While we were visiting our daughter in Kent, we planned a weekend to Wales to see our son-in-law's sister. On other family's recommendations, we decided to stay at The Bateman Arms. Glad we did, we really enjoyed our stay. Room 5 was really large with three single beds. The room was well furnished and was very clean. The only complaint was their procedure of turning the heat off three times a day. If you want to sleep in past 8, be prepared for a cold room.
The real surprise at The Bateman Arms was the restaurant. We were fortunate to have two dinners with them. Our first night, together we had crawfish/prawn salad, garlic mushrooms, veggie lasagna, and pan fried duck breast with an orange and Drambuie sauce. The wife liked her lasagna and I loved the duck--the best I ever tasted. Our second evening we had tagliatelle and, pan fried stuffed chicken. The dessert of note was the Eton Mess. This was the first time we ever had this dish and it was really outstanding. Note: kitchen serving hours 1800-2100, different for Sunday. read more
