What Gary Hartnoll likes about The Bankes Arms:
I didn't stay overnight, so I can't comment on the rooms, but the food and service in the pub were outstanding. The portion sizes were generous, especially the sharing platters, which are ample enough for three to four people. Service: 5 Location: 5. View all feedback. What Tai li Tang doesn't like about The Bankes Arms:
I felt belittled by the bartender and two locals when I simply asked if dogs were allowed in the bar. They then proceeded to give my dad attitude for requesting two half pints. The building itself is beautiful, but sadly, the same cannot be said for its patrons. I would not recommend this place at all. Service: 1, Location: 5. View all feedback.

Lovely pub with comfortable rooms, nice breakfast and friendly staff, traffic noise can be an issue if you have a front facing room.
