We were 3 friends looking for a traditional English pub in a small village to stay at near to a few local golf courses to try. The Benett Arms in Semley did not disappoint. Great staff, location and a lovey pub with very comfortable rooms/ The food and drink was excellent with a lovely outdoor space to watch the locals (including a donkey) go by. Recommend the local fresh milkshake dispenser and farm shop. We will be back.

    Staff accommodated our request for a room with a bath rather than shower. Television signal was so poor. TV is essential with kids to keep them occupied even after a being out. Swimming pool was good fun for the kids.

    The property was very clean, the staff were very polite and helpful. The pool was good although on the first day it was a good temperature but the second day we went in it it was freezing cold and so I couldn’t take baby in for very long.

    Great location, fantastic staff. Andy was really helpful. The place was quirky and comfortable. No cooking facilities so be prepared to eat out all of the time which is not a complaint lol. For a family with young children I would only recommend for a couple of nights as the dining room seating was more suitable for older children and adults. Would recommend this place to stay.

    The hotel staff were very accommodating, we were travelling with a baby and they couldn’t have been more helpful. The swimming pool was a lovely treat. Our family room was a good size and comfortable for our needs on this short trip. Definitely would stay again.
