Visit website>"We stayed last night at the Sitwell Arms, whilst the room could do with a bit of an update (a plug socket next to the bed!) it was spotlessly clean and apart from the plugs there was everything we needed. We had an evening meal in the bar which was amazing Sadie and the staff could not do enough to help. So friendly and even though they were really busy they were really helpful. Breakfast the following morning - wow yet again the food was amazing. So fresh and the service from Sadie, again fantastic, friendly and so approachable. Thanks for a great stay thank you."
