We have often admired the building from the outside and decided to stay the night and dine for an night.
The room seemed newly decorated was ok, but the cleanliness was awful, it really needed a deep clean.
The food was poor, the fishcakes were basically potato and tasteless as we're the duck spring rolls.
Mains courses were also very...

We visit the Howard Arms several times a year as we don't live too far away. Over time we have taken a number of family members and friends with us who all agree that this is a great pub that serves great food in a welcoming and friendly environment. Sunday lunches in particular are fabulous!

Ilmington is a surprise and delight. This is the very northern end of the Cotswolds with all the honey coloured stone charm you would expect, with no crowds. There is a wonderful walk over the hill to Hidcote gardens about 3 miles away.
The Howard Arms has about 8 bedrooms - we were in the older part of the building...

Pub is a very good layout with semi formal dining at one end
Food at Dinner was good but not great and to be honest perhaps not quite as nice as we had hoped
Room was fine but...
