Farmers Arms Hotel

  The old Farmers Arms hotel was burnt to the ground quite a few years ago and this new red brick building emerged in its place. I can't say I like the new building but that is only my personal opinion. To me it doesn't have an identity. It's like a modern club without the poker machines. The old building burning down was the best thing that could have happened to it. It was well past its use-by-date. Having said that, the meals were always quite good. We have eaten several meals at the new Farmers Arms and all have been excellent - although charged at restaurant prices and not Pub prices. As one would expect from a new build, it is very clean. The board floors and the hugeness of the dining room make it very hollow sounding and difficult to hold a conversation. It is almost impossible to hear if the dining room is more than half full. There is a distinct lack of intimacy. The prices and the hollow noise and lack of intimacy is what I think mainly causes me to believe that the Farmers Arms is struggling to find its identity. The above may seem harsh and I don't mean it to be that way. It is just how I feel about the place having eaten there several times. The 4 Star rating I have given the business is based on the quality of the meals. They have always been very good.
