The Arundell

It is always a wonderful experience visiting The Arundell Arms in Lifton. All of the team are incredibly welcoming, friendly & helpful. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and well sized, with a coffee maker & tea making facilities. You can eat for dinner in either the bar area or restaurant, I have always found the food to be of a high standard, both dinner & breakfast. The garden to the rear in the summer is lovely for terrace drinks, in the winter there is a very comfortable lounge area. I do not fly fish, but if I did, & plan to at some point as it's on my bucket list, I would come here as I know they have both private fishing areas and also run courses. There is ample parking & not that I do, but if you have an electric vehicle, there are multiple Tesla chargers. Whilst when on business I do not pay for my rooms, I think the circa £150 per night is competitive given the high standards.

We had a lovely meal here, plenty of choice and served beautifully. The crispy duck salad was delicious, would definitely recommend this restaurant. Nice staff and a great area to sit with a log fire 🔥 chips were also very good. There is a big car park and lots to see.

We are local so been in the Arundell many times over the years. But never for afternoon tea. The reviews are good. So we decided to have a treat. Yet we were not impressed. Compared to lunch or dinner in the hotel it seemed poor. The jam was superb,the little pudding gorgeous. The sandwiches were not great,nothing like as good as the ones we've had at lunch or indeed in the deli. In fact we wished we had just gone in the deli. Afternoon tea should be a special treat, it wasnt.
