The Royal Arms Hotel, Sutton Cheney

The hotel offers beautiful views over the neighboring countryside, but the rooms with old-fashioned furniture don't quite match the elegance of the main dining area. The service was excellent, though the lack of room service is a downside. The location is central for bikers but may not be optimal for general travelers, especially on a Sunday. The dining experience comes at an extra cost, but the cakes are delightful.

The hotel has great views from the deluxe bedrooms, but the old fashioned furniture doesn't quite match the standard of the main dining area. It's a shame about the uncomfortable bed, though the character of the room is charming. The service is top-notch with attentive room service and housekeeping. The location is within lovely gardens, offering a peaceful retreat despite some disappointments with nearby full-booked accommodations. The dining experience, while moderately priced, includes appetizers and the facilities are comfortable and well-maintained.

I stayed in a deluxe bedroom with beautiful views over the neighboring countryside. The old-fashioned furniture didn't quite match the standard of the main dining area, but the beds were comfortable. The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives worth noting.
