Assessor comments
"Pretty village pub serving excellent food."
Overview
Built during Shakespeare’s time, The Howard Arms is a quintessential Cotswold pub, restaurant and bed & breakfast. Peacefully overlooking an old chestnut tree on the green, it lies in the heart of the idyllic village of Ilmington. Inside, the fire crackles and the bar bustles with locals and visitors. Top-quality pub favourites sit alongside imaginative starters, mains and irresistible puddings.

About the area
The sparkle of sunlight on a gentle river as it meanders through beautiful countryside; the reflections of sailing boats on a lake; relaxing with a pint in the garden of an old English pub in a picturesque village; brightly coloured narrow boats making their way through a flight of lock gates; the imposing silhouette of an historic castle. These are the scenes that make Warwickshire a delight
