My wife and I went for a lite lunch on Saturday.
New owners are very friendly and welcoming. Food was great and really well priced. Looking forward to a Sunday lunch there ...( Once their new cooker is installed)
Excellent. Great to see the pub back to the way it used to be !

We stayed at the Grove Arms for two nights in June of 2024 and have nothing but good things to say about the place. Management was friendly, and bent over backwards to make our stay amazing. Including letting us stash our luggage there well after checkout.
Our room was clean, comfortable, and decorated with a canine theme. The food was great, and the breakfast was better than we could have hoped. The dinner menu consists of classic English pub fare, including fish and chips and steak and ale pie.
The pub is bright and inviting, and the locals that hang out there made our stay fantastic.
If you want information about local walking paths, Phil is your man. His directions got us all the way to Shaftesbury and Gold Hill and back on foot without incident.
Thanks to Daren, Andy, Simon and the rest of the local crew for making our time in Ludwell so memorable.
We cannot recommend the Grove Arms strongly enough.

What a lovely bed and breakfast. Super friendly staff, and the couple that run it are fantastic, very welcoming and super friendly. Rooms are lovely and clean, spotless actually! Felt very at home and would definitely choose to stay there again when we go there again! Almost home away from home.

Very disappointing stay. When I had booked in August, I had seen really good reviews. On the day of our booking, we were told our reservation wasn't on the system - despite having booking confirmation and having paid in full a week prior. The pub had been taken over by a new owner and none of the bookings had been transferred over - Very poor form. When we arrived, we were told that there would be fresh breakfast in the morning. It might have been the worst breakfast display I've ever seen - 3 cereals and a loaf of hovis, 2 near empty cartons of cheap bitter juice. When we were heading out at 2pm, breakfast dishes still hadn't been cleared away. Reviews had mentioned a lovely cooked breakfast a few months ago which absolutely was not the case. Only had one roll of toilet paper in our room and when we ran out, there was nobody around to ask for more. It sounds like this used to be a really good spot that's gone massively downhill since the new owners. Wouldn't recommend.
