What Previous Guests Had to Say
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Pavilion Arms is praised for its beautiful, well-presented rooms, some featuring handmade biscuits, fresh milk in the mini-fridge, and complimentary drinks. Guests often enjoy the comfortable beds and modern amenities, including streaming services on the TV. Breakfast is a highlight, especially the full English option with quality ingredients, though some found the continental selection limited when busy. The location is convenient, with the town center within a 15-20 minute walk, and some rooms may face a busy road.

the room was beautifully appointed, it really felt special! the hospitality tray was stocked with quality products. i appreciated that so much. the bed offered the perfect firmness for me, i slept so well.
the fridge didn't work in our room, so the bottle of milk we asked for didn't last long. the cold tap didn't work either, we had to use the cold water from the shower. i reported both items to the staff.
