We stayed in The Old Beams room, which is lovely. Breakfast was delicious and served in the beautiful dining room. The bar area is so atmospheric with the flagstone floor, beams, amazing fire and candlelight. The food was also fab, staff were very friendly. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for a winter break. ##### Katharine Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ilmington is a charming village and it is still unspoilt by tourism and traffic. It is so bucolic as the sheep graze on the hills surrounding the village and the quiet of the night is worth the price of admission. We loved the Howard Arms. The Village room was spacious and had loads of history and beautiful features. Breakfasts were plentiful with good options. We will definitely stay here again if we return to this part of the Cotswolds. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52EB2DF3DCF8220526820653CEFF2AF7CE0EDAA01739108400698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6DD5BBB55274BF36E92F339D2A5FDA7268EF63431739108400169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9E20B25F5F770A3AF067FE62451EDB1243E2C3791739108397502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/868D960AC4337D6EB257116248A9A6CA0E3B23021739108399302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Howard Arms was fantastic! The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. We were worried because our room was right over the beer garden, but everything was closed and quiet by 10 pm. The tavern decor is really nice and we had a very good quality dinner and breakfast there. It’s in a quaint small village and we took some lovely walks directly from the Inn. I highly recommend for a weekend or romantic getaway destination! ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KEITH Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities From the moment we stepped through the door to one of the nicest welcomes we have had at a hotel to the moment we left was just perfect. Our room, ‘The Study’ was superb, and so clean and comfortable, and the decor and design is beautiful. Welcome tray with great selection of teas and cafetière for coffee. We slept so well. The dining room is amazing as are all the staff, and again one of the best breakfasts ever. Howard Arms you are amazing, we will be back. Thank you Keith & Gwen ##### KEITH Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonita Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our stay at the Howard Arms! Surprised on the upside by the welcoming and friendly staff, the coziness of the bar and restaurant which was clearly a magnet for the local community, felt authentic and welcoming! Enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the evening, and an incredibly generous breakfast which we did not manage to finish due to the sumptuous dinner the night before! Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the surrounding Cotswold villages if you want something cosy and authentic! ##### Bonita Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen May 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful getaway The Howard Arms is a real gem. Would highly recommend for a peaceful and relaxing getaway in an idyllic and beautiful location. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and luxurious. The dining room and bar were 5 stars!! The entire staff goes above and beyond. 🌟 ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Aug 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room, surroundings and staff all first rate. Menu and variety could use some tweaking. For those, like us, staying for more than a few days the same 5 or 6 items leave little choice especially when some items are not cared for. Overall a great stay. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave Oct 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 10 out of 10 We both really enjoyed our selfs, the hotel was excellent and the staff couldn’t be more helpful, we had a lovely meal Friday night the food was excellent, ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Milana Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were absolutely lovely, and the breakfast spread was one of the best I've had at a B&B. My only suggestion would be that I noticed a few spiders behind the headboard and curtain, along with some dust and cobwebs in a couple of areas, which gave the impression that those spots hadn't been used in a while. Aside from that, I couldn't find anything to fault. ##### Milana Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### True Cotswold experience If you’re looking for an authentic Cotswold experience, this is your place! It’s set in the beautiful countryside, away from the crowded villages. The Inn is adorable, and tastefully furnished in period design. The dining room serves delicious, English dishes, and there’s a cozy pub, along with a back garden area for relaxation! The only negative was no air conditioning, but we had a floor fan that kept us comfortable. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Cobourg Inn & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Cobourg-Inn-Convention-Centre.h6662.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Downtown at CF Toronto Eaton Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Marriott-Downtown-At-CF-Toronto-Eaton-Centre.h26155.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Miramichi](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramichi-Hotels.d6141062.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Edison Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Hotel-Edison-Times-Square.h6260.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Toronto Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-InterContinental-Toronto-Centre.h4978.Hotel-Information) > > [Park MGM Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Park-MGM-Las-Vegas.h58201.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Ottawa-Ottawa-Hotels.0-n6057857-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hacienda at Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-The-Hacienda-At-Krystal-Grand-Puerto-Vallarta.h24930665.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/hnl/saskatoon-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/yyz/charlottetown-to-toronto) ### Activities ### Packages
