The Howard Arms, Ilmington

Very attractive Cotswold pub with delightful (but expensive) rooms. Quality of food on the two visits I have made had been varied, excellent starters but main courses left something to be desired namely over cooked breast of pheasant and very indifferent rib eye steak. What really irritates me abou The Howard Arms is their reluctance to serve you a drink after 11pm - if your are a resident they will provide one for you to take to your room, but this is hardly hospitality at its best. With so much excellent competition around the management need to keep on top of their game.
