We had a lovely overnight stay here on 16/17 February. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable and the continental breakfast of cheese, salami, fruit and toast was delicious. We must mention the lady looking after the place for the owners - sorry that I have forgotten her name - she was super friendly and showed us the skittle alley and talked about the darts teams and the social activities they have planned. Would definitely stay here again when next in the area.

A simple and modest country village pub with very friendly owners who took great pains to welcome and look after me. Arriving late, they had kept a good supper for me. The bedroom was large, clean and nicely old fashioned. The old church nearby chimed through the night but did not wake me. As I left before breakfast, the landlords left me a sandwich and apple. In no way smart and modern but with a very warm and relaxing atmosphere.

It's a lovely old pub in a beautiful village Queen Camel that is full of old world charm. Quite remote with only one shop that we could find. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us in with our bags. The parking out the front was really handy. We ate the first night and the food was amazing. It was very noisy at night with music on into the early hours but the room was clean. Breakfast was adequate. We wanted to dine in on the Sunday night but found out they'd stopped serving food at 5pm, we didn't see anything to that effect and as it's a long way from anywhere it was lucky we had some snacks with us. Altogether it was a pleasant stay.

The room was ok for the price but what really let it down was the bed. The mattress was a poor quantity and so was the cheap pillows and bed linen. The breakfast was very basic with just continental on offer.

Basic but clean

Room was reasonably clean and the beds, while a bit on the soft side, were ok. I didn't like the green safety light over the door that stayed on all night (I like a dark room to sleep) but I understand why it is there. On a plus note there was plenty of storage - not that we really needed much for an overnight stay. Kettle was full of limescale - needed descaling! All in all everything was a bit tired looking. The bathroom could certainly have done with a freshen up - mouldy grouting in shower for example. Breakfast was very basic, advertised as continental but basically it was (limited) boxed cereals and toast. There was a fruit bowl and some flavoured yoghurts, along with a bit of salami, cheese slices and cheap croissants - non of it looked very appetizing, not was it particularly healthy or of good quality. Staff we encountered were very pleasant and polite, however we couldn't find anyone to give the key to when we left. One of the reasons we chose to stay here was because it did food in the evening - unfortunately, apparently, the chef had called in sick so this wasn't an option. They were able to suggest a nearby pub, however after a long day I wouldn't have chosen to drive out again, particularly as it then meant one of us couldn't enjoy a glass of wine as someone has to drive back.

Breakfast was included but no one to serve. At 8am we came down to have the breakfast but the bar/lounge’s door was closed, as well as the bar’s door. Tried at 8:20am and nothing; knocked the door and no response.
We had to leave the inn with no breakfast. No information whatsoever about meals timings or WiFi information.

Room clean and tidy however bed was broken, a wooden slat under the mattress to stop you dropping into bed base, needs a new bed in room, also advise you need a fan available in the rooms as none available in the room for hot days.
Might be worth mentioning the nearby church Westminster chime carries on through the night every quarter hour, will wake you up if you have to have windows open at night.
Food no complaints, however the smell of cannibis in bar area and outside due to a couple of locals smoking in the beer garden.
Alright for a night but wouldn't use as a base

A little rural treasure

The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Service is very good. The double room was very clean and tidy. Also quite, though you do, as someone else has mentioned previously, hear the church bells. Have to say it was not a problem for me. The room was very comfortable, a lovely view along Church Lane and across the stone cottages. It has the usual room facilities. The bathroom facilities were very good, especially the shower, as it was one of the few that I have used in hotels that did not leak onto the floor.
Breakfast was continental style, quite large to be honest and includes local produce. The evening/dining food is very good, the food is fabulous. It was noted that the local residents go there to eat too. Plenty of car parking. Its a quite location well off the A303. Easy access to the two main museums locally, but also to other places of interest as well. The local village Queen Camel is also delightful, with its stone cottages. Very little traffic, so quite during the day as well as at night. Definitely would go back.

We had a lovely night's stay at the Mildmay Arms and were made to feel very welcome.
The room was clean and comfortable with a powerful shower.
Our evening meal was tasty and we enjoyed our evening in the pub. The staff and the locals were really friendly.
There were cold meats/cheese/cereal/yogurt and toast on offer for breakfast which was included.
We thought both the room and the meal were really good value and would stay here again.
I would just recommend taking earplugs as the church bells do ring during the night! This didn't bother us.
Thanks for a lovely stay

This is an old-fashioned tavern with an inn. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, as were the local patrons. The included breakfast consisted of fresh fruits, cured meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, toast, juice, milk, etc.

We ate dinner at their restaurant the night we arrived and it was tasty traditional English food. I had a very nice fish and chips while my wife had a delicious meat pie.

The beds were a bit soft for my liking, but I slept comfortably. I could do without the green nightlight.

The property is located next to a cottage lined path leading to a quaint 13th centuty church. We opened the window for a better view and some fresh air.

I'd recommend staying here.

Great 2 night stay over the bank holiday weekend. Very friendly welcome from Rachel. Easy check-in as we'd paid in advance. Decided to eat in the pub as we'd been travelling all day, husband had the hunters chicken and said its the best hes ever had. Very large comfortable twin room with on-suite. No noise from the road or the bar heard (manager did warn us the 2nd evening might be noisier due to the bank holiday) but we never heard a thing. Sunday evening they had a bbq on rather that the menu but best bbq ever, Ben the chef outstanding food. We'd definitely stay again.

This property is a pub with rooms, and is very good. The rooms are away from the bar area and there was no noise from customers leaving at closing time. The room was clean and a reasonable size. The staff were all very good, friendly and efficient. We ate in the bar at night, but there is a separate dining room too. The food was very tasty, with an excellent apple cake dessert. Breakfast is cereal and toast, with tea or coffee. This was ample to set us up for the day. We would definitely stay here again, if in the area.

There was a warm welcome, but that's where it ended. The water was tepid at best both in the evening and in the morning. I and two other guests came down for the breakfast that we were promised and the place was shut up and dark. Not a soul to be found. The other guests and I managed to find some cereal and milk to which we helped ourselves. The manager caught up with me later on and apologised profusely but that did not help. These are the reasons I checked out three days early.

Friendly but underwhelming.

We chose the location as a stop-off enroute to Cornwall. We met the very friendly owners but unfortunately, had a slightly disappointing stay.
The superior ensuite twin room was really just a standard twin room with nothing really superior about it. An armchair may have made it more comfortable, if spending more time there. The bathroom was clean with a powerful shower, but the lighting was very poor and the green emergency lights, particularly in the bedroom above the door, were disturbing at night.

We had planned to eat at Mildmay Arms on the evening of our arrival, but discovered the kitchen was under maintenance so we had to travel on to another village to find a meal. We had also expected (perhaps wrongly) to have a cooked breakfast in the morning, but were told that only a 'continental' breakfast is now offered. Unfortunately, that was also rather underwhelming and we'd have done better to have breakfast elsewhere.

So, in summary - a basic bed for the night. (Once the kitchen is operating, it may well be good for an evening meal, but don't expect much more than cereal and toast for breakfast.)
