Nice clean rooms friendly staff good food.
Very Tired
Surprised that The Mortimer Arms is in the Country Hotel Breaks List. One requisite of a Hotel should be a lounge area where you can sit and relax, especially after a meal, there is no lounge here.
The whole building is in need of a complete freshen up.
The best thing about The Mortimer Arms is the staff, they are amazing, so friendly and obliging nothing was to much trouble, really lovely people.
Not a hotel
An old country pub (c1900) which is in the course of being renovated. (Painter working all the time we were there) There is no lounge or easy chairs to sit and relax after a meal. There is only a bar area and dining room. There was a broken window in the bar which boarded up. Looked like it had been like it for some time.The bedroom was very basic, although the 5ft bed was comfortable. The double wardrobe contained an ironing board and a tall fan which had to be removed and stored in the room before we could use the wardrobe.The bathroom was very poor with a piece of cloth hanging in the window as a curtain. There was no shelf or cabinet to put any toiletries. The shower was no working properly. Mr Brother in law and his wife stayed in the pub at the same time. They paid 377 but we paid 512 for basically the same accommodation!!!!!!!! I did take this up with the staff but was told to take it up with you! so what will you be doing about it? To include this Pub in the country hotels list is not right. It definitely is not a hotel but a vey poor to average pub. In saying all of this the Staff was very good.
