't do the food offerings justice. The staff were friendly and helpful. Drink choices are great. They sell their own chutney and preserves behind the bar which is a lovely touch. There were lther children in the pub and was a nice friendly environment. The menu is small for Sunday lunch but for a good reason. They know exactly what they're doing. A kids option, meat of 3 choices and a vegetarian option. The Roast dinner was the best we've had at a pub. Generous size, meat cooked perfectly, decent Yorkshire pud and lashings of the most scrummy gravy. I had the beef, which was rare and so thinly cut it melted in the mouth. My partner had pork and said the entire crackling was delicious and raved about it for hours after. Our two boys shared desert and I'm glad they did as it was generous in size. A lovely relaxed afternoon, I do high recommend and will be back for more of that delicious beef.

My Husband and I attended a Wedding at the Holford Arms, the Venue was amazing, and ensured the bride and her husband to be had a spectacular day, all facilities were clean and well maintained, the food was fab ( I recommend the chocolate brownies for desert ! ) and the staff ensured the day passed without a hitch. There was plenty of space for mingling, dancing and general celebrations amongst some stunning countryside.

We visited last Sunday after going to the amazing Westonbirt Arboretum. We stoped off for food and were pleasantly surprised by how nice the beer garden at the back was, and how good the roast was. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Stayed here for The Stereophonics at Westonbirt Arboretum in The Shack! A friend booked it and had no idea what to expect as all I was looking forward to was seeing the Stereophonics a short walk away! Weather forecast horrendous but log fire in bar, great Stroud brewery beer, fine wine list and FAB food overseen by lovely staff made this a top night! Accommodation brilliant too and even under floor heating! Hope the bands next year will entice me back but then again who needs the bands when this place is so fab and friendly!

We stayed at The Holford Arms in their Campsite for 4 nights. The facilities were great. Lovely clean loos and showers, 7 in total and a nice big patch to park van and pitch the kids tent. I did have to walk to the tap to fill our Van tank as it was too tight for me to reverse up to the only stand pipe by the polly tunnel but this a small complaint.

Despite the kindness of the staff, I regret to say the campsite is not very family friendly.

We booked to stay in a bell tent in September 2018 through booking.com as they were listed as dog friendly when glamping but not the pub rooms which was fine. Then checked with the pub directly to confirm it was ok to have the dogs and book a table for dinner. Had a good stay so Rebooked for a visit this weekend. We each drove 2.5hours to get here to be be told when we arrived that the tents aren’t dog friendly and never were and were turned away with a half hearted apology. Absolute disgrace that neither the manager or owner would bother to discuss with us. Left stranded without accommodation. Luckily found The Crown, Tolldown instead (only 10miles away), happy to have two dogs in their large bedroom and couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend.

Nos alojamos en el Camping Holford Arms por tres noches durante el fin de semana festivo de finales de mayo. Cuando reservamos en el pub, no nos dieron un mapa del sitio que muestra las ubicaciones de los servicios y cuándo estarían cerrados por la limpieza, las bocas de incendio, etc. Finalmente encontramos un grifo de agua pero la presión del agua era muy baja y Tomó más de 15 minutos llenar el tanque de agua en nuestra caravana.

Bonito sitio pintoresco con instalaciones promedio. Lo bueno es la ubicación, lo malo no es suficiente duchas 3 para un sitio grande es impactante. Nadie vacía los contenedores del sitio, por lo que es un poco sombrío y se desbordan. En serio, te abarrotes y quiero decir en serio, como las sardinas. No hay patrullas para comprobar cualquier comportamiento antisocial. Parece ser un poco costoso hacer dinero para ser honesto, hay muchos otros sitios con mejores instalaciones.

Food and drink good but expensive for pub food. Only to be expected given the proximity to Tetbury. Be aware that if you eat there you will not be able to stay at your table. You won't be told in advance that all the tables are reserved and you will be told (not asked) to move. One of the staff needs retraining in customer service. He told us as our meals arrived that we would have to move as soon as we had eaten, no please, no manners. When I asked if there was anywhere else we could sit he said we would be "thrown off" wherever we sat. I asked him again and he told me could go outside - in February? Really! A shame as this spoilt what had been a pleasant weekend. We won't be going back

Came for a Friday evening meal, arrived around 7pm, it was pretty busy with what looked like a motorcycle club eating (old guys!) and the bar busy too. Good atmosphere, got a table quickly and menus, waiting staff keen and quite funny and talkative. Interesting menu with most locally sourced. Good variety of drinks, I had the locally produced cider which came in a pint and bit bottle and was great - though two bottles might have been "bold" rather strong!

Booked for lunch with friends and 2 dogs. Extremely friendly staff who cannot do enough for you. Our friends wanted scotch eggs to start but they didn't have any ready. After a short discussion the chef made them some fresh. Delicious!! Salt and pepper squid was tender and tasty and the best moules frites we have had in a long time. A long relaxed lunch which was perfect xx

I live quite locally and thought this would be a good place to take my mum for mothers day. When we intially popped in to book there was a power cut, the receptionist took a number and said she would call, no call came so we went back in and the same receptionist did a bad job of pretending she didn't regonise us, no apology given however we booked afternoon tea. Both my self and my mother wouldn't recommend, some of the cakes had clearly been hanging around for a while. For what it cost, and the quality we left wishing we had gone else where. The staff were pleasent and attentive while we had afternoon tea, however we were (from we could see) the only one's in the hotel!
