Great pub, out of doors area, updated and very clean room, and a wonderful custom made brakfast. The Inn is over 300 years old and charming but modern. They even sent us on a fantastic hike the next day. A great place to stay! ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ilmington is a charming village and it is still unspoilt by tourism and traffic. It is so bucolic as the sheep graze on the hills surrounding the village and the quiet of the night is worth the price of admission. We loved the Howard Arms. The Village room was spacious and had loads of history and beautiful features. Breakfasts were plentiful with good options. We will definitely stay here again if we return to this part of the Cotswolds. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52EB2DF3DCF8220526820653CEFF2AF7CE0EDAA01739108400698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6DD5BBB55274BF36E92F339D2A5FDA7268EF63431739108400169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9E20B25F5F770A3AF067FE62451EDB1243E2C3791739108397502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/868D960AC4337D6EB257116248A9A6CA0E3B23021739108399302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Amenities Stunning location.
