Stay was ok, i am vegetarian and it was like being an after thought. One choice on the menu which was pasta. I gad a starter as a main coursein the end. No alternatives for a vegetarian breakfast. I justvthink its a bit poor. I pay the same as others and there is no alternative

Wonderful and friendly

What a gem! We were on a coast to coast cycle tour when we stayed, tired, bedraggled, hungry and potentially grumpy, but the warmest of welcomes, lovely accomodation and fabulous tasty food put the smiles back on our faces. Owners and staff could not do enough for us. Cannot too highly recommend this great place.

I love it when something exceeds our expectations, and this stay did. Awesome hosts, outstanding dinner and a huge breakfast (Make sure you book a dinner time before you go. They are very busy and there is nowhere else around to eat). Highly recommend.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Staplyton Arms. We used it as a base to explore the stunning local countryside and it was also conveniently based for our dinner reservation at the Black Swan Restaurant which was only a 5 minute drive away. The hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and comfortable and the lunch/breakfast was very good too. Overall I would really recommend a stay if you’re looking for a base to explore the area.
