We booked direct after reading several trip advisor reviews for our 14th wedding anniversary. We were met by a very pleasant enthusiastic young lady who introduced us to the owner, we were shown to room 6 which was excellent, newly refurbished and very contemporary. Our room had the look, feel and inventory you would expect from a 5 star hotel,... More

Had a great 2 days at the Wilson Arms, excellent location, the owners are still doing work to upgrade all the rooms and public area. The staff are excellent so was the food and drink. When the renovations are complete we would love to go back.

We recently stayed at the Wilson arms the night before my husband and brother were taking part in a charity bike ride, the Fred Whitton challenge. We had 6 rooms, which were all very nice, could just have done with more hot water as a lot of us showering at the same time. We had an evening meal there which... More

We stayed here Monday 7th May - greeted by very friendly staff. The room (3) was gorgeous, recently refurbished and beautifully done! The atmosphere in the bar was lovely and cosy with the fire roaring. The food was excellent and the best meals we have both experienced in a long time. Women's toilets are a must see - all done...
