Love this place. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is one of the best I've had. Had evening meal of steak and ale pie which was lovely. Very relaxed atmosphere. Only downside, the rooms need updating but are clean and comfortable, doesn't stop us wanting to return. Thank you

Lovely meal with excellent service. The Marton Arms is an iconic old building with super thick walls (a legacy of when it was built, 1679) and very atmospheric. Recently renovated without spoiling the feel of the place. Recommended by my brother and now I know why.
