The Howard arms was the first hotel we stayed at for our 25th wedding anniversary holiday, it was a wonderful start, comfortable, spacious room with a fabulously comfortable bed, Helpful staff, great bar and delicious food all in a location that was central to the Cotswolds and attractions but very peaceful and quiet

I can't think of a better country inn anywhere in England. We spent two nights in the Village room, which overlooks Lower Green. It is tasteful and spacious, with a comfortable sofa and armchair. In many more cramped hotel rooms, the bed dominates the room, making it impossible to truly relax, but that is not the case here. The first... More

We spent a long weekend at the Howard Arms which is in the charming village of Ilmington (well worth exploring the little lanes and pathways throughout the village). We stayed in the Garden room which is a very nice, large room on the ground floor. We were concerned when we read a previous review about the lack of hot water... More

We have just returned from our sixth stay at this wonderful, relaxing, peaceful inn. Definitely recommended. The service and welcome by all staff (especially Eve) is always unquestionable and warm.

The food was lovely and the wine list was good and not too expensive. The fruits of the earth starter... More

Its nestled in the centre of a sleepy Cotswold village with... More

Used to be regulars at the Howard Arms some 5 years ago but moved out of the area, We have now returned to the Cotswolds so decided to visit on Saturday lunch-time. The ambience has changed little, it's still wonderful. The service and welcome was "spot - on" and the food delicious. My wife and I had Fisherman's Pie (the... More
