Finch's Arms

Lovely quaint bed and breakfast stay at the Finch Arms after a family wedding reception at the Ladywood Estate. We arrived very late and enjoyed a lovely room and bathroom. Breakfast was generous and the waiting staff tried their best to accommodate as we were clearly hung over after late night. Would love to come again for a proper stay and walk around the water park. Thank you

It has a lovely decor but the food was mixed, especially for the price. The soup for example was quite watery and tasteless. The aubergine satay likewise disappointing. Service was functional but hardly charming. As visitors to the area I'm not sure I'd recommend.

We had lunch here in early January. The food was excellent. However the service was poor and the table position even worse. They are clearly trying to squeeze too many covers in, though they have quite a lot of space. To be specific the table was against a big pillar blocking any view from the window. There was a narrow thoroughfare by the table, sufficient to let one member of staff pass. All in all there were about 100 staff movements past the table. There is a good clear view of the gents toilet some 5m away. My wife does so wish men would finish doing up their flies before they open the door. There were no towels or hand drying facilities in the ladies when we arrived. Despite being so close to passing staff it took 15 minutes for the desert plate to be cleard. In that time we gave up on the idea of ordering tea/coffee, and instead asked for the bill, which came a few minutes later. 20 mins later someone came with the card machine. We did not add service and the member of staffed didn't seem surprised. Let me reiterate, the food was very good, with a good choice on the menu, good flavours and good presentation but one doesn't go just for the food. If you do go, go when it is likely to be quiet as you will probably get a better experience.
