Arrow Mill Hotel is located about a mile from Alcester in Arrow, a pretty village, home to the Marquis of Hertford's family since the mid-Victorian period but dating back to ancient times when the Ceolred, King of Mercia awarded some of its land to a nearby monastery. Today, the village is defined in part by the huge gates to Ragley Hall and the gentle River Arrow flowing southwards to Stratford Upon Avon. This good-looking three star property can be found directly opposite Ragley Hall close to Junction 15 of the M40. With over 60 acres of land the former water mill is a great place to kick back and dream of ancient times.

The 18 en-suite bedrooms - with their exposed oak beams and boutique-style touches - offer panoramic views of the hotel grounds and the restaurant features a regularly updated menu that bags the best of local ingredients and adjusts sensibly to seasons. The fresh pickings from the Kitchen garden produce dishes of simplicity, yet full of flavour and character. Needless to say that the food at the Arrow Mill Hotel has earned an enviable reputation amongst locals. Gorgeous yet delightfully low-key and unpretentious. Highly recommended – R4U
