The Potter’s Arms is a traditional village pub set on the edge of the Chiltern Hills in glorious rural Buckinghamshire, but close to fast road and rail connections to London and the Midlands. We provide accommodation in our four comfortably-appointed en-suite bedrooms at reasonable rates. Perfect for a layover, and handy for departures and arrivals from Heathrow Airport - only thirty minutes away by car. Nearest tube station - 3 miles away.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I spent two nights there. The pub is lovely and our bedroom was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very nice with a properly working bath and shower. Food was a delight both evening dinners and breakfasts. My pot of tea had two tea bags instead of the usual one and it was quality Yorkshire tea too...a nice touch. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and attentive nothing being too much trouble. We said we might be late back having attended a funeral and they said that if the chef had gone home by then one of them could prepare some food for us...wow!! Richard the boss was on hand most of the time and what a lovely guy he is. The locals using the pub were great too. Can be a bit noisy if there is a do on but it's a pub that has functions and you have to accept that's how it is. Large carpark and the pub even had the village shop in the front garden open early morning till late at night. Maximum effort all round to make this place a success and they are certainly doing that. Thank you all at the Potters Arms. Made a sad occasion much less so.

Must have been an off day ! Staff were lovely and attentive but the food was dreadful. I always praise when good or say when not . I had the fish and chips . The fish had been drowned in cooking oil yet was barely cooked. My wife couldn’t eat the Thai curry. We couldn’t complain as friends had booked it ! Maybe just a Tuesday lunchtime with no chef ?

Stayed for one night. The room is quite small and I would not call it luxurious, but is clean and the bathroom is modern. There are just a few rooms over the pub. The pub offers excellent food at a reasonable price, and a very good full English breakfast was included with the room. It is well located on the green on a small village between Beaconsfield and Amersham. Well worth it for the pub experience.

Don't be fooled by the 5* reviews from others, I don't live like a Queen but I do have standards! £150 for a twin room over a pub? But trying to support small businesses since Covid. Outside looks lovely, but the room we had #3 was like going back in time. To the 90's! Magnolia walls, dark green bed spread thing, old toothpaste in the basin, 2 rotten mis-matched dirty rugs by the beds (I wouldn't even bother washing them!), 1 bedside lamp with the bracket broken and hanging out the top (if I saw it, the cleaner would've seen it), towels were old and like cardboard. Fresh milk in the fridge, nice touch, but it had been opened and used (to save wasting it, could have just put it in a jug🤷‍♀️) Just no interaction with anyone, apart from the young girl who served us drinks outside qhen we arrived. "RECEPTION" if it was, was bunged up and confused. Part of the bar we had to walk through was a mess, and STILL messy on Sunday morning. Just sloppy. It wouldn't take much to turn this around, they're obviously just not natural hosts (whoever they may be).

The area outside the Potters Arms is beautiful and quiet, lovely place to walk a dog or just to walk around, inside the staff are very friendly and nothing seems too much trouble, the rooms are beautiful the bed comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee provided and breakfast in the room, dogs are welcome, the food was cooked to a high standard, and tasted wonderful, I would like to thank them for a lovely stay.

Lovely and cozy place. Our vintage bedroom suited our needs: the double bed was comfortable enough and the room was spotless. The only downside is that the room is not well insulated and it's possible to hear the noise from the pub downstairs but it ended at a reasonable time.

We stayed here from the 2nd to 5th. There were 7 of us in 3 rooms and we had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was excellent and the breakfast was very large. The dinner in the evening was first class and we have no hesitation in recommending The Potters Arms. Thank you Richard and your team.
