Night Away

Really friendly welcome on arrival. Staff were really helpful throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble. Would like to give a big thanks to Chris who greeted us on arrival. Room was was really comfortable and we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed our meals, we had dinner in the evening and cooked breakfast in the morning. Couldn’t fault either. Good selection for breakfast - cooked, continental, omelettes, pancakes. Would definitely recommend Maltsters Arms, and would stay here again.

Great stay and staff

The young girl who checked us in could not have been more friendly and helpful. Actually really impressive in her attitude and way she dealt with staff and customers alike. Lovely room. Were it my hotel I would put mattress toppers on the beds as they are a bit tired. Lovely breakfast.
