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.

The staff could not have been friendlier. Even the locals liked to chat. The room was well presented and clean. The bed wasn’t too bad we could have done with a couple more pillows but that was our fault for not asking for more. The continental breakfast was adequate. The restaurant was closed for our first night. but had a good meal there the second night generous portions and very tasty It’s a nice quiet village pub with good access to all local routs around the area I would go back when in the area again

The room is pleasant and clean and good value for the price, the restaurant was closed and only toast was available for breakfast so can’t comment on the food. Staff were welcoming and nice, a good value bed and breakfast.

A good location near the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Attrocious rain prevented the chef getting to work, so the owner kindly let us know in advance to make other dinner arrangements. Oil heater was on in our room. Cooked breakfast wasnt possible due to flooding and chef couldnt get to work. Continental breakfast was good.

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.)

The room was lovely and spacious and perfect for our stay. The owners Ian and Debbie were so welcoming and the staff and locals were great fun in the bar in the evening. Loved it and wished we were staying more than one night. Would highly recommend.

Lovely over night stay
First time we've stayed at the mildmay arms. We stopped off for an over night stay before going to Weymouth. Very friendly people. Lovely room and comfy bed. Had a BBQ while we were there which was lovely! Nice breakfast.

Amazing people, very friendly and welcoming. Really nice pub, room was great, comfy and clean. Plenty of parking. Overall very good place to stay - would have been good to about the church clock that strikes every 15mins all day and night though!

The personal touch !
Small issue with payment caused by hotels.com, no cooked breakfast due to staff shortages but evening meal was first class and Gavin the manager provided a standout continental replacement. Would highly recommend the restaurants food.

A lovely place to stay, but be aware of the bells!
A nice place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable apart from slightly lumpy pillows. Plenty of choice for breakfast. We ate dinner there on our 1st evening which was very good. The only niggle, which isn't the responsibility of the Mildmay Arms, is the church bell chiming every 15 minutes all day and night. We had to shut the bedroom window to get some sleep, otherwise it was a lovely stay.

Honest review, a few distracting issues
First the good bits: Location is great, staff are friendly and helpful, food was good Decor (fixtures and fittings) good Sadly let down by a couple of critical issues, may not be important to others and should be taken as my opinion The bed had seen better days, the carpets in the rooms were stained, the bathroom light was poor and the socket by the window didn't work. The cleaning cart was left on the landing all the time. The worst thing for me was i realised that the complimentary water was actually refilled, not fresh. Which then made me question the attention to detail of everything else. If you can't afford fresh bottled water, don't give it out. Breakfast was excellent
