A delightful (and deliberate on my part) change from the faceless corporate 'chain' hotels, this place and its people oozes charm and character. The recreation of a comfortable, homely, friend's hunting lodge is done very well (and according to the really engaging staff, deliberately). Made to feel very welcome on arrival by every member of staff and personally shown to... More

We stayed here for three days in April 2013. Room was great, wish we could have taken the bathroom home with us. The food was delicious, plus the added entertainment of watching it being cooked over the big open fire in the dining room, the chef must have been made of asbestos. The resident rooms are big comfortable and tasteful.... More

Really nice place. Room was immaculate [we stayed in Ellis] and the restaurant was good [tasty, unpretentious, good value] as well. There is a nice walk around the edge of the deer park. Very cosy and enjoyable weekend.

Had an excellent meal with colleagues last night. All 8 meals were spot on. I had the rib steak which was very good. The atmosphere is great and the staff first class and very attentive. The also have a home brewed chilli vodka....that was very hot. Can't wait to go back!

If you're passing through and get a chance then try this place out. Get booked in the Elk room if you can! Do take a walk around and admire the decor, its oddly superb. The staff, the food and the ale is terrific. I would recommend the local deer mixed grill, fish and rabbit dishes. Oh, and Carrolls potatoes are... More

Stayed over the Easter Weekend which was absolutely packed with people when we arrived on Saturday afternoon. I have to say, the place isn't exactly what we expected going from the web site. Enjoyable all the same but the place has a bit of an identity crisis with very strange artwork and bits and pieces dotted around (definitely not sure... More

A fantastic atmosphere, food, loved the decor & the open fires! Enjoyed it so much we popped in again the following day. The bar snacks are worth a look as well. A must visit if you are in the area! Definitely book a table as it gets busy.

Went for lunch today with a friend. We hadn't booked but were greeted well and a table was available. Then we realised that said table had graphic representations of a woman vomiting, another bleeding on a loo floor, a possible rape... And asked to be moved to another table which was done without demur. The food was excellent and I... More

Having read the reviews and hearing good things about The Gunton Arms, we decided to visit with friends. It is in a fantastic location, although unable to be appreciated. we arrived late evening, the car park was dimly lit and it was raining continuously. But the deer are known to come up to the house to watch the guests. I... More
