Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Strutt Arms Hotel is often praised for its spacious and clean rooms, some even described as very large corner rooms, with comfortable beds and nice tea facilities. Guests appreciate the modern decor and the convenience of having plenty of parking available. Many enjoy the on-site Indian food, with some noting the breakfast is cooked to order and plentiful; however, a few guests have experienced rooms with a noticeable smell of Indian food due to proximity to the kitchen.
