Only a short stay as we were at a Wedding nearby. Lovely views, friendly staff, great breakfast and the room was spot on. Nice little touch with the l’Occitane bathroom products.
Really lovely pub in the quiet hamlet of DOWNHAM. Beautiful countryside and a great view from the much bigger than expected room.

Could be better
Upon arrival, the pub look magnificent in the afternoon sunshine but the welcome, after my long trip, was non existent. I was pointed in the direction of my room that was located in different building. The room was nicely appointed but the exterior wall in the bathroom had a serious fault in the plasterwork which demonstrated a lack of care or attention to detail. The damp issue had obviously been around for a long time!
Dinner was ok but with a little finesse it could have been much better. The standard of service was best described as disinterested. Breakfast was very good.
The setting of the Asseton Arms is delightful and I would possibly stay again
Great food and beautiful setting. Staff were a bit cold at times and less than attentive, but nothing that warrants an outright complaint. Room was sweltering in the night (stayed in August), and we had no way of asking for a fan. Might be worth asking for one as you check in.

Lovely staff
Staff were really lovely, couldn’t have been more helpful.
Everything was perfect. The location is beautiful. The pub is cosy. The food was really great, dinner and breakfast, friendly staff, comfy bed, lovely shower. I highly recommend it.
Nestled in the quiet countryside with amazing views. Walking available from your door. The room was spacious and well laid out… very comfortable indeed. One of the nicest hotels we have stayed in.Really good place to stay…. Highly recommended.
Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous village. Bedroom was well appointed, generously proportioned and really quiet. Hotel was full of character and rural charm, a lovely place to stay.
Wonderful stay, room, restaurant, food excepional. Must be almost 50 years since last here, trip down memory lane, did not fail to bring back memories of my younger days, but will return again soon. Views of the area so fabulous, peaceful countryside.
Beautiful views from the room over the surrounding countryside. Very good food in the restaurant with gluten free options available or easy to arrange. Clean and spacious room and bath room with good rain shower. Perfect place to stay for walking the surrounding hills.
